To the uninitiated, the "Halloween" franchise is just a slasher series. If you've seen one, you've seen them all. A masked maniac with a big knife wandering around different settings, cutting down anyone unfortunate enough to get in their way. Sure, while that might be true for John Carpenter's classic original, the series would grow increasingly odd and incredulous as the years went on.
As of this writing, there are four different "Halloween" timelines featuring Michael Myers. It starts with the original timeline, including the orignal "Halloween" from 1978, its sequel "Halloween II," the legacy sequel "Halloween H20," and "Halloween: Resurrection." Then, of course, is the colloquial Cult of Thorn timeline, which also includes those first two movies, followed by then "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers," "Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers," and "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers.

You didn’t really think Halloween Ends would be the end of the Halloween franchise, did you? That movie may have brought an end to one version of Michael Myers, but the filmmakers can always go back to an earlier iteration – or create a whole new one. Last October, we learned that Halloween will continue with a TV series that Miramax is developing with the company they share the rights to the franchise with, Malek Akkad’s Trancas International Films. Now Miramax’s Marc Helwig has given Deadline an update on the project, revealing that it’s a “creative reset” that takes the franchise back to the original film, John Carpenter’s 1978 classic.
Helwig said the Halloween TV series is “on a fast track, it’s a big priority for us. We’ve had lots of exciting conversations in recent months with a number of really talented people, and I...

We had learned this past October that Miramax landed the TV rights to the Halloween franchise, joining forces with Malek Akkad’s Trancas International Films to bring Michael Myers to the small screen. Miramax will be developing and co-producing the Halloween saga’s first ever TV series, and Miramax head Marc Helwig provides an update to Deadline this week.
What can we expect from the Halloween TV series, you ask? For starters, don’t expect any kind of continuation to the storyline from David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy.
“The foundation of it is the original film, the John Carpenter movie, the characters of that film, and perhaps a group of characters that we haven’t really focused on that much in recent film versions or even in a number of them,” Helwig teases.
“It’s a creative reset completely and going back to the original film, as opposed to...

Halloween Ends may have killed iconic slasher Michael Myers off on the big screen, but there’s really no stopping a successful horror franchise. Last October, Malek Akkad’s Trancas International Films secured a deal with Miramax Television to develop and co-produce a Halloween TV series… and one person who would be interested in working on the show is Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers director Dwight H. Little, who has racked up a lot of TV experience since his days of working on Halloween 4. There’s also another Halloween project Little would like to work on and has even pitched: a direct sequel to Halloween 4 that would see the return of Danielle Harris and Ellie Cornell as Jamie and her foster sister Rachel!

Despite what Anthony Michael Hall's Tommy Doyle wants you to believe, evil doesn't always die tonight. Most times, it lives to be rebooted over and over again.
After forever changing the horror landscape and delivering a rather inconsistent series of movies, "Halloween" returned once again in 2018. David Gordon Green rebooted the franchise with the awkwardly titled "Halloween" and its sequels, which promised to deliver the ultimate, final confrontation between Michael Myers and Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode. Green's reboot trilogy followed an older Laurie, who struggles to cope with the trauma of the horrific attack she experienced 40 years prior at the hands of the silent masked killer Michael, as well as the toll it took on her family. The trilogy also explored the impact Michael has on the larger Haddonfield community upon his return (prompting them to seek mob justice), in addition to the notion of an heir to Michael's evil.

While you might think that Michael Myers is taking a well-earned break after the latest trilogy of movies whipped up by David Gordon Green, Miramax has other ideas. The company has struck a new deal with Malek Akkad's Trancas International Films, which controls the TV rights to :a[Halloween]{href='https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/halloween-review/' }. Which means that we can expect to see Myers (and potentially a version of Laurie Strode) on small screens in the future.
And that's not all – while Miramax’s Head of Global TV Marc Helwig has made an agreement for a new series based on John Carpenter's iconic horror movie, there is certainly scope for it to expand out to a film deal that would signal – you guessed it – the launch of a new cinematic universe, with a brand new take on the characters.

The Halloween franchise was dead in the water before Jamie Lee Curtis returned to take on Michael Myers one last time.
What should have been a standalone movie was dragged, kicking and screaming, into a trilogy that did the franchise more harm than good.
There, we said it.
The 2018 Halloween movie would have been looked back on more fondly if it had brought those storylines to a close.
The sequels were unnecessary and only served to make money. Quality be damned.
You can only imagine my surprise when Deadline reported Thursday that Miramax had won a "heated bidding war" for the television rights to the iconic franchise.
It's hard to believe that anyone's asking for this, more so after Halloween Ends brought Laurie Strode's story to a conclusion with a whimper.

Miramax has prevailed in the bidding war for television rights to the “Halloween” horror franchise, meaning Michael Myers could soon be slicing and dicing his way across the small screen or assorted streaming platforms. The indie studio beat out other contenders, including A24, which was also in the mix for the rights, according to an insider with knowledge.
The auction was held by Malek Akkad’s Trancas International Films, which controls the franchise’s TV rights. It makes sense that Miramax would move aggressively to nab the option to make a television off-shoot, as the company shares ownership of the film rights with Trancas. Plus, the horror franchise has been very lucrative for Miramax, which also co-produces the “Scream” movies.
The deal comes a week after Miramax CEO Bill Block was canned from the company’s top post after overseeing a lackluster run of films such as “Confess, Fletch” and “He’s All That.

Michael Myers is poised to make his return once again — on the small screen this time. Following a couple of weeks of behind-the-scenes bidding, Miramax has landed the TV rights to the "Halloween" franchise. The studio is now partnering with Malek Akkad's Trancas International Films on a TV show set within the universe that started with John Carpenter's 1978 timeless horror classic. But that's not all! It sounds like Miramax and Trancas are hatching an entire shared universe worth of stories.
According to Deadline, Miramax won the "Halloween" TV rights in what was described as a "heated" bidding war. A24, the studio behind hits like "Everything Everywhere All at Once," and Blumhouse, which produced director David Gordon Green's recent blockbuster "Halloween" movie trilogy, were also said to be in the running. Financial terms were not disclosed but Miramax, which has long partnered with Trancas on the films, came out on top.

A couple weeks ago, we heard that Malek Akkad’s Trancas International Films was shopping the TV rights to the Halloween franchise around Hollywood, looking to get a TV series set up. Trancas is the sole owner of the franchise’s television rights, while Miramax co-owns the film rights with them – and at the time, Miramax was in a bidding war with A24 (which already has a Friday the 13th series called Crystal Lake in development) over the rights to make the show. Now Deadline reports that Miramax has come out the winner of that bidding war, with Miramax Television securing “a wide-ranging deal with Trancas to develop and co-produce a Halloween TV series, which also includes a first-look agreement on other television projects for the international marketplace.”
Deadline goes on to say that the Halloween TV series is “envisioned to potentially launch a cinematic universe spanning film and television.

Billed as the Final battle – really, this time! – between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers, Halloween Ends wrapped up not only Gordon Green’s sequel trilogy but also Universal and Blumhouse’s time with the iconic horror franchise.
The sequel trilogy was produced by Blumhouse Productions and released into theaters by Universal Pictures as part of a pact with Miramax from a deal with Malek Akkad’s Trancas International Films, and it looks like the ball is now back in the court of the Akkad family.

After two movies focusing on the murder spree of Michael Myers, Halloween III: Season of the Witch transformed the franchise into an anthology series and dared to tell a story without Haddonfield’s masked killer. Season of the Witch received poor reviews at the time, particularly from fans who wanted to see the story of Michael Myers continue, but the movie has gone on to grow its own cult following who appreciate its place in the franchise. David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy paid tribute to Season of the Witch, but Halloween Ends came close to providing a big link between the two movies… by making Michael Myers’ mask part of the Silver Shamrock line.

“I think evil doesn’t die, it changes shape,” Green told IndieWire. “And that can become something to really think about, the negativity that you could be greeted with at some moment in your day. If you want to take that and dwell on that and exacerbate that and then hand that off to the next person, you can. It can be as infectious as you want it to be or you allow it to be.

"Halloween Ends" spoilers below.
Reactions are starting to trickle in for "Halloween Ends," the trilogy capper to one of the most successful resets in horror history. So far, it appears that fans and critics are markedly mixed about the peculiar direction that the third entry takes. To be sure, it's a bold move by David Gordon Green, Danny McBride, and the rest of the writing team and, wherever the final analysis lands, they all took a big swing with the storyline they chose to run with. On the surface, "Halloween Ends" features all the elements you need for an effective "Halloween" movie: Jamie Lee Curtis is back as Laurie Strode, it's set during Halloween, and there's a gleaming, bloody butcher knife in almost every shot.
The large, looming omission in the culmination of the Strode family story is the franchise's main catalyst -- the actual boogeyman -- who is maddeningly...

The ruling maxim of John Carpenter's game-changing slasher masterpiece "Halloween" is "Everyone's entitled to one good scare," but the original Michael Myers survivor will have as many as she pleases.
David Gordon Green's "Halloween" revival trilogy is reaching its terminus with this year's final entry, "Halloween Ends," releasing wide October 14. It's the thirteenth installment of the "Halloween" franchise and the seventh to feature Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her role as Laurie Strode, ever-battling the masked psychopath Michael Myers. Still, Curtis won't say no to further exploration of her character.
The "Knives Out" star had previously sworn off the franchise after serving her term from 1978 to "Halloween: Resurrection" in 2001, when her Laurie was killed off in the most insulting termination of a legacy character the genre would see until "Texas Chainsaw Massacre." Speaking to SFX Magazine, Curtis describes the person that convinced her to return: her godson, "Ambulance" star Jake Gyllenhaal.

Paul Rudd is one of Hollywood's biggest stars, and while fans may know him as Josh from the 1995 teen comedy film "Clueless," superhero Ant-Man from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or even as Phoebe's husband from the sitcom "Friends," I first saw the actor in "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers," one of his earliest roles. Funny enough, that was the first "Halloween" movie I saw, so for a while I regarded Rudd as the original Tommy Doyle; of course, that distinction goes to Brian Andrews, who played the little boy Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) babysits and protects from Michael Myers in John Carpenter's 1978 original. But whenever I saw Rudd pop up on TV, I'd yell, "Aye, that's Tommy Doyle!"
The role, however, is just a footnote in the career of People magazine's 2021 "Sexiest Man Alive." Not long ago, some of my friends considered my revelation that Ant-Man once...

Universal Pictures’ upcoming horror title Halloween Ends, hitting theaters Oct. 14, released its final trailer Tuesday.
The footage sees Laurie Strode, the signature character played by Jamie Lee Curtis in the 45-year horror franchise, seek bloody revenge in a final battle with the maniacal Mike Myers that might leave only one of them standing.
“He killed my daughter. But tonight, I will kill him,” Strode, horror’s first “final girl” and the role that launched Curtis’ career, says at one point in the trailer.

“When you scream, you scream louder when people are near you. When you feel something, you feel deeper when other people are right next to you,” Curtis said. “You don’t get that experience with movies in your living room. You get it in movie theaters.”
Flash-forward to Aug. 23 when Curtis made the surprise announcement on social media that Halloween Ends will open simultaneously in theaters and on Peacock on Oct. 14.

Laurie Strode's last stand will play out on Peacock the same day it hits theaters.
Universal Pictures, Miramax, and Blumhouse’s Halloween Ends, the final installment of the most acclaimed, revered horror franchise in film history, will debut as Peacock’s Halloween movie event Friday, October 14, day-and-date of its theatrical release.
The move follows in the footsteps of Halloween Kills, which launched on Peacock and in theaters on the same date in 2021.
Granted, that move was in response to Covid-19, but the flick went on to generate a decent amount of money at the box office.
It was significantly lower than its predecessor, but it likely helped boost Peacock subscribers.

In a surprise move, Universal is sending Halloween Ends day-and-date to theaters and to its streaming service, Peacock. The previous film in the series, 2021’s Halloween Kills, also debuted the same day on Peacock.
The film launches Oct. 14, and it will be available to stream to those who have a paid subscription to Peacock Premium or Premium Plus. The free, ad-supported version will not carry the film. It remains to be seen how cinema owners — who historically don’t like to play a film that’s also available in the home — will react. During the height of the pandemic, attitudes were different, but that was before the box office recovery.

The only thing you need to know about the first trailer for “Halloween Ends” is that it begins in typical slasher movie style as the camera follows series baddie Michael Myers. Breaking into a house and clearly planning to do more murders, he’s taken by surprise when on the other side of a bedroom door waits O.G. final girl Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), revolver in hand and ready to blast him.
Really, that’s it. If you’re not already sold, call the coroner because you’re probably dead.
Billed as the terrifying conclusion to the horror franchise, the film promises “a final confrontation unlike any captured onscreen before” as Laurie and Michael fight to the death.
