Horror fans could all probably relate to Anthony Woodle, whose love of the Halloween holiday and film franchise fueled his life. Charleston’s The Post and Courier brings word of the local fan that had his dreams come true more than once this year before tragedy ultimately ended his story. As they wrote it, Woodle made Halloween a focal point of his life, proposing to his girlfriend Emilee on the holiday in 2016, even selecting the date as their wedding day for this year. In another twist of fate, Halloween 2019 marked the date that Woodle learned he had been diagnosed with Stage IV esophageal cancer. As their date approached it appeared he wouldn’t make it to Halloween, but fate dealt another twist to the couple in the form of Halloween Kills director David Gordon Green and franchise star Jamie Lee Curtis.
