If I was picked to make another Halloween, I'd purposely sabotage it, making it the worst movie ever made, as well as the biggest box-office bomb of all time. That way, no studio would ever make another Halloween movie, which would be a good thing, since the only good Halloween movies were 1, 2, and H2O.

yeah good thinkin about tommy i think he'd be good to fill the spot of Dr loomis.
I'd send Mike overseas to some place in Europe. Or Russia or soomethin. People watching would be on Mikes side, like he was representing America. They could do a lot with that. IMO my ideas are very good.

. . .I'd probably say to end the series because Mike has gone from bad to worse to is-Moustafa-really-this-hellbent-on-ruining-this-series.

Michael will never die not unless they get Freddy or Jason to kill him and I doubt that happening any time soon.

If I could take over I would kill Busta Rhymes and that stupid bitch from Ressurection in the opening scene...then have it say one year later( so basically a new year a new halloween) I owuld have John and Molly from H20 living together and John find out that he had a sister...Jaime from Halloween 4 and 5 and learn more about Michael then the twist at the end would be that Lori survived her fall from ressurection and comes at the last 30 minutes to battle Michael...some victims could be Johns and Molly's new friends, a halloween party where michael shows up and one or two random people that got in the way and I would even kill Molly at the end just so it would be mother and son left...the ones Micael really wants and then at the end I would kill Michael for good, and then have Lori and John hug and start a new life.......the of course one year later on Halloween night guess who comes back home....and personally I would end it but I know that money whore Moustapha Akkad wouldn't do that so in the next one they can jsut have Michael stalking some new people....but all of that above is just what I would do to try to save this Series or atleast give it some dignity back....:)

Mike's had a good run they just need to end the series. If they dont he will probably die in some overly elaborate way in which there is no way he could survive. But come to find out in Halloween 10, despite the fact he was chasing everyone with a chainsaw, Michael just put his mask on an innocent bystander for no apparent reason.

Halloween 9
Basic Plot: Directly following "Halloween: Resurrection," Michael Myers, having survived an electricution and burning in the garage of the Myers' house, escapes from the hospital/morgue, and goes home, which no one dares to go near for about a year. That next year, someone goes to his house for a rematch: John Strode. John feels sad and guilty about his mother's death (from "Halloween: Resurrection"), especially since he realizes that she had held in a great burden she told no one, not even him: She had a daughter, Jamie Lloyd. She had her after "Halloween II" and feeling scared for their safety, she gave Jamie to another family, and decided to fake her own death, thus gaining a new identity and having him (John). John feels determined to stop Michael, or his Uncle, once and for all. He is not alone. He has the help of Tommy Doyle, who was tormented by Michael in the original "Halloween" as a child and confronted years later him in "Halloween (6): The Curse of Michael Myers." Since that sixth entry, he has been taking care of Jamie Lloyd's baby boy, who he named Stephen (who's now about 7 years old).
Plot Options
1) Kara Strode, the heroine from "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers" returns. She could return to help John and Tommy, but that could be too much of a "main cast." It could be a good idea to have Michael to kill her off in the beginning of the film or early on. If killed in the beginning, it could be used as an opening shock sequence to get the film revved up. This could be bring Tommy and John together to stop Michael.
2) Sara, the heroine from "Halloween: Resurrection" returns. Seeing how this possible "Halloween" entry follows "Halloween: Resurrection," the film could begin with Michael escaping from the hospital/morgue where he awakens. Now, Sara and Freddie both could be there, had they been injured enough. Michael kills Freddie, and tries to kill Sara, but she escapes, but not before injuring Michael, leaving him to go back home and heal. This also could be used as an opening shock sequence to get the film revved up. She might want to help Tommy and John in their search of Michael Myers.
3) Stephen could be taken care of by a friend of Tommy's, while Tommy and John go on stop Michael. Michael finds out where Stephen is, though, leaving Tommy and John to beat Michael to the chase.
4) Michael Myers playing mindgames with John and Tommy. Early on in the film, Michael could catch on to John and Tommy following him around or watching him, or keeping watch at the Myers' house, so he could pull some tricks on them, thus killing innocent miscelanious people. We could have John and Tommy waiting for Michael to come and when they at least expect it, he does, thus creating some suspenseful and scary moments. Heck, John and Tommy could figure out some of his tricks, and surprise him.
The "Halloween" Plotholes and corrections
Since the "Halloween: H20," the series has had plotholes that have divided it into two different directions: a) Entries 1,2,7, and 8, with Michael after his sister Laurie, and his nephew, John, and b) Entries 4, 5, and 6 With Michael after his niece, thorn symbol mythology. Here's how I intend to correct them:
1) In "Halloween: H20," Laurie Strode spills her guts out to a teacher about her past and who she really is. She neglects to mention that she had Jamie. Now, this move interprets that "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers" (as well as entries 4 and 5), didn't exist. What if Laurie felt so terribly guiltly about her neglectance of Jamie that she always kept it to herself? After all, she got rid of Jamie when she was (assumingly) just a child and now, she would never get a chance to know her. Also, this helps explain why she is so freaked out in "H20" (other than that she was scared that Michael would find her). Also, she could've forgotten to mention it, because she just realized that her son, John, on Halloween, was 17 years old (She and her late-older sister were the same age when Michael originally went after them).
2) In "Halloween: Resurrection," the insane clown guy inadverdantly informs the audience that basically, Michael disappeared between "Halloween II" and "Halloween: H20," again interpreting that "Halloween" entries 4, 5, and 6, didn't exist. What if the man in black covered up for him all that time? The man in black was the doctor from the sanitarium, and he helped Michael escape from the sanitarium in the first place, so what if through Michael's misadventures of entries 4, 5,and 6 (where the man in black is killed off), he stole any of Michael's files, so that authority figures would be unaware of Michael's where abouts? It doesn't make that much sense, but if it could help.
3) The Myers' house. In the original "Halloween," the Myer's house is kind of small, in "Halloween 5," it is a bit of a mansion, and in "Halloween: Resurrection," it is kind of small, again. This is not excusable. Different houses were used in some entries, and it is obvious. However, the series has dealt with it, so that is acceptable. On the other hand, in "Halloween: Resurrection," it is stated that no one has lived in the Myer's house since the original "Halloween." Again, another move that interprets that the entries 4, 5, and 6 don't exist! Obviously criss-crossing with "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers," one thing is for sure: it was never clear how long the "other" Strodes lived in the Myers' house. Heck, they could have lived there for a short time. Unfortunately, that cannot interpret that their short stay just passed by the Haddonfield community. The Strode kids didn't even know they lived there in the Myers' house until some other kids in the neighborhood, told them, so it's not like no one knew that people lived in the Myers' house after Michael first attacked at age 6. It could be said that their stay was short and that deaths of the parents hit the community so hard, everyone tried to forget it. This would also explain the dusty furniture in "Halloween: Resurrection": Chances are, the furniture from the "other" Strodes could've been left there, thus staying there for seven years up to "Halloween: Resurrection." And as for that room underneath the basement: That could've always been there; it was just avoided. Michael could have been there between entries 6 and 7 and 7 and 8. Again, this doesn't make that much sense, but it helps.
Now, getting these point across won't be easy. We could have a narration during the opening credits (like "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers"), or news paper clippings explaining them (like "Halloween: H20") but both of those ideas could be cliche. It might make these points throughout the film as we deal characters from the torn directions or something. Heck, Tommy might have it figured out for the audience, just as he figured out Michael's thorn symbol mythology in "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers."
Other Ideas
1) With possibly more "main characters" than before, this entry could be the entry where even they are at stake of Michael's evil. With at least John and Tommy here, I could see one of them being killed off by Michael, most likely in a deadly confrontation with him at the end. Heck, even Stephen (Jamie and Michael's kid) could help create some tense scenes, considering that Michael was trying to kill him in "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers," and most likely still would.
2) Of course, there will be miscelanious people here and there for a slaughterhouse, but there better not be too many. This "Halloween" entry should try to focus more on suspense and scares, much like the original did. Some shocking kills can be useful, even with gore, but not like a gorefest.
3) Now, I don't want it to make it seem that I'm copying off the "Voorhees-mythology" from "Jason Goes To Hell," but what if the only way kill Michael is if his own son kills him? Think about it. Michael is the boogeyman; pure evil. Essentially, Stephen is of Michael's blood, so what if only he can kill him? Could there be a way of doing this, but without it being some mystical bullshit? (this could also be interpreted that Stephen could be the next "Michael Myers," but that would be bullshit.)
Synopsis
Well, here is the framework of a possible "Halloween 9." What do you think? Have any ideas to build upon it?

Well, I sent in my Halloween 9 treatment(which had a copyright) and I havnt heard back. It wasnt solicited by any agent, so maybe they didnt even look at it, but I was pretty dissapointed when I heard they were already choosing a script. I think the fans would have really, really liked it. I tied in all the loose ends, having John return(or maybe thats why they didnt take it), Tommy return, Lindsay Wallace comes back for a big part. I also tried to have the vibe of the original Halloween, with a darker Michael (ala Halloween 6) but not being so flashy or over the top in gore. And the ending, I think, could end the series perfectly, but I guess Mr. Akkad decided against it. Anyway, here's to Halloween 9 being a success!
later
you should have wrote in a part for BustaRymes somehow and they would have took it.
or did one where Mike goes overseas to Europe and they definitely would have taken it.:p

I would some how make a "jason goes to hell" thang where they find a way tostop michael once and for all, instead of finding different ways to kill him like a human e.g electricution, fire etc. It's a bit obvious tht micky is NOT human.
So Whoever me, the award winning director, decides who will be in it they will find a way of bringing the thorn curse out of michael and maybe THEN they can kill him as a human.

Heres exactly what XCoRyX the filmmaker would do...
- Leading exactly after the events of Halloween:Resurrection,(even though it was a horrible film and sequel),have Michael in the morgue kill off the morgue nurse or whatever you'd call her.
- As opening credits roll,show news clips and articles from newspapers and such about Myers and if he is dead or alive,like in H20s opening credits sort of.Also involve the fact that Freddie and Deckard have both been missing since the day after the events of Halloween:Resurrection.
- Then,have it be a year later,possibly even 2.
- Have a new,grown older version of Lindsay Wallace,waking up and such,getting ready for work,but before she wakes up,show flashes (as in dream sequences) of her as a child from the events of the original Halloween.
- Show her at work,at the local newspaper office,as she is now a writer for the newspaper in her new home.(Not Haddonfield,she left after the events of the original Halloween).
- Also include Sara Moyer and show her now.Include later her new fiancee,and 3 girlfriends,and 1 of her girlfriends boyfriend. (for later deaths)
- Later have the newspaper sending Lindsay back to Haddonfield to report on Myers.
- Have 1 of Saras friends die at the hands of Myers,and show funeral scene.Have Sara & Lindsay meet up at the funeral,in which they get off to a bad start,when Lindsay wants to know about her friends death and talk about Myers.
and then,basically from there,throw in a few cops,kill them off,kill Saras friends and fiancee off,and a few writers/co-workers of Lindsays killed....then have Sara & Lindsay fighting off Michael in the end.

I am not saying that Jason or Freddy could kill Michael I am just saying that they will keep on making the movies until Michael finally dies And if they would put Freddy and Jason against him then who knows who would win that it could be Michael and Jason teaming against Freddy and trying to kill him who knows!
