While Lindsey was featured in multipleHalloweenfilms over the years,Halloween Killsmarks the first time Richards is returning to the role she helped originate.
“When I was eight years old, I asked my best friend to the premiere,” she recalls in the featurette. “I think her mom thought it was like a trick-or-treating movie, cute, ha! And we were terrified.”

Richards described her return to theHalloweenuniverse as “surreal,” and added that she had to “face a lot of fears” while filmingHalloween Kills. Still, she’s not letting Michael be one of them. “Now 41 years later, this is our town. He’s not coming back to terrorize us,” she says. “We are gonna get him first.”
In one scene, Richards has to flee Michael and jumps into a swamp to escape the killer — but before she could film the bit, Richards says the swamp had to be checked for alligators first.
“I see these three men with flashlights looking for gators. And I’m like, ‘What? Did you say alligators?’ Then I heard a big splash,” she says in the featurette. “It was a bullfrog. It’s all good, everybody, we’re good!”
