Michael Myers vs Pinhead or "Helloween" was a proposed film first piched by script writer Dave Parker back in the mid 90s and would have been a crossover between the film franchises Halloween and Hellraiser.
According to Parker, when he was a child a strange man gifted Michael Myers with the Lament Configuration, a mysterious puzzle box which when solved opens a gateway to Hell. Michael solved the box and a demon called Sam Hain the Lord of the Dead came through the gateway and possessed Michael. The demon turned Michael into a supernatural killer, seemingly immune to death and with a strong desire to kill.
That night Michael murdered his older sister amd began his career as a serial killer.
Decades passed until one Halloween when a group of people arrive at the Myers house and attempt to destroy it. Instead they find the Lament Configuration and solve it, summoning the cenobite demon nicknamed Pinhead. By coincidence that same night Michael Myers returned to his old home.
Pinhead senses Sam Hain nearby, still possessing Michael's body and, seeking to reclaim the escaped demon, Pinhead battles Michael in fight a fight that takes them all the way to Hell.
Parker pitched the idead to Dimension Films by they weren't interest. However in the 2000s, after the success to horror crossover Freddy vs Jason, Dimension got interested in having their own horror crossover.
Dimension contacted Hellraiser creator Clive Barker hoping to have him write the film. They also contacted the Halloween creator John Carpenter to directed the film.
In an interview with Den of Geek, the Hellraiser star Doug Bradley, the actor of Pinhead, said that Barker was less interested in a one on one fight with the two killers and instead saw Michael as a kindred spirit to Pinhead. "Clive saw him as a sadomasochistic sexual pervert and serial killer which would be enough to pique Pinhead's interest," said Bradley.
Unfortuntely for the film, production was delayed, possible due to Halloween rights owner Moustapha Akkadwho hated the idea of the crossover. Then came the release of horror crossover Alien vs Predator in 2004 which was torn apart by critics. This helped to kill interest in making crossovers.
After that Dimension lost the rights to Halloween to Blumhouse and Hellraiser to Spyglass Media Group and Phantom Four Films ending the project completely.
In this video I try to recreate what the protect would have looked like using clips from other films.
For those of you who are wondering who all the unfamilar characters in this trailer are, outside Michael and Pinhead there was never proper cast of characters announced for the film. Also all the recurring characters from the films had either been killed off or written out at this point. So I tried to make a general cast of victims for the killers using actors from other horror films.
Music Used:
The Lament Configuration
by Christopher Young
from the Hellraiser (1987) OST
Beast of America
by Nico Vega
Halloween Theme
by John Carpenter
from the Halloween (1978) OST
