Halloween 4 Tops Shudder's Worldwide Chart
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, the 1988 sequel directed by Dwight H. Little, is currently the No. 1 movie worldwide on Shudder.
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers is currently the number one movie worldwide on Shudder, according to screenrant.com. The 1988 sequel, directed by Dwight H. Little, has found a new audience on the horror-focused streaming service.
The film takes place ten years after the events of John Carpenter's original 1978 Halloween. Michael Myers returns to Haddonfield to kill his young niece while Dr. Loomis tries to stop him.
Halloween 4 was made on a $5 million budget and grossed $17 million at the box office. Its path to the screen was not simple: Carpenter and Debra Hill sold their stake in the franchise after their script was rejected, and executive producer Moustapha Akkad turned down the original concept for being too cerebral.
That early version would have taken the series in a stranger direction, with Michael Myers becoming a supernatural being who could absorb gunfire and grow in size.
Shudder's top 10 also includes other entries in the franchise, among them Halloween (1978), Halloween (2018), and Halloween 5 (1989). An upcoming Halloween TV show is the next planned step for the franchise.
