Every Halloween Movie (They Never Actually Made)
16. Helloween: Pinhead Vs. Michael Myers
Introducing the infamous Pinhead from Clive Barker's Hellraiser, there was talk of a movie crossing over the staple franchises in an absolutely batsh*t manner, incorporating the two big bads into a world where they'd fight it out respectably via their demonic powers.
David Parker explained the pitch in detail in Fangoria: "So, the story takes place when people try to destroy the Myers house and they find the box hidden between the walls. Of course, they open it and Pinhead shows up, and it's Halloween and it's the Myers house, so Michael shows up because there are people there and Pinhead recognizes that Michael is Samhain because he can feel it—which begins this whole battle in the real world. And of course, the third act takes them all to hell."
It's strange that this one never made it to light in a world of crossovers and horror monster showdowns, especially considering the attention paid to linking Pinhead into the Halloween lore, but there's time yet.
