Jason Blum is considering remaking Halloween 3

I was watching John Carpenter & Sandy Johnson Panel at Steel City Con. John mentioned Jason Blum remaking H3. I was like wow. That is interesting. I hope it happens!! :rock:

I was trying to think of a good comment, but all
I’m able to come up with is, “Ugh!”. :laughing:

But I’m just an old man purist lol. Who knows, though, maybe it can be good!

Yeah, I’ve heard rumblings of this before. Apparently a few months ago, he was doing a sort of Q&A, and one question was if he would ever consider remaking H3, and he didn’t deny it, and basically said something along the lines of “we’ll have more to say on that in the future”, which was really interesting. Personally, if I’m being brutally honest, I have not been a fan of this new Halloween trilogy he’s made, so I’m not sure how I feel about him potentially doing an H3 remake. I like H3, and feel that it has that distinctive dark, gritty John Carpenter 80’s synth vibe that would be lost in a new remake because it would be too “polished”. Also, good luck finding good replacements for Tom Atkins and Dan O’Herlihy.

Please no …

I can’t think of anyone who would do more damage to H3 than Blumhouse. They’ve already damaged Michael Myers for a generation. I’d rather see someone creative take a shot at an H3 sequel, not someone who has to push a leftist agenda in every movie. I’m guessing Blum would make the villain of his sequel a female witch. Every male would be portrayed like an incompetent moron (like the DGG films) and only another woman could stop the witch.

They should do something else

This is the correct answer.

If they also are such “Big fans” as they claim to be, how about they actually make a film where they put the “Horror” back in Horror, cause a lot of it is not so scary, I’ve found real crime so much scarier, I’ve yet to see the new Dahmer series, but that’s on my watchlist

Unless it’s Paranormal Activity, (and I can’t believe I’m actually saying that as I boycotted those films for years until recently and actually ended up enjoying them) whenever I see the Blumhouse logo on a film I immediately check out. They’re a pox on the genre, IMO. It’s almost like they have a monopoly on horror now and that’s not a good thing.

At least A24 and Neon are around to keep things in check.

:laughing:

:laughing: couldn’t agree more

I think the reason I’m excited well… there’s not gonna be any Myers movies coming in the next 5 years give or take so this would kinda be like a filler for that. Least to me lol

I’m down. I don’t mind the Blumhouse approach at all. Sure I have issues here and there. But like a poster said above, it’s new Halloween franchise flicks, on the big screen. That’s all I need.

The whole allure of H3 is the atmosphere and the soundtrack. A remake is not going to work.
Modern movies just can’t capture stuff like that.

Why not just make an original Halloween film in a similar vein instead of screwing with something people already like?
I have zero trust in Blumhouse to create a good re-make of Halloween 3 not that it needs one anyway.
Remake Resurrection if they want to remake something, at least that film had an interesting concept with the found footage aspect that could be redone in an interesting way.
