Earlier in the year, Danny McBride, who co-wrote this weekend’s Halloween with director David Gordon Green and Jeff Fredley, revealed that the original idea had been to write two films and have them shot back-to-back. Eventually, the decision was made to just write the one film. Now, in an interview with Bloody Disgusting, producer Malek Akkad gave further explanation as to why the decision was made to just film one story.

“I actually forgot about that. Yes, there was and it was a bit crazy. We didn’t have a script. David [Gordon Green] and his teams, we all could have done it but the idea was let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s see the audience appetite. Let’s see how we all work together. In terms of Trancas’s point of view, we went from having one distributor and now technically three. We have Miramax, Blumhouse and Universal. For everybody involved in this film it’s been a growing process. I think it probably would have been too ambitious to do and that’s I think where we ended up on it. To be completely frank, I forgot about that until right now. It’s been quite a year.”

Personally, and I say this as a fan of the original film as well as a fan of the Laurie Strode and Michael Myers characters, I do not need a sequel. This film ends just right for me. It brings the Strode/Myers characters full circle and gives it a perfect ending. Let us not make the same mistake of following up Halloween H20‘s triumphant ending with the horrifically bad Halloween: Resurrection. Moreover, it’s rumored that neither McBride nor Green will be returning for a sequel. With that said, let me make this perfectly clear: leave it be. End it on top. Don’t follow the trend of making cheap, bad sequels that never live up to the previous chapter. For God’s sake, let Laurie get her revenge and keep it this time.
