These days, it is so impossibly difficult to create an original slasher icon. With the success of films like the new Halloween and a long line of remakes/reboots of other legends waiting in the wings, there just isn’t a lot of room for new horror villains to stake their claim. But, if you go back in time, there are numerous characters that deserved a better chance than they got. One such character comes from the long-forgotten 1995 film, Sleepstalker…

(By Matt Konopka) This past weekend, Michael Myers finally made his long-awaited return to the big screen with the Blumhouse “requel”, Halloween. Fans have anxiously awaited this moment ever since Rob Zombie’s porous Halloween II hit theaters in 2009. We’ve spent years hoping that someday, Michael would be returned to his roots. Blumhouse made it happen, even going as far as to bring back John Carpenter as a producer/composer, and star Jamie Lee Curtis to do battle with Michael one last time! Well, as they say, be careful what you wish for…

Under the direction of David Gordon Green (Prince Avalanche) and the writing of Green, Danny McBride (Vice Principals), and Jeff Fradley (also of Vice Principals) we get to see what has became of Michael and Laurie (with Jamie Lee Curtis returning as the titular character). Turns out, things haven't been great for either of them...
