Tarantino’s Halloween

Like a lot of people in the creative arts, Quentin Tarantino has a hard time nailing down a project without being distracted by something else. The amount of films he’s enthused about that never came to be far outweighs all the ones that did make it to the screen. Fangoria digs up some of the highlights from Tarantino’s previous horror associations.

“I didn’t write it down, but what I would’ve done is [have HALLOWEEN 6 begin with] 15 or 20 minutes of just the man and Michael having left the jail. What it takes to get him out of sight. He literally takes him to a diner, they sit down, shit happens at the diner, they have to escape, they go to someplace else, shit goes down at the motel, they have to go someplace else.”

I had heard about Tarantino’s involvement with the Halloween franchise, but the anecdote concerning the Evil Dead remake is new to me. What do you think? Could he have made either of them work. Better the Devil you know…?
