'Worse than no content'
"This might somehow be worse than no content," one person wrote on Reddit. "Why the f- does everything have to be a 'cinematic universe' now. I hate it."
Many unsure how a TV series could work
"Maybe it's just me, but I just don't have any interest in a Halloween TV show," one fan said. "A cinematic universe for Halloween sounds quite ambitious. The meat of the franchise is simply one character, Michael Myers. I'm not sure how they branch that into a universe."
Could it be an anthology?
"I think everyone loves the anthology idea- but I think at this point, the main draw of the Halloween brand is Michael Myers, and the studios probably will lead with that approach," somebody else pointed out.
Many fans 'on the fence'
"A mini-series one-off Halloween TV show in the right hands could be great," added another fan. "A psychiatrist who deals with serial killers, gets assigned to Michael, something like that. Or Halloween night told over 6 episodes, telling different stories, different POV's of their encounters with Michael."
'Nothing good will come of this'
"Great, now we can look forward to 'The Loomis Tapes', 'The Chronicles of Corey', 'Allyson in the Middle', 'The Mark of Thorn', 'Michael: Year One', 'I, Strode' and so much more crap," one Redditor wrote in response to the news.
Some feel there isn't much more story to be told
"I'm sorry I Iove Michael but I don't think we can build a tv show around him," added another person. "He'd be a terrible main character lol We know he becomes in this state when he's what, 6? And was in a mental asylum until he escapes. Not much to talk about there."
Many fans say they will watch the series regardless
"I'll watch whatever comes next, but I would also be totally fine if they just ended the franchise with Ends or make another film like Season of the Witch," wrote one fan.
