It was my first movie, so I was more excited about that - just being an actress, never mind being in a horror movie. At that time, I wasn't even a horror movie fan. I did Halloween 4 and Halloween 5 back to back, and I decided that horror movies were all I wanted to do for the rest of my life. It was going to be my thing.
Danielle Harris (b. 1977) is an American actress.
Born in Daytona Beach and raised in New York, her first starring role, and the one she is still most famous for today, is Jamie Lloyd, the neice of Michael Myers, in
Halloween 4 The Return Of Michael Myers. She reprised the role in
Halloween 5 The Revenge Of Michael Myers, but not
Halloween The Curse Of Michael Myers, which killed the character off.

Halloween, she has appeared in a number of other horror films, such as
Urban Legend,
Blood Night: The Legend of Mary Hatchet and
Hatchet II, cementing her as a Scream Queen. She has also done television, both live-action (

That's Life) and voice work (
The Wild Thornberrys,
Father Of The Pride) for animation.
As for the world wide web, she was the host of Fearnet's
Route 666: America's Scariest Home Haunts, and along with fellow modern day horror legends
Kane Hodder and

- The Woobie: invoked Succinctly described by Arrow in the Head:
"What I love most about Harris, in addition to her petite physique, is the softness, the vulnerability she's so great at eliciting. When under duress, you just want to bundle this poor girl up and bear hug her for dear life."
