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

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.

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

You're right, @cypocraphy, Blumhouse didn't expand on the backstory of Michael Myers. They just turned into John Wick, ironic considering the Wick character is described as "a boogeyman who cannot be killed" (they even showed how Michael survived the fire).

Much like the 2018 installment, Halloween Kills realizes on the references from the original film and even brings back several characters from the 1978 Halloween along introducing new characters who were added into this continuity after the '78 movie ended. Even though the film length was 105 minutes, the second act dragged on while the third act felt short and anticlimactic. It probably felt that way to me because of the tight shots that were done for the final massacre done by Michael, which among the dead includes former Sheriff Brackett and Tommy Doyle.

There is sub-plot where another Smith's Grove patient, that was being transported with Michael in the last movie, is still on the lose. At one point he ends up in the hospital with other main characters and is assumed to be Michael. Tommy leads a mob and gives chase while clashing with law enforcement as Laurie and her daughter fail to stop them. Eventually he gets trapped on the mid-level of the hospital and jumps to his death. Now this patient is fatter and shorter than Michael but Tommy says because Michael wore a mask, the people don't know what he looks like. That whole scene tried to hammer home the idea of Michael's evil acts have poisoned Haddonfield but this was not like the social commentary in Halloween 3, this was more Halloween 4 where a town posse accidently kills an innocent man for mistaking him for Michael.

Lastly along with the constant use of stock footage from Halloween '78 and '18, Dr. Loomis was included in a flashback scene. The makeup (or visuals) effects on the actor were not bad and the voice sounded like Donald Pleasence's although there is a moment where Loomis' character acts like he was in the beginning of Halloween II (1981). Also a scene from the aforementioned sequel was used in a flashback moment even though that movie never happened in this continuity.
