Legendary filmmaker and composer John Carpenter wants to write the score for Blumhouse Productions’ planned sequel to his classic 1978 horror movie Halloween.
The movie, according to co-writer Danny McBride, will follow from the events of Halloween II, ignoring all subsequent Halloween series films. Carpenter’s original Halloween was a groundbreaking film in 1978, practically single-handedly writing the rules for all slasher movies to come.
The Halloween theme song would become one of the most recognizable pieces of movie music ever and Carpenter would go on to personally score nearly all of his subsequent films.
Green also says that Carpenter has read the movie’s script, has given notes on it and “digs it.”
