Movies to scare the howl out of Halloweeners

By RICHARD FREEDMAN Newhouse News Service NEW YORK you can celebrate Halloween by watching “Halloween II" when it opens in theaters nationwide Friday, Oct. 30, and the original “Halloween" on network television the following night. Never mind that they'll be out of sequence. In any order they make a great double bill, according to Debra Hill, who co-wrote and coproduced both films with John Carpenter. Looking far more glamorous than a writer has any right to be. Miss Hill was explaining here recently that she moved the setting of the "Halloween" sage from her native Haddonfield, N.J., to a mythical Haddonfield, 111., because she felt a midwestern setting more appropriate to her tale. But the experience of being a baby sitter in distress that she gives to Jamie Lee Curtis in the films is based on her own memories. “Like most 12- or 13-year-old girls in Haddonfield. I did my share of baby sitting," she

recalls. “I always had an active imagination, so I was scared to death most of the time. “I’d sit all night with my back to a wall, and made sure I knew where the family kept their kitchen knives. It didn’t help that a man called Igor used to show what he called ‘Horrorthons’ late-night horror movies on Friday and Saturday nights. My favorites -- after ‘Halloween,’ of course are “Night of the Living Dead” and “When a Stranger Calls.” Debra Hill comes honestly by her interest in making movies. Her father was art director for many of the Bing Crosby-Bob Hope “Road” pictures of the '4os, and although Haddonfield doesn’t boast a movie theater to this day, she spent many hours of her girlhood watching films in Camden, N.J., and Philadelphia. She studied the medium at both Temple University and the University of Pennsylvania while earning degrees in sociology and statistical analysis. Now she hopes films of high adventure like “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and her own “Escape from New York” will replace horror

as a popular genre. “I’d like to direct a movie, but a pirate or a war movie,” she says. “I don’t know why Hollywood insists that women can direct love stories better than men. “After all, many great romances have been directed by men, while “Old Boyfriends,” “Moment by Moment” and “It’s My Turn” all directed by women were not so hot. “I’m not particularly interested in the subject of romance anyway, although I’d like to make a movie of Gail Parent’s ‘Best Laid Plans.’ But certain love stories just can’t be filmed these days because of changing mores. You couldn’t make ‘lt Happened One Night’ now, for instance, without audiences giggling at the old-fashioned courtship of Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert. “On the other hand, I’ve never seen an Xrated film in my life. It seems to me I’d be very nervous and feel very uncomfortable if I were a teen-ager on a date even watching some things as tame as ‘Endless Love’ or ‘The Blue Lagoon,’ which had all the kids in the theater

necking. I’m nearly 32 now, and I still get nervous on a first date.” Miss Hill’s other current project is a murder mystery called “Clue,” based on the popular Parker Brothers board game. P.D. James, who has been called the finest English mystery writer since Agatha Christie, is developing a script with much puzzlement and multiple endings of greater intellectual complexity than you get in a horror movie. “One reason horror films are so popular, I think, is that they’re not allowed on television, so they can’t be debased that way. You have to go to a theater to see them.” Even in the relatively un-gory “Halloween I,” nine minutes had to be cut and refilmed for its television debut Saturday night. But Miss Hill proclaims herself happy with the substitutions. Audiences exempt from trick-or-treating will be able to judge for themselves if the film makes the same impact on the small screen that it had in a theater full of popcorn-popping screamers.

CHERYL LADD: She'll be princess People in the news

Raquel Welch to try Broadway play NEW YORK (AP) Raquel Welch, who hasn’t appeared in a play since her school days, says her selection as Lauren Bacall’s vacation replacement in “Woman of the Year” on Broadway “came out of left field.” “I couldn’t believe it,” said Miss Welch, who made her reputation in films. “But then I said to myself, ‘Why not?’ I’m elated. I’ve always had a dread of the New York critics, but this way they can’t close me because I’m closing in two weeks anyway.” Miss Welch will arrive in New York on Sunday for a month of rehearsals. LOS ANGELES (AP) Princess Grace of Monaco is miffed at plans by American producers to make a television biography of her life and career, starring former “Charlie’s Angel” Cheryl Ladd. “It has been brought to our attention that an American TV production company is proposing to make a TV program based on the life and career of Her Serene Highness,” said Nadia Lacoste, spokeswoman for the princess, who is the former film star Grace Kelly. “The princess wishes to make it known that this project is being done without her approval or permission and that she strongly hopes that it will not come to pass since it is an unauthorized invasion of her privacy,” Ms. Lacoste said in Monte Carlo. • A follow-up: Wher Peter Fonda saw a sign that said “Feed Jane Fonda bj the Whales” in a Denver airport last July 24, he had an angry brotherly reaction he ripped down the offending message. The 41-year-old actor was charged with disturbing the peace and destruction of private property because, witnesses said at the time, he tried to cut the name “Fonda” out of a sign taped to a booth operated by the Fusion Energy Foundation at Stapleton International Airport. The foundation promotes nuclear energy, of which Miss Fonda is a well-known opponent. The charges against Fonda were dropped Monday after two key prosecution witnesses failed to appear for the actor’s trial. As he left the courthouse, Fonda said that when he left California last weekend for the trial, his sister told him, “Go get ’em.” “She’s my sister,” he said, “and in my neck of the woods, you don’t get away with saying anything bad about someone’s sister, mother or grandmother.” • British actor Oliver Reed, arrested last month in a barroom brawling incident in Stowe, Vt., pleaded no contest Tuesday to two charges of simple assault and was fined $1,200. In a plea bargaining arrangement worked out by the actor’s attorney and the Caledonia County prosecutor, charges of unlawful mischief and attempted simple assault were dropped. “In addition to the fine, Mr. Reed will give, at his own suggestion, SI,OOO to the Stowe Rescue Squad, a voluntary ambulance operation,” said Alan Thorndike, the actor's attorney. “He likes the idea of a nice gesture,” said Thorndike. “He’d rather leave a better impression than the incident might have left.” In the brawling incident at the Pub restaurant, Reed was hauled away after challenging other patrons to armwrestling matches and fistfights. The bar’s co-owner, Richard Hughes, said that later Reed paid $250 for furniture and glassware broken in the melee. Thorndike said that his client planned to build a vacation home in the Stowe area and that “since he’ll be a sometime resident, he doesn’t want any bad feelings.” • One of the great American pastimes seems to be kidding the president and his family. The latest example is “The First Family Paper Doll and Cutout Book,” and Nancy Reagan likes the ribbing she and the president get, even though it shows the Reagans in red, white and blue underwear. She likes the book so much, in fact, that she has asked for 10 extra copies, which the Dell Publishing Co. was quick to supply. Sheila Tate, Mrs. Reagan’s press secretary, confirmed Tuesday that Mrs. Reagan had seen a copy of the novelty book and found it amusing. “Mrs. Reagan loves the paper dolls, and would like copies to give to her children and friends,” Mrs. Tate said. Ten copies of the book were delivered Tuesday to Mrs. Reagan’s suite at the Waldorf-Astoria, where she is staying while in New York to receive several awards. The book, which follows strictly the style of children's paper-doll books, has cutout wardrobes labeled “Ronald at the Ranch” and “Nancy at the Ranch.” Mrs. Reagan's accessories include a holstered ‘‘quick-draw blow dryer ”
