I haven't updated this in about six months or so --long before the death of Moustapha Akkad and his daughter. My heart and prayers go out to his family and all the families of those who were killed from the horrible and senseless bombing in Jordan a few months ago.
Although I had issues with Akkad's treatment of the Halloween series in the past few years (especially "Resurrection"), the original "Halloween" never would have been made without Akkad's help.
So, rest in peace, Moustapha Akkad and your daughter.
