6. Halloween vs. Hellraiser
I would’ve paid to see this one. At some point (ha!), Pinhead and Michael Myers from the Hellraiser and Halloween movie franchises were supposed to appear in a film together…and raise hell (ha ha!). But the Akkad brothers, who produce the Halloween series, ultimately didn’t want their villain mixing it up with any other creatures. And myabe we can’t blame them, because it kind of screams of desperation when a well-worn film series throws its fans a major curveball. It’s kind of like when a TV show introduces a new character because they’re running out of ideas. Remember when Oliver joined The Brady Bunch? Not cool.
But it might have been a horror movie mash-up that worked. Both villains are pretty popular in the horror world, and I personally would love to see how Michael Myers fared when matched up against another slasher. I admit I haven’t seen Alien vs. Predator, but I did think Freddy vs. Jason was pretty enjoyable in a cheesy kind of way. The Halloween series will live on later in 2018 with a new reboot. We’ll have to wait until October to see how this new direction for the iconic horror franchise works out…
