Deciding to recon almost an entire franchise is a risky move, but that’s exactly what Blumhouse Productions did when it greenlit a brand new installment of a 40 year old series: Halloween. The stars seemed to align for Blumhouse: an able director was on board (Stronger‘s David Gordon Green) and helping Green with the script…
In the process of taking notes for this post, I wrote down the following quote spoken by one of Halloween: Resurrection‘s main characters: “Trick or treat…motherfucker!” If that’s not enough to make you go hmmmm, you should know that line is spoken by none other than Busta Rhymes.
