"A source got in touch with FANGORIA with some news about the ninth
HALLOWEEN film, currently in development. "The new movie is called
HALLOWEEN: ASYLUM," the scooper tells Fango, "and it's being written
by Matt Venne—whose spec horror script SECOND SIGHT is being produced
by Clive Barker's Seraphim Films—for SUICIDE CLUB's Sion Sono to make
his North American directorial debut. HALLOWEEN: ASYLUM is being set
in Smith's Grove, which became a maximum security penitentiary/asylum
after the breakout of '78. It's filled with deranged killers and
Michael is awaiting execution, harking back to the horror-hospital
setting of HALLOWEEN II. This is not going to be some neutered VS.
movie, not filled with campy one-liners, etc. Rather, it takes the
iconic Michael Myers back to his roots in a very cool setting. It's
really serious/scary/suspenseful in tone, like all the best HALLOWEEN
films have been." No one from the HALLOWEEN camp has officially
confirmed these details, but we'll let you know more as we find it
out."
