The Requel That Saved a Franchise: The Full Story of Halloween (2018)

Описание: After a decade of failed pitches and creative dead ends, the Halloween franchise was nearly buried for good. Then came a bold idea: erase everything after the 1978 original. This is the deep dive into Halloween (2018), the requel that brought Michael Myers and Laurie Strode back for one final, epic confrontation.

Join us as we unpack the film's incredible journey, from the unmade sequels (including a found-footage version!) to the triumphant return of John Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis. We'll explore the filmmakers' decision to ignore the sibling connection, focusing instead on Laurie's 40-year battle with PTSD and her transformation into a hardened survivor.

Discover the behind-the-scenes details, the record-breaking box office success, and how this film not only revitalized a beloved horror series but also created the blueprint for the modern "requel."
