Another proposed sequel dubbed Halloween Returns would have followed the events of the original Halloween I & II and found Michael escaping from Death Row to stalk a new batch of victims.
Halloween star Jamie Lee Curtis says the new sequel is like the original in “many, many, many ways.”
The Halloween formula was already run into the ground by mediocre sequels that stuck doggedly to Carpenter’s blueprint.
While Curtis isn’t personally a big horror fan, she feels fans will be very satisfied with the new Halloween.
