Thoughts? Nice to see Carpenter coming out of retirement to unfuck his creation.

Okay firt, I don't know if we can say "made by CArpenter" if he is only executive producer. I know this gives him a lot of power, but the style is often determined even more so by the director. Second, do we really need another one? I will say one thing: I love Halloween. It was one of the first horror movie franchises I ever saw. And the first one as well as H20 hold a special place in my heart.
But I am also aware of how screwed up the franchise is. Part IV till VI, who involve a cult and an abandoned daughter by Laurie anyone? the ninth who fucked H20's finale, which was pretty damn awesome, up the ass and killed off Jamie Lee Curtis within the first ten minutes? As I see it, the franchise has goten out of hand/jumped the shark years ago to the point that bringing it back to its roots and make it legitimately scary again is a task I don't even know Carpenter is capable of doing. And he still has sparks in him, don't get me wrong (the kind of music he e.g. makes with friends is awesome to listen) but after H:Ressurection, I doubt there is anything you can do as a sequel that works. Preuel about Loomis losing his faith in mental patient Michael would be perhaps an idea, but otherwise?
At least it would not involve Rob Zombie, as Redneck Michael Meyers was the worst.

Isn't this installment the one that is suppose to take place after the original (where Halloween II happens) that has a bunch of teens hanging out in the hospital where Laurie is and then Michael shows up?
Let's hope it doesn't touch on the remakes, those were just awful.
And then there was Halloween III which was, I don't even know what the fuck that was.

An extended Goosebump episode?
After II, they wanted to turn the movie franchise in an anthology of unrelated Halloween-themed movies with different villians, rather than rehash the same thing over and over. Halloween III was the result, but it got enough flak that they went back to Michael after it anyways.
