Every Halloween Movie (They Never Actually Made)
2. Halloween Returns
Ignoring everything other than the first two movies, Halloween Returns went back to the idea of Michael Myers on death row, making Gary Hunt and his family the focal point of the story. Apparently described specifically as a 'recalibration of the franchise' rather than just... a reboot, this one went a bit off the rails when it came to the realism of the Halloween legacy.
The sticking point for producer Malek Akkad was the filming location in the end: "That one came down to the studio wanting me to shoot in Serbia, believe it or not, and I refused to shoot in Serbia... It just wouldn't work as Haddonfield." That seems like a fair enough comment, really.
