Dimension Loses 'Halloween' Rights

Well, it seems that rather than making a new Halloween film, Dimension Films, the guardians of Michael Myers for the past twenty years, have been stripped of their power.

The Wrap reports that Dimension Films is no longer in the Michael Myers business and that Marcus Dunston and Patrick Melton are no longer involved in the production of the presumably dead-in-the-water Halloween Returns.

Returns would have reportedly either taken place following Halloween II (not Rob Zombie’s) or found Myers on death row. Or both! But now neither. I can’t say I’m too broken up about it.

Under Dimension’s reins, the Halloween films were very hit-or-miss, with the hits meaning not completely terrible and the misses being Halloween: Resurrection. Perhaps, it’s for the best now that little Mikey Myers finds a new home to play in.
