Don't think it has been a 100% confirmed but there are talks of a sequel and Jamie Lee Curtis said she'd come back if David Gordon Green directed. Regardless of how they bring Michael back if he did somehow escape the house, lets be honest, they can't just have another film with Michael strolling house-to-house, killing again. They really need to do something completely different and really subvert the expectations and common tropes of a typical Halloween film. For the longest time, I actually always wondered why Michael always came back just on Halloween or at least the month of October, then I realized its because of the mask and he can walk around on the streets without suspicion because everyone else does it. So it begs the question when Halloween is over, or when it isn't October, could Michael get away wearing the mask all the time, assuming the police and everyone else doesn't realize he just killed a bunch of people? Rob Zombie attempted to do this, though I think the execution was off because we saw Michael's face too much. But I think it's an interesting idea to explore. I still want to see a Halloween film where we see Michael's massacre, and then the following day and what he does. Does he keep killing, or does try and escape and wait till next year?

Sure, it was called Black Christmas. Hey-o.
I think if The Last Jedi taught us anything, it's that if you subvert expectations too much, you'll piss off the fanboys. And a non-Halloween Halloween would do exactly that. Plus, now that Michael is back to not just being after family, having him also killing on different days would kind of make it indistinguishable from other slashers.
Halloween 5 and Resurrection kind of touched on the "what happens between Halloweens" angle. He just sleeps it off or hangs in his house eating animals.
Here's my whacky idea: Michael in Mexico. Have him carving up a Day of the Dead celebration. Dios mio.

Michael Myers loses his mind on Friday the 13th instead!  |

I hope the next Halloween is directed by a black lesbian and the entire cast is either Latinx or transgender (or both).  |

But to answer the question: I think no. I don't think this series is quite as malleable as, say, Friday the 13th, and it shows in the quality of the sequels. If the series must continue, I hope it's not for more than one or two more sequels at most, and I also hope they at least stay true to the setting. Having it take place on any date other than October 31st (and early November 1st) just wouldn't be quite right.

You could do it. Whether people like it or not remains to be seen.

By having Myers come back and kill only on Halloween they more or less painted themselves into a corner almost as much as they did with the "only killing family" storyline. I'm sure this is why Carpenter said that Halloween worked best as a one shot movie and after that there was no more story.
I'm about as big of a Halloween fanboy as you'll find. To be honest, for me, I wouldn't care if it involved Myers killing on another day. If the movie is good then its good. I don't care if it takes place on Oct 31 or July 4th. But then again, it's called Halloween, so I could understand how some people would not be open to it.
As far as this last movie goes, I liked Myers strolling from house to house. To me that alluded to what Brackett and Loomis talked about in the original about the families on the streets of Haddonfield being lined up for a slaughterhouse. But that's the problem that the people who make these films face. No matter what they do not everyone is going to like it.

I don't think so. To me that ruin the idea. The movie is about a killer on Halloween. If it wasn't on Halloween, it'd lose that vibe.
