Halloween co-creator John Carpenter expects more Michael Myers movies if 'HalloweenEnds makes a lot of money':
Like evil, Halloween never dies. The long-running horror franchise created by director John Carpenter and co-writer Debra Hill will finish the 40-year feud between OG final girl Laurie Strode and masked killer Michael Myers in Halloween Ends, the final chapter of David Gordon Green's rebooted trilogy.
"I didn't expect there to be a sequel [to Halloween '78]. The movie business is ruled by money. [The first] Halloween made so much money, here they came again, the same guys [saying], 'Hey John, let's do another one,'" Carpenter said when asked about 1981's Halloween II during a panel appearance at Pennsylvania's Steel City Convention."I guarantee you if Halloween Ends makes a lot of money, guess what? Just guess what.
"I don't care about the Halloween sequels," Carpenter said later about the franchise revived with 1988's Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, continuing through the 1990s and 2000s."I made the first one as a director, and that's the only one I care about except for the paycheck I get for the others.
