Halloween without Michael Myers feels incomplete, but fans of the franchise still have reason to celebrate this season. While David Gordon Green’s Halloween Ends (2022) was the closing chapter of a trilogy, many felt the conclusion missed the mark, spending too much time on Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell) rather than “The Shape” himself.
Still, the box office didn’t mind, as it pulled in over $100 million.
For fans craving more of the masked menace, a new Halloween TV series is in the works with Trancas and Miramax. Though there’s no release date, the series promises to expand into a shared universe with more films, ensuring Myers’ legacy continues.
Until then, die-hard fans can dive into the existing 13-film series—though some, like Halloween III, The Revenge of Michael Myers, and Rob Zombie’s re-imaginings, might be best left for the hardcore enthusiasts.

With Samuel Racicot as the iconic slasher, Halloween Stalks II keeps the terror close to home, with a suspenseful storyline that teases, “The Boogeyman is real.”
Initially removed from YouTube, the film returned to resounding support and currently boasts over 90,000 views as of October 29. Cousineau-Benoit’s dedication to the franchise shines through, capturing the gritty, suspenseful essence that fans have come to love.

Between Halloween Stalks II, the upcoming series, and the video game, it’s clear that Michael Myers isn’t fading away anytime soon. Horror fans have plenty of content to look forward to as they await The Shape's next official appearance, whether he’s creeping through your screen in a fan film, lurking in a video game, or stalking through an upcoming series.
As always, Michael Myers is never truly gone—he’s just waiting for the right moment to return.
