I thought that he would have made a great Lomis before the first movie was even in talks (That I knew of) I'm VERY glad to see him back as I think he pretty much made the movie last time around in his role.
I'm curious where you got this article from. It surprises me that someone who would write an article about the series (And I assume know their stuff, most likely from some horror place) would make such a careless mistake as spelling Myers 'Meyers'. Then, the teaser is a poster I can't find anywhere else (The official Halloween Movies site, board or Rob Zombie's Myspace). The difference is the Dimension logo in the corner.
Idk, the article sounds weird to me.
From what I heard though, both Compton (Laurie) and McDowell (Loomis) agreed to be in two sequels (If they would be greenlighted). Zombie's Myspace also says that Ezra Buzzington (Mirrors) would be in it after having his scenes cut from the last movie. Tyler Mane is going to be Michael again and I assume there's a good chance that Danielle Harris could be back at Nancy Loomis. (I swear, Danielle just can't die in Halloween movies )
I can't really see why Sherri or Daeg would be in this. They already detailed what happened to Michael when he was young. Daeg looks a lot older these days, so unless they're going to show him staring while wearing a paper mask, I don't see the point.

Two is perhaps the most disappointing one for me (Note: That doesn't mean it's the worst one). It seemed as if the entire film is just filler for the final 10-15 minutes of finally seeing Laurie and Michael meet up again. With the exception of Bud, all of the new characters were instantly forgettable once they died.
The combination of John Carpenter writing and Rick Rosenthal directing (Who also directed Resurrection) just spells disaster to me. But that's what you get when you have a writer who had no idea what to do and a poor director.
Halloween 3 is hands down one of the most underrated horror films of the 80's. It's a fun little campy horror film. However, because it doesn't have Michael Myers, some people instantly hate it. If people could just get past the fact it's not a traditional Halloween film, they might be able to see how enjoyable it really is.
Bonus points for having one of my favorite Halloween opening scenes.
