Wallace, and his wife Kathleen Wallace. He has one sister, Linda. He grew up in Bowling Green, KY and attended high school at Western Kentucky University teachers training school (aka College High). Education[edit] BFA in Design from Ohio University, Athens, OH MFA program (five semesters) in Film production at University Southern California, Los Angeles, CA Career[edit] Wallace entered the film business from USC film school, starting as an art director and editor for commercials and industrial films. In 1976 he worked as sound effects editor and art director on Assault on Precinct 13, directed by longtime friend John Carpenter, with whom he had previously worked on 1974's Dark Star, a low budget science fiction comedy that started life as a student film and took years to make. In 1978, he served as production designer and editor of Halloween, also directed by Carpenter. (He gave co-editing credit to his Assistant Editor, Charles Bornstein.) In 1980, he served in the same capacity for Carpenter's next theatrical release The Fog. In addition to his duties as co-editor and production designer, Wallace also appeared in Halloween intermittently as The Shape (the masked Michael Myers) and in The Fog as several different ghosts; his voice was featured in both films as TV/radio announcers. Directorial debut[edit] For Halloween II, John Carpenter, serving as producer, offered the directorial responsibilities to Wallace. After careful deliberation Wallace declined, citing disappointment with the script. Wallace did, however, write and direct the third film, Halloween III: Season of the Witch; his voice was also featured as the announcer and the munchkin singers on the Silver Shamrock commercial. Work over the years[edit] Wallace has continued to write and direct. In 1988, he co-wrote and directed the sequel Fright Night II starring Roddy McDowell. In 1990, he served as writer and director of the made-for-television miniseries It based on the novel by Stephen King. In 2002, he directed Vampires: Los Muertos, a sequel to the 1998 film Vampires directed by John Carpenter.
