The producers expect too much from us.
Here is how the producers' meetings go:
Halloween H20: We're bringing Laurie back. Just ignore parts 3-6. We're going to kill Michael off once and for all.
Halloween Resurrection: Ha, ha. Jokes on you. Michael didn't really die. This is the real last one.
Rob Zombie's Halloween: Ignore the previous 8 films. This is a reboot.
Halloween (2018): Hey, guys. We're going back to the Jamie Lee Curtis storyline for the last time. Okay, now just ignore parts 2-8 as well as the Rob Zombie films. We're going to call this film "Halloween" to avoid confusion.
Halloween Kills: Did we say the last movie is the last one? We meant it's the last one before the final two movies.
