Surprised there isn’t a movie titled Michael Myers


I’m surprised there isn’t a Halloween movie already titled simply “Michael Myers.” Seems like something Hollywood would actually do to reboot the franchise or make it seem like the definitive Myers Halloween movie.

Halloween 2018 probably should have been called that. Now we have Halloween 1978 Halloween 2007 RZ and Halloween 2018.

I'd rather call Halloween 2018, Halloween H40 or Halloween Returns

reply

I call it Halloween the 13th, because it's more of an F13 movie than it is a Halloween movie.

reply

Being that you had Halloween, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends, maybe calling the 2018 one something like Hallowen Reborn or Halloween Contiues, or something like that would've been more apt.

I guess maybe calling it Halloween references back to the first one more, so they thought that would be better at bringing in new or younger fans.

They could call it "HALLOWEEN RECYCLED"

That will be the name of the 2025 reboot.

Hundred bucks says there will be a tv series about young Michael Myers within the next few years.

reply

At some streaming service, if I may add.

reply

Yes, another one of these six-episode tv series that should have been a 90 minute movie.

"The Night HE Came Home" would be a good one.

It would be a silly title. Thats also why there is no movie called Freddy Kruger or Jason Voorhees. Texas Chainsaw did it with Leatherface and it was a disaster

reply

Michael Myers suggests a person. This is not a man.

There was "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers" in 1988 and ", Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers" in 1989, "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers" in 1995. I realize that they aren't simply titled "Michael Myers", but I think his name has been used quite a bit already.

Besides, for me, the definitive film is the first one. All the rest , save possibly the first sequel, are basically returns to the well.
