For Synergy's Sake! Michael Bay could be handling the "Halloween" films


Oh me Lord! Folks are still trying to do a "Halloween" flick! Whyyyyyyyyy? (in my best Annie Lennox, voice) After the mess from Rob Zombie, I thought this alldaymare was done. But no, no, no, I learned today that the demon himself, Michael Bay and his folks at Platinum Dunes could be working on a new Halloween flick.

From Blood Disgusting:
While some of you may think this is an April Fool's joke, it's not. Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report that Platinum Dunes is in talks to take the producing reigns on Dimension Films' forthcoming Halloween sequel.

Word has it that Michael Myers' return will not be in 3-D, nor will it instill the popular found footage model, which was originally being explored for the potential Friday the 13th sequel.
No, just do a wrap-up film to end it and DO SOMETHING NEW!

If I was going to write a Halloween movie...


After watching the remake of Halloween, I thought, if given the ability to write a Halloween flick what would I do?

Well, I would completely turn it upside down. I will give y'all the lowdown in my famous bullet point style.
  • I would erase the Busta Rhymes/Tyra Banks version. It never happened.
  • Laurie Strode would die, but by natural causes.
  • After Michael appears in Haddonfield and slaughters several people: Laurie's son from H20, Danny and the baby (who's 15 at this point) from Halloween 6, Tommy and Lindsey, from the 1st Halloween flick would finally meet. Later in film, Jamie, Laurie's daughter, would return as well (I would explain that she didn't die in Halloween 6, because it wasn't her).
  • Lindsey joins them after her son is murdered by Michael.
  • The group will try to end the horrid legacy of Michael Myers. After researching everything, including the Thorn mythos, they learn about a family curse.
  • Michael is cursed from a old family ordeal.
  • The family group travels to Santa Mira, California to learn more about the curse and the people behind it.
  • The people behind the curse have bigger plans for Michael. His murders are a part of an ancient Druid spell for complete power.
  • The group also learns that "evil folks" has Michael's soul and controls him. They are the reason why he kills.
  • Then, the real fun begins.
That's my take. Crazy, I know, but how else can you make sense of mute killer in a Captain Kirk mask?
