For me personally I have two but there’s some conditions. If they were to make a new Halloween movie tomorrow then my dream Halloween film is a sequel to Halloween 4. As we see Jamie traumatized by her past and her actions and has visions of killing again and throughout the film she sees herself killing everyone. Just for it to be revealed in a twist it is Michael killing everyone not Jamie. But since Jamie is dead and still has some mental health problems and was probably released from the mental hospital too and since she blames herself for everything that happened in 1988. She in her own twisted mind thinks it’s her that evil and doing these things. When actually it’s Michael doing the killing. But something else I’d like would be a true sequel to Halloween 2018. I like kills but 2018 deserved a much better sequel. Don’t bring back Laurie tho. Have it be about Karen and Allyson four to five years later moving on with life. Until Michael returns and have to try to stop the shape as he stalks a new group of friends. So those are my two dream Halloween films. Tell me yours?

What about a series called Smiths Grove and set during the time young Michael is there. Make him a background character and feature the staff and some patients. Would love to see it set in the early 1970s.
Especially seeing maybe how loomis obsession with Michael affects his personal life. See him go from a genuine caring middle aged man with a family. To a broken man parnoid fearful man and whose family has left him. And by the end of the series we see the loomis we see in the original Halloween.
Hey I’d love to see something like that.
There's a script in the form of that concept in simplyscripts that's ironically titled 'Halloween'. It begins in the same fashion as the original Halloween film just a tad bit different with Danny(Judith's bf) & Judith herself being actual characters instead of being just cannon fodder.
After Michael does away with Judith, it picks up straight into Michael's life & childhood in asylum with Dr Loomis having even more involvement with Michael in the script, Michael's parents also have character development & are trying to figure out what's wrong with their little angel of a boy. I believe Laurie is not in it(good actually) & she's not even mentioned once in the script.
I think they should do a movie showing Lindsey as she is growing up and what happened to her and Tommy as they got older
Would the walking dead count
Sequel to 4
Sequel to 4
A sequel to Halloween 3. Michael has been done to death.
It’s an interesting idea and i think fans hardcore fans would be a lot more receptive to it now than back in the 80s. But I just don’t think realistically anything like this would ever work. Unless if maybe they did it in a tv series but as a movie I don’t think it’d work.
True, it would probably help the general public if it were under some kind of spin off label.
I honestly think the only way they would be successful at continuing Jamie's storyline would be to make a TV series that was a continuation of H4.
Yeah you’re probably right but i realistically don’t see them ever doing that. And if they do it won’t be for years as it seems like what next for Halloween to my understanding is some kind of expanded universe with tv and movies. I hope it’s good if it’s true they’re gonna go in that direction
Nah they won't. However I would be into it more than a movie continuation.
One where they do the original anthology concept. Start with a direct sequel to Season of the Witch showing the aftermath of the ritual Cochran did. Then, each new one is a new story centering around Halloween the holiday. No more Myers.
I remember reading somewhere that when Halloween 3 was released, Carpenter talked about plans for the 4th & 5th film. He said the 4th sequel was going to be a ghost/haunted town movie with weird shit happening involving a mysterious past incident. I think he also wanted it to take place in Haddonfield for some reason 🤔.
5th from what I can remember was supposed a Werewolf movie.
A proper continuation of H4 that ends with a showdown between Jamie and Michael
Get Danielle Harris on the line and let's do this!
Idk about that. Honestly, time has passed so much that it would be redundant to making it & releasing it today. Plus star power is a major factor in today's times, whether we like it or not. Danielle Harris is damn good actress, but she's not a great draw when it comes to the Halloween franchise.
I don't believe it would ever get made but a fan can dream. Yes, JLC is the Halloween draw. It's like Heather Langenkamp as Nancy with A Nightmare on Elm Street. People would want her over a Lisa Wilcox as Alice version.
Anthology movies again.
I'd go with a VERSUS movie. Like Michael vs Jason. It would probably be cheese, but it could be fun too.
Almost everything else has been done. I definitely don't want to see anymore Laurie Strode. Nor do I want to see Jamie return and essentially evolve into her being a surrogate Laurie. Michael just stalking and killing again would probably be a bit dull too. Though, having a movie that revolves around Loomis might be cool if written properly. The casting of Loomis would have to be spectacular for that to be a win.
I’d be down for Michael Vs Jason. Idk who i would want to play Michael but for sure i would want Kane hodder jason 100%
A crossover can be done with these two, you don't even need deep, metaphorical crap for the plot. Although the protagonist & side characters need to be at least decently written imo. Only the plot device that brings them together might be tricky.
Having them occupy the same space might be tricky.
Though, it could be as simple as Myers being transported to a new psychiatric facility that is close proximity to Crystal Lake. As per usual, he escapes and then ends up at the camp site. It could all take place in one night.
Hot take: A shot for shot remake of the original, but with the production budget that Halloween Kills had during it's flashback scenes. I think it could work, and be a way to "modernize" a classic without straying too far from what made the original so great. Have the foundation of the original, but the look and feel of a modern horror film. To help bring in new audiences and have them experience it as though it were released today, which I think would be cool.
Alternatively I would a sequel to the original, but this time have a new protagonist but the same exact Shape from the original. And for the love of God keep it simple and faithful to the source material. Don't get any ideas as to The Shape's origins and what motivates him, always keep him an enigmatic boogeyman stalking killer who is always lurking in the shadows and waits patiently for his prey. Keep him the way he deserved to be.
I love both of your ideas (especially the first)
Thank you, since the Kills flashback it showed me it can be done if everything went smoothly and no one gets any creative ideas that would ruin it. Chris Nelson nailed it with the flashback mask. It really made me want to see a fully fledged 78 remake or modernization of the film. I think it would gain a lot of traction.
And of course alternatively, the sequel would be fresh. No 60 year old Michael, no different iteration that changes the lore. The good ol fashioned Myers doing his thing. It's really simple. Additionally some new faces to the franchise. Out with the old, in the with the new. Done right hopefully.
Exactly simpler to me is always better and that’s where Halloween ends lost me. It got way too complicated for me.
Yeah. I can get that. Had they stuck with the original concept I think it would have worked better. Keep it simple, no need for creative choices that make things more complex than they need to be. I'm not saying you can't take creative liberties, but if you're making a movie for the fans, limited creative liberties should be considered.
I think a shot for shot remake or close to it is what we will get when they reboot the franchise. And the sequels will, hopefully, be more planned and thought out so we don't have five timelines or however many there are later down the line.
I hope you are right. It would be something different for the franchise, instead of a retelling, modernize what the fans love and adore more, and work from that in a smooth and simple way. No crazy ideas, keep it cool.
I'm hoping the sequel to a future Halloween reboot would take elements from the Halloween Returns script. That cornmaze scene was amazing to read it.
I have to find and read that. A cornmaze scene in a Halloween film sounds like a no-brainer. That makes me think, over the whole franchise they haven't really exploited the actual Halloween holiday and the activities surrounding it other than trick or treating itself.
"A shot for shot remake of the original, but with the production budget that Halloween Kills had during it's flashback scenes. I think it could work, and be a way to "modernize" a classic without straying too far from what made the original so great."
I always wanted it this, it's my ultimate dream slasher movie 😍😍
Me too, especially since the Kills flashback scene. It can be done, but it has to be done right. Much like how Capcom are modernizing their old RE games with remakes, I think Halloween could benefit from this as well. Not just to introduce new audiences, but to use it as a opportunity to start fresh by building off that remake and introduce new characters and stories surrounding the original Shape.
A GOOD remake, like keep it vauge and scary like the original but a higher production value. No More sequels !
A film adaptation of the comic Halloween: Nightdance.
I’d want a sequel to H20 (and I guess Resurrection to explain why he’s alive) and with John as the protagonist, allowing himself to move on with his life and not have what happened to Laurie happen to him. But Michael returns as his mission is not over, Causing John to avenge Laurie and break the curse (metaphorically, no cult of thorn).
