John Carpenter had a wild idea for a Halloween sequel that never came to pass, but a similar concept made its way into another major horror franchise.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT John Carpenter changed the horror game with the original Halloween, but his wildest sequel idea wound up being used for another iconic horror franchise. While Carpenter largely stepped away from the Halloween franchise after 1982's Halloween III: Season of the Witch failed to jump-start his plan for an anthology series, he did, in fact, try to reacquire the rights to Michael Myers and the attached IP in the 90s.
Carpenter's proposed new direction for Halloween involved unleashing Michael Myers on a space station. A fan of the sci-fi movies of the 1950s, Carpenter believed that departing from the original formula for a Michael Myers slasher movie could be the right direction if a new Michael Myers movie was to be made.
Was Jason X's Similarities To Michael Myers In Space Just A Coincidence? While there are certainly plenty of similarities between Jason X and Carpenter's proposed plan to put Michael Myers in space for a Halloween movie, it's difficult to say definitively that the idea was just a rip-off of his concept.
