While I'm a longtime
Halloween fan, I'm not really sure how I feel about this. Carpenter is one of my favorite writers/directors, but he hasn't made a decent film since
Escape from L.A. Outside of his
Lost Themes albums, he's strictly been doing things for the money. Yeah, it's his job, but doing things strictly for money results in work like
The Fog remake.
Anyway, this'll be the third time Halloween has been retconned. I don't mind it. It's one of those things you get used to or overlook as a
Halloween fan. On the bright side, John will definitely bring his artistic touch back to the series.
