In the same way Michael Myers keeps returning to his home town of Haddonfield, the Halloween franchise is doomed to perpetually revisit it’s glory days. From Anthology to Identity CrisisBy the 1990s the Halloween franchise was having somewhat of an identity problem. Michael Myers and his psychiatrist Dr. Loomis were both definitively dead, and the story had come to a close. Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers ignored Halloween 3 entirely and was a direct sequel to Halloween 2. That movie did end with Michael Myers still alive, leaving the door open for a third film in it’s timeline.
