my idea for a santa clause 4... christmas vs. halloween

in santa clause 2 and 3, santa (scott) had what one would call a "nemesis". the fake santa in 2 and jack frost in 3. although the 4th santa movie will never be made, i think it would be interesting if the 4th films conflict involved a legendary figure that represents halloween. im thinking along the lines of dracula. of course it being a kids film (disney) it should still contain that "childish" style. but as one would ask, what would "dracula" do? would he try to take over christmas (i.e. envy scotts position as santa) or would he just make christmas dark in a halloween style. i just thought it would be interesting because i noticed that there is a legendary figure for all holidays except halloween.

last surprise i got was in 2004 when jigsaw rose from the floor.

I think it'd be pretty much impossible to have a legendary figure for Halloween be kid friendly. For it to be Halloween, it'd be violent, which they couldn't do. Or it'd be based on Pagan origins, lol, that'd go over well, not. Or he'd just some random guy who enjoys candy/a good scare, but then what figure does it get based on? I guess they rip off themselves and have Jack Skelington, but meh. I just can't see it working.

Thats not a bad idea, Dracs could find away to turn the elves into little vampires lol. That would be funny. Kinda like a Van Helsing thing. That would be funny, Dracula, could be the one, who never got to become a legendary figure he was voted out a long time ago, because of his evil doing, but wants to try to make things better, but ends up makiing thig even worse. Have the baby clause Buddy, would want to be come a vampire instead of take over his dad's chrismas job. He would rather become apart of the Halloween universe. Instead of becoming the next santa clause ,Charlie warns him about staying away from the Vampire King but Buddy could not listen. I think that would be an interesting storyline. Have both Holidays combined but Have Dracula, turn out to be a good guy in the end, but misunderstood, Thats the best way to keep it kid an family friendly. With out going over board or making it even scarier as the fact of making the elves into little vampires...

Hey man, everyone knows that Santa Clause 4 is actually Elf.

Buddy is a human who grows up at the North Pole, then leaves and looks for his father. Problem is he doesn't find Scott Calvin, he finds Walter Hobbs by mistake.

They have already made a movie with this plot. Difference is it was a Skeleton that was the Pumpkin King.
