Danielle Harris Documentary Set: ‘Halloween’ Scream Queen Examined

Deranged Minds Entertainment has announced a feature-length doc on an iconic scream queen.

Danielle Harris, the actress who was in four “Halloween” films and many more projects, is the subject of a new film about her life and career shot over the last three years.

Per the official description, “Before she was old enough to drive, Danielle Harris had outrun Michael Myers twice and held her own opposite Bruce Willis and Roseanne Barr. Off screen, she survived far worse: her father’s death in an unsolved car accident, the suicides of a famous partner and a close friend, a stalker who tracked her for two decades and a pregnancy complication that stopped her heart.”

The documentary includes archival footage, private home video and interviews with Harris, her family, friends and collaborators.

“People think they know Danielle because they grew up watching her,” director and producer Destinie Orndoff said in a statement. “They’ve seen the performances. They’ve never seen what it cost her, and Danielle didn’t hold anything back.”

Some of Harris’ film credits include 1988’s “Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers,” 1989’s “Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers,” 1991’s “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead,” 2007’s “Halloween” and 2009’s “Halloween II.” She also appeared on TV in shows like “Roseanne” and “The Wild Thornberrys.”

“In the three years of filming, I had the honor of getting to know the woman off the screen,” director and producer Tristan Clay said in a statement. “I can’t wait for audiences to see this side of her.”

The documentary is currently in post-production, with a festival run planned for 2027. It is produced by Orndoff, Clay, Hayden Todd Wilberger and Jordan Wyant. Distribution inquiries can be sent to derangedmindsentertainment@yahoo.com.
