Nigel Kneale, a British science fiction author, was hired to pen the script. They were all convinced of the genius of their idea, and set about making it a reality. At the time of Halloween III, however, audiences were apparently just not ready.īut Carpenter and company didn't know that yet. Many years later, Ryan Murphy would be applauded for doing something similar with his American Horror Story series. Here was the chance to do something with a horror franchise that no other series was even attempting at the time. Creatively speaking, this is a brilliant idea. It would be like a TV anthology on the big screen. Instead, they would plan to release a new film every year on Halloween that would tell a completely different story in the spirit of the season. No more Michael Myers, no more teens being stalked in the shadows.
They would move away from the established timeline of the franchise and tell a completely different story set at Halloween. When it came time to make the inevitable Halloween III, Carpenter and Hill hit upon what they thought was a brilliant idea. The filmmaker didn't even want a sequel to begin with, but the promise of more money swayed him. Already, Carpenter was showing signs of fatigue regarding his hit creation. John Carpenter and Debra Hill, the writers of the film film, penned the script, which is set only minutes after the previous film ends. The surprise success of the film inspired a sequel, Halloween II.
That breathing is everywhere, signaling that Michael Myers could be anywhere – anywhere at all. The first Halloween ends on a terrifying note: after being shot multiple times, Michael vanishes, but we still hear his heavy breathing behind his mask. No longer resigned to the stuff of nightmares and children's closets, he was now out in the real world, and seemingly nothing would stop him. With his white, featureless mask and his cold, unrelenting determination to kill, Michael Myers made the boogeyman into something real. A suburban Halloween is turned upside down when the silent, nearly inhuman murderer Michael Myers returns to his hometown and begins killing off innocent young teens, one by one. A slasher movie ahead of its time, back before general audiences even knew what a slasher movie was. Misleading Title: Despite being titled Season of the Witch, there are no witches in the film.Carpenter's 1978 Halloween was lean and mean.Depending on your view, the Silver Shamrock song can get annoying.The movie hasn’t gotten a lot of well-received praise as many criticized for lacking Michael Myers and differing from the other films in the Halloween franchise.Excellent character and story development.The commercial jingle for The Silver Shamrock Company is surprisingly catchy.
