Rumor: "Halloween" Series in Development for Peacock

[Avisible Man]

It's looking like evil will come home...to Peacock. Fresh off the critical debacle that was "Halloween Ends," Giant Freakin Robot is reporting that a new "Halloween" series is in the works for Peacock.

Details are still incredibly scarce about the show, but doubtless anyone who’s seen this year’s divisive Halloween Ends might be understandably confused about the notion of a series follow-up on Peacock or anywhere else.

A Halloween prequel series on Peacock could write a new origin. Not to mention we could always get a prequel that isn’t set at the beginning or end of Michael’s journey, but somewhere in the middle.

Another possibility is one that John Carpenter made a stab at years ago. The Halloween series being developed at Peacock could have little or nothing to do with Michael Myers, and could instead be an anthology like The Twilight Zone or Black Mirror.

My favorite season of American Horror Story, which is an anthology, is AHS: 1984, which was an ode to 80's slashers.

If an anthology show is the direction the Halloween series on Peacock is headed, it would do well to learn from its predecessors from other franchises. It would not be the first major horror franchise known for a single iconic villain to develop a series that had little or nothing to do with the bad guy. Freddy’s Nightmares enjoyed two seasons with Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger introducing each episode and occasionally showing up in the story.

I will add that the "Scream: TV Series" was good. We not including that 6 episode disgrace of a third season, which was still trash, despite using the the Ghostface mask and voice.

"CHUCKY," on Syfy, is a great example of a horror movie finding new life and thriving as a series.

I haven't watched "The Exorcist" show on Fox, but it got good reviews and aired two seasons. I'ma have get up on that.

Friday the 13th made its own stab with Friday the 13th: The Series, with a story about heroes working at an antique shop and trying to recover dangerous relics. The series had no connection at all to Jason Vorhees and was abruptly canceled in its third season.

Never saw that shyt; never knew it even existed.

Coincidentally, a series based on Corey's story in Halloween Ends, would have probably worked much better in this format.

Maybe they could bring back Danielle Harris, ignore the events of Halloween 6, and have her taking on Uncle Mike as an adult. I'd like to see that, especially after how they did her and Jamie in Halloween 6.

There are examples of horror movies being able to successfully transition to the small screen. Can it be done with "Halloween"?

Here we go with this bullshyt again.

Might as well do a Friday the 13th series too. A real one this time.

There needs to be a reset but maybe 5 years from now..

 

[nairdas]

Won't have shyt on the Chucky series.

They need to pick up after Resurrection and show the rise of Bustas company Dangertainment

 

[thaKEAF]

Please no

These new Halloween movies with Jamie Lee Curtis are so bad. I don’t even recognize any of them but the Rob Zombie ones.

If it follows Corey, I’d be somewhat interested.

The likelihood of this happening is slim. Giant Freakin Robot hasn’t been much reliable. They’re also not going to be able to use the ‘Halloween’ franchise name in lieu of an anthology series. They tried it with Season of the Witch back in the 80s and while a dope ass movie, the fan backlash was heavy.

If it follows Corey, I’d be somewhat interested.

NOT ONLY DID HE RUIN
THE LAST MOVIE HES DEAD.

I’d pay serious good money to see Myers taking on all of Flip Mode.
