    I think if Halloween is going to continue then it's time to try something new, I think the anthology idea might be worth revisiting, because the Michael Myers ship has not only sailed, its sailed gotten lost in uncharted waters returned to port and sailed again, I don't think they can milk it much more than it already has been. The anthology idea however could present an infinite number of possibilities, the only limiting factors are the writers imagination and the budget, yes it didn't work so well with three but that wasn't down to the movie being necessarily bad it just didn't strike the cord it needed to, and that was along time ago and I think it's worth another shot.

    It sounds bit bonkers but very intruiging, I am not gonna lie.
    I would love to watch it :)
    I think Ends and Kills might be slightly inspired by this script.
    There are shades of this "spector Myers" in what we got from DGG and the crew.
    Well, there are shades of everything from Halloween history - made and unmade - in this new trilogy to be fair :)

  • @davec2470
    @davec2470 Год назад +1

    Resurrection was toying with the idea of bringing Michael back as some form of spirit that would become human long enough to kill, and then revert back to spirit form, until it was time to kill again. Early concept that obviously didn't pan out, but probably would have been better than what we got.

  • @kristinamarrie13
    @kristinamarrie13 Год назад +1

    With the weird transitional phase we’re in right now, I see it as not only the opportunities being endless, but also an opportunity for directors to start making movies like this along with other Halloween movies that were supposed to be made but never were. This one in particular would be an amazing start to bring Michael back.

    Awesome video bro, H4 is my fav poster, i finally got it in a black frame , for me H4 was pretty special, i was 13 At the time, it was a long time and H3 was not on my like list as i love it now, well we all know the story but H4 , i saw it in 1988 in theatres as it was rated AA here in Canada, my friend and i went, of course i loved it and to this day its my 3rd fav in the franchise behind the original and part 2-81, H4 has its flaws but for me that doesnt matter, i love it.

    definitely feels like a lot of it surfaced somewhat on Halloween Ends, similar to how some Halloween 666 drafts seem to foreshadow the 'hobo Michael' we'd see in Rob Zombie's Halloween II. gotta say, it's cool to see how no matter who's at the helm of the Halloween franchise creatively, some concepts and ideas will always around until fully crystalizing.

    Interesting idea for the franchise. Myers returning as some sort've spectre. And from the "absorbing the bullets" scene.This version of the Shape reminds me a bit of the T-1000 from TERMINATOR II.
    On the subject of the late lamented Cannon Films being interested in HALLOWEEN. I had read in Fangoria's FREDDY Vs. JASON Special that Cannon had also been interested in pitting Micheal against The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's own Leatherface also. Any info on that one ? Or did it not go anywhere past the just the pitch for MICHAEL Vs. LEATHERFACE ?

He ls not bitter about what he done, he’s bitter that his crap ideas for the next sequels weren’t listened to. Ironic he is bitter about the franchise, but still keeps collecting checks.
