Subject: Jamie Lee Curtis returning for Carpenter/Blumhouse Halloween

Well, kiddo. I thought you outgrew superstition?

She came home.

Last year, it was announced that Blumhouse was developing a "reset button" Halloween movie with executive producer and creative consultant John Carpenter returning for the first time since Halloween III. Now, Jamie Lee Curtis is returning to the role that made her famous. October 19, 2018 release date has been confirmed. Distributed by Universal, for the first time since Halloween II and III.

This is so exciting. Carpenter, Curtis, the classic Shape, and an October release date. A horror fan's wet dream.

I'm a huge fan! I've seen all 10 of the films. The 11th sounds good!  ;D

YES! I'm glad that this is happening and I can't wait to see this "Halloween" reboot 40 years later.

JLC rocks! 8)

I have most definitely seen the original Halloween (1978)...it's a classic.

I haven't seen Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998). However, I most certainly can watch it someday...I heard that it has mixed reviews though.

It was always going to be hard for Halloween to have another film that's better than the original. The first film was 'perfect' and kick-started the slasher series' popularity in the 1980's. Also, the horror genre has a hard time replicating an original film's quality.  ;D

I definitely agree with you.

It will be really interesting to see what they do with this, considering Laurie was supposed to have died in the last movie of the original series. I wonder what a "reset" series with a middle-age Laurie will be like...  ::)

This is supposed to be the final Halloween movie...and the events of Resurrection don't matter. Halloween (2018) is both a sequel and reboot. It's a sequel to Halloween II (1981) and a reboot of the entire franchise (just completely forget all the Halloween films made after 1981's Halloween II).

It's a weird and tricky thing that they're doing but hey...Jamie Lee Curtis (aka Laurie) is back! :D

I suppose they can just retcon the hell out of the whole series. No biggie.  :D
