‘Friday the 13th’ is coming back as a TV series. It’s time for ‘Halloween’ to do the same.
The past several decades have been ruled by a few franchises in the horror genre. There have been countless films with increasingly silly and convoluted sequels about film character legends such as Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Norman Bates, and Chucky. Even Evil Dead and The Exorcist are coming back to cinemas soon. Myers has become the king of horror in the past few years thanks to David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy.
'Bates Motel' The best examples of this recent approach started in 2013 with A&E’s Bates Motel. Serving as a prequel to Alfred Hitchcock’s film Psycho about crazed Norman Bates, the series took a look at a younger Norman , with a mother who is not deceased and existing as part of his breaking psyche like in the film, but who is still very much alive. It was an intriguing approach that gave us insight into how Norman became a murderous psychopath.
'Chucky' The latest horror villain to dip his plastic toe into the TV landscape is Chucky the killer doll. Set after the events of the film Cult of Chucky, creator Don Mancini developed a whacky premise that brought back fan favorites while also growing the franchise’s world. Brad Douriff is back as the voice of Chucky and Jennifer Tilly returns with her predictably off the wall performance.
With so many big name horror franchises going the TV series route, it would be a good idea for Halloween to try this, too. They shouldn’t do it because there are no ideas for films or because everyone else is doing it, but because it can genuinely work. Halloween Ends divided fans by not being much about Michael Myers, but about evil itself and how it is personified.
