I would have preferred a direct sequel to Halloween 4
But they would never do that. I'm just tired of the Laurie Strode thing.
shareWasn't Halloween 5 a direct sequel to Halloween 4?

Personally I've would've continued after 5 so it could be a Jamie Lloyd/Laurie Strode focused sequel. It was weird that they ignored all the sequels but ripped off ideas from those same sequels that they ignored.
shareI can't think of a bigger insult to all who worked on the sequels that were ignored lol ..like 'hey you're moves were so fuckin CRAP they literally dont exist now' (only they do lol) also see Terminator 3/4/5, and almost Alien 3/4
shareI'm reading the book 'Taking Shape' at present which is a collection of information about proposed scripts, deleted scenes, novelizations etc across the whole series.
It *was* sad when H20 ignored everything, although there was a scene planned to link it to the previous films. I'm still on that chapter, but H6 was definitely screwed over by the Weinsteins weighing in and changing everything. Even the Producer's Cut threw a lot of the writer's vision under the bus.
I think it was done for continuity's sake rather than anything.
Movies that have a lot of sequels often have quite bad continuity, especially if they've had a lot of different writers involved. These days, every small inconsistency gets jumped on by internet dweebs going; "Waaaah! Plot hole."
If you make a direct sequel to the first one, you're not burdened by several movies with of plot.
