Where Are They Now - November 7, 2014

Hello fans,

I hope that everyone had a great Halloween last week. Can you believe it snowed here in the Chicagoland area? It was cold, nasty and certainly not conducive to a fun night of trick-or-treating!

Speaking of Halloween...this week we catch up with one of the stars of John Carpenter's 1978 classic slasher film Halloween - Nancy Kyes. Let's find out what she is up to now!

Take care,
Melissa
