Halloween (2018) director David Gordon Green reveals the "haunting" death he had to put in the movie. Halloween has proven to be another huge horror hit for Blumhouse and has successfully resurrected the dormant franchise. The latest entry untangled the series’ continuity by ignoring all previous sequels and acting as a direct follow-up to the 1978 original. The story finds Michael Myers once again escaping from an asylum and going on a Halloween rampage in Haddonfield. Laurie Strode - the traumatized survivor of his last massacre - waits for his return so she can finally kill him.
Green was a big fan of the original Halloween and made sure to bring back both Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode and series creator John Carpenter, who acted as composer and executive producer. The movie received strong reviews for Curtis’ performance, the fantastic score and for making Myers scary again. While Green sought to return to the slow burn suspense of the original, the new sequel featured plenty of gory deaths too.

A Halloween sequel is all but a given at this stage, though Curtis recently revealed she hasn’t been contacted about one just yet. With Halloween about to come out on home release, Bloody Disgusting has posted a clip from one of the bonus features. This snippet includes Green talking about Oscar’s bloody demise, and how that particular death is something that "haunted" him for over 15 years and he had to include it.
Halloween includes a number of creative deaths, with Oscar’s impalement being one of the more memorable. One moment that got fans talking is when Michael spares the life of a baby during his rampage through a neighbourhood, which Green felt was a decision that only adds to his mystique. The movie was originally intended to open with a recreation of the ending of Halloween, where Michael kills Dr. Loomis and it’s actually Laurie who shoots him out of the window. Carpenter objected to this scene so it wasn't shot.
The success of Halloween is also leading to a revival of other slasher icons. Jordan Peele is set to produce a Candyman sequel, while LeBron James is in talks to produce a Friday The 13th reboot. While there’s no word on A Nightmare On Elm Street revival, Freddy Krueger star Robert Englund recently got fans excited by stating he may have "one more" movie left in him,
