Before shooting Halloween, Neither Kyle’s, nor Brian
Andrews’ parents were told of the chilling inspiration
for Halloween. Kyle Richards portrayed Lindsey
Wallace, Daughter of Ron and Tami Wallace and
Tommy Doyle’s friend from across the street. Kyle’s
real-life little sister was “gunned-down” three years
earlier in John Carpenter's third film, Assault on
Precinct 13. It is presumed that Kyle’s sister’s
involvement with Carpenter was her ticket to her own
role. Since Halloween, Kyle has gravitated toward
theater work, which is no surprise after starring in a
movie which has surely resulted in many a sleepless
night.
