[Interview] Erik Preston Talks Playing Young Michael Myers in ‘Halloween 4’ and More

One of only a few individuals to ever appear on screen as Michael Myers in a Halloween movie, and one of even fewer to play the clown-costumed six-year-old version of the iconic killer, Erik Preston joined us on our Michael Myers Monday Live show this week for a brand new interview and viewer Q&A, discussing his memories from Haddonfield filming Halloween 4 and much more.

During our live conversation Monday night, Preston also gave his thoughts on Halloween 4 director Dwight Little’s recent comments on wanting to make a requel to his 1988 sequel and the Halloween franchise TV series that is currently in development with Trancas and Miramax.

And of course we discussed what Halloween the holiday itself means to Erik, who tells us that he was always a “horror kid” even before portraying Michael Myers.

You can watch our full interview from this week’s Michael Myers Monday Live broadcast with special guest Erik Preston below. (The interview begins at the 14:45 mark here.)
