The first Halloween was very well made. The second one was also well made, though I didn't like it as well as the first one. The third one had nothing to do with the series at all and perhaps shouldn't have been made at all.

If you think about it, a lot of great horror films have bad sequels just because the market demands you to make the other one right away. Thank God no one in the 'Evil Dead' family thinks that way.

It's just assumed that a horror sequel is going to be bad. It's never going to be as good as the first one.

We had to do the same thing here. To top that sequel was quite a task. Mike had a couple of good conceptual humour and character ideas, which got me back into it.

I think a sequel is a waste of money and time. I think movies should illuminate new stories.

And I'm not anti-sequel, but I just feel like there are very few ideas that are meant to be continued.

I don't know if I would do sequels. I almost feel like when I'm done with them, they're going to have to find their own way.

It's always scary when you're doing a sequel to a film, because you don't want to just repeat the first film in a different location like most sequels. You want to do something totally different, and something that actually expands the world of the main character.
