It’s a killer story.
“Ted Lasso” star Juno Temple said that she grew up in the home that was said to be owned by the family of the famed fictional serial killer Michael Myers from the “Halloween” franchise.
“So my parents were living out here and I used to be born actually in the U.K., but then I got here back here until I used to be about 5,” Temple, 34, said Tuesday while appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
“And I actually grew up in, that is an interesting place to grow up, my parents bought a house without realizing until Halloween got here around and there was a tour bus that it was the original Michael Myers house from the ‘Halloween’ movie,” the actress laughed.
The “Horns” actress’ revelation caused Kimmel’s studio audience to gasp and applaud.
“Oh yeah,” Temple said, laughing herself.
When asked by Kimmel, 56, if she had any idea of the home’s popular culture significance, the “Maleficent” actor responded that she “was 5.”
Kimmel then joked that each one realtors are imagined to disclose the undeniable fact that there had been a murder in the house “even when it’s fictional” to potential buyers.
Temple recalled one memorable Halloween when a tour bus got here past her house.
“Apparently there was a moment where I used to be outside on a swing, probably fiddling with Barbies and fairies,” Temple recalled for the late-night host.”And I actually have naturally very curly hair and the tour bus was like, ‘Oh my God it’s Shirley Temple!’ and I turned around and was like, ‘No! I’m Juno Temple!’”
The story caused each Kimmel and audience members to start out cracking up.
“And wasn’t Shirley Temple around 67 at the moment,” Kimmel joked.”And that tour bus operator confused you?”
In the “Halloween” franchise, the house is situated on Mission Street in South Pasadena, California and is where Myers kills his older sister in the film’s opening.
The house of Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) — which was sold several months ago in Illinois for nearly $1.7 million — can be situated on Mission Street.
Since the original film starring Curtis,64, released in 1978, there have been 12 “Halloween” movies culminating in 2022’s “Halloween Ends.”
The “Knives Out” star posted a photograph on Instagram, calling her last day on the film’s set “bittersweet.”
“All the things good in my life could be traced back to Laurie,” Curtis wrote in an essay for People. “I used to be with the author of the original ‘Halloween’ after I saw my husband of 37 years for the first time.”
“As I write this, I keep connecting the dots,” Curtis added. “If I hadn’t been in ‘Halloween’, I wouldn’t have met John Landis, the director who put me in ‘Trading Places’ and showed the world I could be funny.”
“It’s now the end for Laurie and me. I’m weeping as I write this. I’m going to miss her. Movies are make-believe, but that is my real life. Mine has been made higher by her,” the “Freaky Friday” star concluded.
“What I can let you know is that I now know the reason why I’m so good in horror movies. It’s because I’m not acting. After I look scared in a movie it’s because I am scared. I’m scared right away, as I hang up my bell-bottoms and say goodbye to ‘Halloween’. Life is horrifying. But Laurie taught me that life may also be beautiful, full of love and art and life! Thanks all for MINE!”
