Blumhouse wants to make 10 Halloween sequels - But doesn't have rights

[A man of no consequence]

What's funny is, based on what was seen on the TV in HIII, the Myers Halloween is fictional and the HIII world is the real one.

Unless they want to go full meta and say that movie we saw was a fictional account of an actual event, and they both take place in the same universe, and they explain other sequels didn't get made due to the citizens of Haddonfield and Laurie complained of the movie's insensitivity of trying to capitalize on a tragic event, taking a jab at Hollywood and the popularity of slasher movies in the 80s.

They set that up in H2018, Laurie’s granddaughter and her friends mention a movie was made off the event in 1978.

Or the new timeline can’t merge the world but having Myers mask be made by Silver Shamrock, including his clown mask from his childhood killing. This way, the curse from the Druid cult found an evil host in Myers simply by him wearing a Shamrock mask and awakening him as the vessel of Samhain.

Including the remake, they're up to at least five different timelines across 11 movies, on top of pretty much every direct sequel having to retcon the hell out of the previous movie to work. And three of them are titled "Halloween". I have to say the series falls well short of the standards for artistic integrity and narrative coherence that we typically expect of slasher franchises.

We'd probably get Halloween Begins, Halloween Returns, Halloween Forever, Halloween Rises, then we get crossovers Halloween Screams and HalloWeed.

They fucked up not calling the last one either H40 or Ha11oween. Still to come: The Halloween, Halloweens, Halloween: Origins, Christmas: A Halloween Universe Story, Halloween 2099, and Halloween 3: Chapter 2.

Halloween - or at the very least any Halloween focused on Michael Myers - should've ended with the original in 1978. Change my mind.

Perfect. Let's bring back that cult form 3 and give them the love they deserve

She just said that Laurie and Michael supposedly being siblings was something somebody made up, she didn't mention a movie made about them.

That was the original plan, Halloween was going to be an anthology series, but people liked Michael so much...

$$$$$

Halloween 3 is massively underrated.

Definitely a fair point, but I really enjoyed the original part 2 and the newest movie. It's always a fun time to watch Michael Myers in October.

So aside from the whole town of Haddonfield trying to stop Michael, will this new installment give its own revelation on the character?

The trailer mentions that tracking Michael's victims lead straight to his home and the more he kills, the more he "transcends". Now this all may just be red herrings and fuel for trailer breakdown videos since I don't think Blumhouse wants to have a backstory that demystifies Michael like being in an Celtic cult or having an abusive childhood.

I think it's just metaphorical or whatever...the more he kills the more mythical and unstoppable he feels to the average person. They're not going to try and explain him. (hopefully)
