And I did that because The Long Halloween source material was what was being adapted and created for screen in The Long Halloween movie.
Specifically with The Long Halloween, I was definitely aware of the story and knew something about it ahead of time, I’d never read it.
And while my process is usually read every single thing I possibly can and pull the knowledge from anything that might help me understand the character, I did some thing different with this one and I did not allow myself to purchase or read The Long Halloween until we had finished principal recording.
So I wanted to let Gilda be real for the first time for this trajectory of this story based on the script.
