The 1978 Halloween inspired many slasher films, including many Halloween reboots.
Rob Zombie then directed two films set after the first film and this year a new Halloween reboot is set to hit theaters.
The company asked director Jon Chu to make the next film as both a reboot and a sequel.
That lead to a Michael Bay-produced remake and sequel before those were also ignored by 2013’s Texas Chainsaw 3D, which only recognized the 1974 original.
