John Carpenter’s Original Halloween Title Would Have Doomed The Franchise
When creators John Carpenter and Debra Hill were drafting Halloween, the first title they gave the project was not anywhere near as marketable or worthy of franchising. The Halloween movies hinge on the morbid holiday as their main selling point, as well as the central demonic figure of Michael Myers. Had Irwin Yablans not stepped in to request a title change, Halloween may never have transformed into a successful franchise.
