I remember the first time I sawHalloween.
It was October and we were watching a horror movie marathon on TNT.
I was glued to the screen.
Nothing felt safe after I watched that movie.
A few years later I was in a hotel room with my dad after we had travelled somewhere.
He was passed out which meant I got to control the remote.
I foundHalloween IIplaying on some channel and learned what felt like a horrible truth: Michael hadnt died.

There are 11Halloweenfilms in total, but the universe these movies exist in isnt very cohesive.
Both movies take place in the same Halloween night and star Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode.
Fans and critics didnotlike the idea, to put it mildly.
Halloween
The rest of theHalloweenmovies feature Michael Myers and follow similar storylines to the originals.
He may have been an uncredited producer on this film.
Halloween Resurrectionis the 8th film in the franchise and was released chronologically afterH20and builds on the story developed there.

There will be a newHalloweenfilm released on October 19, 2018.
Its actually, its gonna continue the story of Michael Myers in a really grounded way.
Halloween H20
Filming was 21 days total.

John Carpenter composed the music for the first three films himself.
It took them only 10 days to write the first script.
We didnt want it to be gory.
We wanted it to be like a jack-in-the box.
