It’s a touching but saddening story at the same time for two horror fans that were engaged to be married in 2016 and finally tied the knot in September of 2020, with none other than scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis officiating over the phone. Anthony Woodle was diagnosed with esophageal cancer some time ago, proposed to his fiance Emilee on Halloween of all dates, as the two shared a love for horror movies, and was wed shortly before his passing, with Curtis offering her blessing and officiating service after it had been set up in a very special manner.

Usually, when I’m writing about Halloween, I’m salivating over the tense atmosphere, terrifying kills and badass John Carpenter synth music. But this story is a little more sentimental.
Anthony Woodle was a 29-year-old aspiring director and horror superfan with a particular love for the Halloween franchise who was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2019. He was battling the condition, but things took a turn for the worse and he realized his time was short.
As such, he decided to marry his long-term girlfriend Emilee – but with an awesome twist. Woodle got in touch with Rough House Productions, the company responsible for the rebooted Halloween movies and explained his situation. They then put him in contact with Jamie Lee Curtis, who agreed to officiate the ceremony by phone on September 13th.
