Back in 2003 many horror fans' nightmares were answered when Freddy vs. Jason brought the iconic Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th killers together in a crossover that had been on the cards for many years. Of course that isn't plenty to satisfy genre aficionados, and immediately they wanted to run across Freddy and Jason have on other horror legends. While Evil Dead'southward Ash was brought into the mix in the comic book series Freddy vs Jason vs Ash, one that has eluded any kind of crossover is Halloween'southward Michael Myers. According to the Senior Vice President of Trancas International Films, who ain the franchise rights to Halloween, information technology looks similar this is one fan wish that is not likely to be granted in any time to come movie.

While speaking in an interview with CBR, Ryan Freimann, who also produced both the 2018 Halloween and sequel Halloween Kills , was quick to dismiss the chances of a crossover upshot between the biggest icons of the genre because in his opinion they are all entreatment to dissimilar audiences.

"We always encounter that because you lot e'er want to have Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees and and so Leatherface has kind of crept into there on the Mount Rushmore of those guys. I nevertheless similar to recollect that Michael existence the start is the best and I think each has their ain (appeal). Freddy definitely has his silliness and is interesting. I've never truly been a Jason fan but I observe merit in all of them. We partner with Universal in their horror parks on the Titans of Terror where all 4 of them are represented simply we try to really keep them on their own so I don't remember you'll come across a Michael vs. Jason or Michael vs. Freddy on the docket for the time to come."

While Halloween'southward current owners appear to accept a definite solo futurity in mind for the franchise, it hasn't e'er been that mode. Back when Freddy vs Jason grossed over $100 million at the box office, Dimension Films, who had the rights to both the Halloween franchise and Clive Barker's Hellraiser, were great to enlist Barker and Halloween creator John Carpenter to bring Michael Myers and Pinhead into the same universe.

Speaking to Den of Geek in an interview last yr, Hellraiser star Doug Bradley talked nearly the crossover that never was. "I remember getting quite excited at the prospect of it. Clive said that the versus bit, the Michael Myers vs Pinhead flake was a bit beside the signal - it was a bit boring given that Michael doesn't speak, which makes him a disappointment to Pinhead. Clive wasn't interested in a mano-a-mano confrontation. He was interested in finding the places where the Hellraiser and Halloween landscapes might take crossed over. The beginning Halloween works like a archetype vampire film with Michael every bit Dracula and Dr. Loomis every bit Van Helsing."

He concluded, "Dr. Loomis spends a lot of the motion-picture show alert people they don't know what they are dealing with. Information technology gave Michael this supernatural, mysterious chemical element that fabricated him then powerful. There was a suggestion he was something not human and Clive felt there was a style in at that place. Clive saw him as a sadomasochistic sexual pervert and series killer which would be enough to pique Pinhead'south interest."

And then it may exist the case that we will non see Michael Myers turning up in whatsoever other horror franchise than his own anytime soon, merely that doesn't mean that the idea is going to stay buried forever. For the moment though, all attention is on the arrival of Halloween Kills, which volition go far in theaters and streams on Peacock from October 15th.
