Maybe they should give the tv series idea a shot. At least it’s something & it’s not just jumping into another movie.I get where you're coming from, but god damn, I don't want to wait that long again. The wait between RZH2 and H'18 was 9 YEARS! As a massive fan of the franchise I found it to be absolutely unbearable. And what did we get for all that waiting? Dogshit. So I say it's better they get right back to it. After all, imagine.... Batman Begins came out 8 years after Batman & Robin, but that's not what made it good. What made it good was that it itself was genuinely good, regardless of the other films. Had Batman Begins come out a year after B&R instead of 8, I still think it would have been just the same sleeper hit it was, because of how good it was. (In fact, the previous Batman films were such shit that nobody initially seemed to care about Batman Begins. It wasn't until crazy word of mouth spread that it started to pick up steam). Word of mouth works wonders. The same could be true here.
Although I don't think we'll get a film until 2028 (50th Anniversary) I would love to have the next one out by 2025. And if it's good, then the absolute crap that came before it will be immediately washed away and we'll be excited again and all will be forgiven (the Batman Begins effect). But if it's dogshit.....fuck.... then hopefully that means the next iteration won't be too far around the corner after that. Realistically, the more films we get, the better the odds are of something finally good coming along. I mean, they can't keep striking out can they, with crap after crap after crap after crap? There's gotta be a good one again at some point.
I shudder to think at how bad the F13th fans have it. 2009. Or even worse, the Freddy fans. 2010 if you count the remake. And 2000-fucking-3 if you count the last one with Robert Englund! And 1994 before that! That's horrendous!
So I say let's get this shit rolling ASAP.
I'd be interested to see what they came up with for a TV show. I think we kind of know how it's gonna go given the current landscape and way things are done, but even then, I would at least take a look. I think the ideal time for a TV show was honestly the mid-90s, pre-H20.Maybe they should give the tv series idea a shot. At least it’s something & it’s not just jumping into another movie.
Halloween has stuck the landing what, 1 time out of the last 6 tries? Maybe 2 if you count RZH1’s as a good entry which I think there’s a case for.
For at least a long time. Let us want it. We didn't get a live action Joker from 1989 to 2008. That's why it was a big deal. Now we have had 3 in the last few years, all in different universes with different sequels! Same thing with Halloween. Let it rest for like 10 years and then let me hear that theme again and get amped for another one.
Hot take: 3 is the best. Tom Atkins rules.

H1, HII, HIII, and H4 have all gotten official novelizations but none after that have.
This was written by a fan. For fan work, it's actually pretty good. I highly recommend checking it out. For those who've ever wished for the movies after #4 to get their own book....H5 is finally here (or as close to it as we're ever going to get). Not perfect, but good.
I have it ranked #3 in the entire franchise. It's been as high as #1. Then moved to #2. And now I have it as #3. But it's based purely on enjoyment. I love it.Hot take: 3 is the best. Tom Atkins rules.
There's aspects of it that are EXTREMELY good, and aspects of it that had me shaking my head and rolling my eyes.nice find I'm reading it now
it's not perfect but it's entertaining
I love that this is kind of like the heart of old horror movies
you get something you are passionate about and as much money and time (and cocaine) and out out something that won't be perfect but will be a damn good time.
this is a passion project for the dude and get does really well putting all the pieces of the lore together
Now this is a great commercial!
I'd like to see a TV show explore the anthology route. Each episode could be a different story based around Halloween the holiday. Then every so often they can do a Myers-related or Myers-centric episode. But most of them should be stand alone. If they do it right it could be awesome. (But who are we kidding)I liked the Blumhouse trilogy but I'm glad they are moving on. It's probably time for another reboot but hopefully they can let it sit for a big. I'd still prefer them go the Halloween anthology route with a different Halloween story every year but the Akkad's are dead set on Michael forever.
I'm mad at myself for taking so long to appreciate 3. It was always the one without Michael Myers and now I have it up high as well. The score, the vibe of the movie, Tom Adkins, the grim ending, just a good fun movie.I have it ranked #3 in the entire franchise. It's been as high as #1. Then moved to #2. And now I have it as #3. But it's based purely on enjoyment. I love it.
It's one of the best promos I've ever seen for this franchise.The USA commercial still holds up as the best piece of post release marketing ever done for the Halloween franchise.
