Okay, here's my philosophy with a new 'Halloween'...
If you watch the original 'Halloween 2', you see that the expectations of having a BIG film snuck it's way in and manipulated the movie. I mean, I love the film, but it was that film that started the explosions, which lead to Michael stabbing guns through people, to dramatic car chases... I love the basis that the original 'Halloween' carried out: less is more. We're so numb to gore and guts and overload of profanity that these elements make for a faceless flick. A man- well, he's hardly 'just a man', but nonetheless, stalking you throughout the neighborhood is STILL terrifying in real life. We don't need to go over the top!
Also, 1978's was a cinematic gem with the original score, the easy flow of the camera- the whole shaky vibe is frightening at times, yes, but it makes the subject matter less important.
I say IF there is another installment in the 'Halloween' franchise, I really hope it goes back to the original style. We don't need gimmicks.
Oh yeah, and keep Michael Bay as far away from it as possible.
