		| Originally posted by g star supposedly the franchise had intended to release a new "halloween" film every year at halloween.  the idea was that each film would be an original idea, having nothing to do with the prequels.  however, fan reaction to the lack of myers in III was so overwhelmingly negative that the studio ditched the idea and went back to MM.  or so i've heard.

 Yep, that's exactly what happened.
Personally I liked H3 as a seperate movie from the rest of them, but with the lack of Michael Myers, it just seems out of place in the Halloween franchise.  I think if it had been released under it's own name altogether, it'd have been a bit better received.
