Jimmy Kimmel is known for pulling some unforgettable Halloween pranks—most notably, when he asks parents to convince their kids they’ve eaten all their candy. But in last night’s episode of his eponymous late-night show, he tried something more terrifying (and traumatic).
“Halloween, as you know, has one of the most iconic villains in movie history: Michael Myers. He is very well-known to adults, but maybe not as much to kids. We asked some parents who were walking by our theater if they wanted their kids to take a Halloween picture, the same way you take a picture with Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny,” he said. “We told them this picture would be with Michael Myers. Believe it or not, lots of parents sent their children in!”
