Jason Blum makes hints of Halloween 2 to be in the works
Has Jason Blum put all the horror fanatics waiting in anticipation by confirming that Halloween 2 is happening?
On his official Twitter page, Jason Blum gave two short answers to questions about if Halloween 2 will be in the works already. It’s been a few months since that news has circulated, and the answers that Blum gave are “Working on it” and “Patience.”
On that note, once it’s officially settled and date and cast are confirmed, we will give an update. Even though it was expressed a few months ago that Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, and Andi Matichak are expected to return, along with Nick Castle the original Mike Myers shows that he would be interested in reprising the role. Until that is officially confirmed, I would not get excited yet.
For now, we need to sit and see what happens. Leave your comments below, would love to hear your thoughts.

Halloween is Shooting – And There is Proof
UPDATE: New images of Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick Castle on set.

2018 is definitely a year for upcoming horror films like God Particle, The Nun, Truth or Dare, oh, and, of course, who can forget… Halloween (aka Halloween Returns and referred to as such from here on)?
The film has been shooting at a rapid pace and from seeing a bunch of behind the scenes stills, it’s looking all sorts of crazy. Jamie Lee Curtis arrived on set earlier last week and everyone went nuts. From reading a bunch of comments, I know I am not the only die-hard Halloween fan who is excited as all Hell. Some people are still in shock that an actual Halloween film is being made as we speak and Danny McBride co-wrote it with director David Gordon Green who were also the comic geniuses that brought us Pineapple Express and Your Highness.
Now that everything is running in motion, it’s safe to say that everything we were teased about early on is true. Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick (The Shape) Castle will both reprise their roles. John Carpenter will in fact not only help produce the film with Trancas International and Blumhouse, but he is set to score it, as well.

While shooting the film, Nick Castle who portrayed The Shape in 1978, is back and behind the mask again and somebody took a picture of him getting ready to get into action. Halloween Returns is still slated to open on October 19, 2018 (ironically enough, that just so happens to be Michael Myers’ birthday).

For me, this is the number 1 film of the year to see. I just hope that they all know what they are doing and us die-hard fans will not be disappointed and we will finally see a sequel that lives up to the original. You can expect to see a teaser trailer for Halloween Returns around April or May to really kick the anticipation into gear.
Michael lives, and this time, I’m ready.

THIS JUST IN: Jamie Lee Curtis Returning to Halloween
She's Baaaaaaaaaaack!!!
Lately, it seems that the horror world we all have grown to love and honor has been on a dizzy downward spiral with news of sequels, remakes, and nonsense not even worth mentioning - unless you're a 16-year-old who loves PG-13 horror films and has the attention span of a turtle. With all that mumbo jumbo said, it comes with great pleasure to announce that a new Halloween installment is being put together by Blumhouse, Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, and the master of horror himself, John Carpenter. The news broke earlier today and included some really great news - the original Scream Queen herself, Jamie Lee Curtis, will reprise her role as Laurie Strode.
What do we know about the new installment thus far?
Well, for starters, we know that John Carpenter and Jason Blum are heavily involved. We know that Danny McBride co-wrote the film with David Gordon Green, who is directing as well. We also believe that the film will take place roughly after the events that happened in Halloween II (1981). It seems that this will be the version that everyone wished that was gonna happen when we got Halloween III: Season of The Witch (which is not a bad film at all) instead. Halloween III is great on its own, but it doesn't fit with the direction the franchise took. Had it continued as John Carpenter originally intended, a series of films telling different stories set around the Halloween season. We also know that the film will go back to the basics, back to when the franchise was scary, and if Carpenter is behind this damn thing 100%, then you know he isn't gonna let bullshit get in front of cameras. Especially when it comes to Halloween. Last, but certainly not least, we know that John Carpenter is not only serving as Executive Producer, but that he very much wants to score the film as well.
News doesn't get much better than this, especially for a huge Halloween fan like myself.
So now that we have a new film scheduled to be released on October 19, 2018, it's also being touted as the final film in the Halloween franchise. If you ask me, the box office will decide on that or not. I, for one, am highly excited to see the new film, and I am also excited to see Laurie Strode and her brother, the maniacal mass murderer known as Michael Myers, go head to head one more time.
Jamie Lee Curtis tweeted earlier:
Same porch, Same clothes, same issues 40 years later. Headed back to Haddonfield one last time for Halloween.
Next October can't come soon enough!!!
