We're very happy to announce that today a deal-memo was struck for Rick Rosenthal to direct HALLOWEEN 8. Fans of HALLOWEEN II will be happy to see him return to the series. Welcome back Rick!

Producer Paul Freeman spent much of this week location scouting in Vancouver. No director has been contracted on the project as of yet. Finally, casting call-backs begin on Monday. On a side note, it was revealed today that HALLOWEEN 4 director Dwight Little was approached to direct the new film, but turned it down.
March 7, 2001
First off, Whitney Ransick, who was previously reported as helming HALLOWEEN 8, is no longer involved in the film. Now, time for some HALLOWEEN trivia. No director in the history of HALLOWEEN films has ever returned to direct for a second time. But all that may change soon. Reports indicate that HALLOWEEN II director Rick Rosenthal is being considered as a replacement for Ransick in the director's chair. As casting for the film gears up, Tyra Banks, who's appeared in THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR and the film HIGHER LEARNING, is being considered for a role. Keep checking back for more information as HALLOWEEN 8 becomes a reality!

Rumors have been running rampant over the internet about the title of the next HALLOWEEN film. The producers tell us that the title of the next film will not be HALLOWEEN 8: MICHAEL MYERS.COM. That is the working title only. The film will have a different title by the time it's finished.
Also, last week Jamie Lee Curtis was interviewed on Entertainment Tonight, and after the segment, Jan Carl confirmed that Jamie Lee will be making a cameo appearance in the next HALLOWEEN.

At long last, new details on the next HALLOWEEN installment! CURRENTLY, as previously reported, Larry Brand has penned the script. Whitney Ransick, known for his work on television on shows like ER, CRACKER, and SHOCK TELEVISION, is attached to direct HALLOWEEN 8. Principle photography is set to begin in April, 2001, in Vancouver, Canada.

We realize that it's been pretty quiet on the HALLOWEEN 8 front. The pre-production phase tends to be that way. But, we do have this small piece of news for everyone, from the office of the producers. They confirm that there will be a HALLOWEEN 8 in theaters in 2001! When we're fed more information on any developments, we'll pass it along to everyone else.

Some more info from Moustapha Akkad's office! Shooting is tentatively scheduled to begin filming in Spring 2001, with a fall 2001 release. Also, it looks like filming may take place in Salt Lake City. Finally, Jamie Lee Curtis is contractually obliged to do at least a cameo, but not the entire film. Will she return or will her lawyers find a loophole?
August 15, 2000
Moustapha Akkad's office has finally released the name of the screenwriter for the next installment. Larry Brand will bring Michael Myers to life one more time. His writing credits include MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH in 1989 and 1998's PARANOIA. Shooting is planned to begin this spring. There may be a very special event in the works for HALLOWEEN fans on the internet, but only time will tell if plans will flesh out. HALLOWEENMOVIES.COM will, of course, keep you up to date on the latest news on HALLOWEEN 8 as soon as it is available.

Moustapha Akkad's office reports that it is looking like HALLOWEEN H2K will not happen this year. The main reason behind the delay is "legal mumbo jumbo," which has plagued the series for many years. "Reassure fans that there will be another HALLOWEEN. Besides, there are a lot of people who feel that 2001 is when the real millennium begins..."
October 5, 1999
H2K is slowly beginning to take shape. Moustapha Akkad's office reports that they are currently reading through several different submissions for the script. It is a long, drawn out process since the script is the basic building block of the film.
August 7, 1999
Paul Freeman, producer of several films in the HALLOWEEN series, has announced the current working title for the next installment in the series is HALLOWEEN H2K - EVIL NEVER DIES. Several writers are currently working on scripting the new movie, which will most likely feature a return to Haddonfield in the storyline. The HALLOWEEN 8 fan feedback that this website recently collected played, and will continue to play, a large role in the shaping of this new movie. The movie will most likely be shot in Salt Lake City, home of previous sequels. HALLOWEEN H2K, distributed by Dimension Films, is targeted for a Fall, 2000 release.
June 30, 1999
Michael's coming back again - or is he? The HALLOWEEN film series is considering making the next installment a Shape-less film, removing Michael Myers from the storyline, much like HALLOWEEN III SEASON OF THE WITCH. This website collected fan feedback, which will influence the decision. Thanks to the thousands of you that submitted your feelings on the matter - which was overall to bring Michael Myers back!
