John Carpenter is onboard as an executive producer, while Danny McBride is co-writing the script with David Gordon Green.
So it only feels fitting then that Halloween, one of the most iconic films of the genre, is gearing up for a comeback.
It might seem a little odd that a comedian like McBride is writing a horror film, but McBride is a longtime horror buff and recently revealed some of his all-time favorite scary movies.
The horror movie explosion is not slowing down, as the genre has continued to produce more and more films that kill at the box office while getting great reviews.
