When David Gordon Green and Danny McBride took over the Halloween franchise and softly rebooted it for Blumhouse, fans were skeptical. However, the first two movies did a decent job at bridging generations of fans and reacquainting Michael Myers with the Strode family. This time, it wasn’t about cults or meandering plots — Michael, as the Shape of Evil, was cutting a bloody path towards Laurie Strode.Halloween Ends wrapped up the trilogy in 2022, with Michael looking to continue slaying many Haddonfield victims in Chicago. He was trying to extend his rampage after murdering Laurie’s daughter, Karen, turning his gaze to Laurie and her granddaughter, Allyson. However, Halloween Ends threw fans for a loop by rushing in a new concept with the Shape as a virus. Unfortunately, it undid the work the previous films laid down with a narrative that didn’t add up. While it was completely out of left field, the idea was definitely great on paper, and showed what the trio of new movies should have been about in the first place.Thanks to the Cult of Thorn, the older Halloween films explored Michael as a supernatural entity. Those movies lost nuance, however, which is why fans took to Michael being refined by Blumhouse as an unstoppable killing machine, akin to Leatherface, Jason Voorhees and such. But there has to be a mystical aspect to someone being so indestructible, which is why when Halloween Ends positioned Michael as an infection, it made sense. There, he found and corrupted Corey Cunningham, someone Allyson was in love with.RELATED: Halloween Sparks Bidding War as Miramax Shops Franchise Rights
