I do this every so often when HALLOWEEN comes around the corner. I watched all 8 films and some other goodies like the PHANTASM series, SUSPIRIA, INFERNO, TENEBRE, DAWN of the DEAD, DAY of the DEAD, Evil Dead Trilogy, and many more…and I still have that urge to put the words down in writing lingers.
I simply called it “HALLOWEEN 9: THE MASK OF MICHAEL MYERS”…before RESURRECTION & H20, it was HALLOWEEN 7 and HALLOWEEN 8: with the same subtitle. The story involves the following characters of Tommy Doyle, Kara and Danny Strode, and young Stephen (Jamie Lloyd’s son) now as a family living in a new town far away from the dark and bloody memories of Haddonfield. At first, with the mind of a novice screenwriter (at age 12 of course), it started as a half-remake, half-reboot with the primary events: BABYSITTERS, The killings happening across the street, and a Loomis coming to the rescue. Then it would go on to a next chapter for the next film (ala HALLOWEEN II) at the same night, but happening in what was suppose to be the safest place in town.
Over the course of middle to High school, I bought and read a lot of Screenwriting books and internet blogs and webpages of the Do’s and What-nots on writing. Soon by the end of high school, Resurrection was on my DVD shelf and Halloween 9 was now the title of the story. But the news of the remake by Rob Zombie blew my hopes to sky-high and HALLOWEEN 9 was dead in the water. But not in script form…
Instead of tossing in the towel, I thought if the series would pick up where it left off, it should start out where I last left it at…HALLOWEEN 2005. So from then on, I kept rewriting and revising the story over and over. I kept the main characters the same, but the supporting characters were always changing. And soon enough, I found a narrative flow with the last draft I written back in 2010 and now I’m starting again because HALLOWEEN 9 got me to horn my screenwriting skills with other projects and its so good to revive my inspiration from the story that started it all. I’m sure most fellow Halloween fan-writers on this forum would know what I mean. 
Anywho, after taking two screenwriting classes and penning down some changers and additions, its almost HALLOWEEN again, and now I thought it was time to revive the story once more.
But I wanted to ask, has anyone ever written a HALLOWEEN sequel script or stand-alone story and still go back to writing it when you need to recharge your creative batteries?
