Every Halloween Movie (They Never Actually Made)
12. Halloween VIII Concepts
Many ideas were floated before the team eventually settled on Resurrection, with one of the earliest versions seeing Michael seemingly returned to wreak havoc on the townsfolk before taking off the mask to reveal a psychopathic Laurie Strode hiding underneath. This would be intercut with a prequel storyline that looks into Myers's time at the psychiatric hospital he spent most of his life in.
Others went by various titles, such as H2K, Hall8ween, and good old fashioned Halloween 8, with Robert Zappia's idea beginning as Michael is imprisoned.
He then "gets loose, breaks into the evidence room and collects his things, then goes about murdering the witnesses (survivors from past films) who have gathered in the town to testify (starting with Laurie Strode and John Tate). I thought it would be a fun way to have actors from past films back together again."
