I would absolutely hate that, so let's hope not.

Yawn.

Say what you will about the Nightmare and F13th series, but at least they started trying different things as they aged... Big city, 3D, Space, Meta.

Save for 1982's Halloween 3 -- which was universally hated for the better part of 15 years -- we've seen the same damn Halloween movie what, a dozen times over 40 years?

The story hasn't even started to become stale and monotonous -- it really hasn't changed significantly since the first movie... It's been stale and monotonous since Halloween 1 took Michael from homes in a neighborhood to rooms in a hospital. First it was Donald Pleasance just cashing paychecks, now its Jamie Lee.

It's so damn stale that many have now retroactively started praising Halloween 3 for being "different"... Don't be fooled, Halloween 3 is a **** made-for-TV level movie... but because Halloween 1,2,4-50 are so damn cookie cutter anything different became worthy of praise.

Stop giving this **** series money.

Don't believe it

Or, don't go see them.

I will continue to enjoy it.

I mean, it comes from a place of loving the genre. I can watch bad horror movies all day long. The Halloween series has just been completely uninspired despite what now 2 complete reboots with chances to write an intriguing backstory?

Take Nightmare on Elm Street 6... That is a BAD movie. A real bad movie. But it's inspired. And we'll throw some 3D in at the end!

Jason Takes Manhattan (by far the worst of the F13th movies) spends 70% of the movie not actually being in Manhattan but instead on a cruise ship. But at least when he gets to Manhattan it has some... different... inspiring moments.

Hellraiser is often times an incoherent mess -- but it's a creatively bloody incoherent mess.

Halloween has had basically the same vanilla plot in every movie. Carpenter's film is an all-time great (though as I've mentioned before, not even his best movie), but it's great because he took what the slasher had done previously (Black Christmas most notably) and refined every aspect of it from the colors, the music, the dialogue, everything. But every Myers movie since then has been the exact same plot - Michael is back, silent and on a quest to kill [insert female relative here].

Yes I know I'm getting Simpsons-comic-book-guy-esque, but Pluto TV recently had somewhat of a marathon of both the F13th and Halloween movies and I realized that despite being pretty bare-bones as far as story goes, the Jason movies are extremely creative in their setups and kills. The most creative Halloween ever got was Busta Rhymes hosting a reality TV show where -- get this -- Michael Myers stalks around a house killing people!

So you say you want people to stop giving them money, yet it seems very much like you watched all the movies?

You should do what I do for things you don't care for and don't watch.

I never bothered with the Rob Zombie Halloween movies, and I am a massive fan of this series. But I simply am not interested in that version of the character.

I enjoy the new Halloweens but totally forget about them as soon as the end credits pop up. The original Halloween is the only one in my canon. (Halloween 3's great as well).
