Tema: Moustapha Akkad, productor de HALLOWEEN muere

Various sources have reported tragic news: HALLOWEEN godfather Moustapha Akkad was one of the victims in the terrorist bombings in Amman, Jordan this past Wednesday, along with his daughter Rima. The two were in the lobby of the Grand Hyatt hotel when it was struck by a suicide bomber, at the same time as similar attacks on the city’s Radisson and Days Inn hotels. Rima was killed instantly, and Moustapha was badly injured and suffered a heart attack. He was taken to a Jordanian hospital, where he died at 7:30 a.m. local time. The two were in the city for a wedding when they were killed.

Akkad was the executive producer behind all eight of the HALLOWEEN films, and was developing a ninth with Dimension and his son Malek (the two discussed it here). He also produced and directed the epics THE MESSAGE (a.k.a. MOHAMMED, MESSENGER OF GOD) and LION OF THE DESERT and executive-produced the 1985 chiller APPOINTMENT WITH FEAR.
