[Short Film] Witness the Rebirth of Michael Myers
It’s no secret that Halloween is one of the most influential slashers of the last four decades. The number of films that look up to John Carpenter’s low-budget box office sensation is uncountable, its stark style and eerie music setting a precedent for many films that followed.
Still, even with its popularity, it still amazes me that so many people keep coming back to it as the foundation of their creative endeavors, not that that’s a bad thing. For example, let’s talk about TOWER 10 Productions and their short film Halloween: The Rebirth of Michael Myers. Using lines and sound clips from the original movie, the short film tells the story of Jamie, a young woman who is asked to babysit on Halloween night. Much like in the original film, Michael Myers doesn’t necessarily approve of this.
What I liked about this short film is that it’s pretty brutal. I won’t go into details but some implicated deaths are rather eyebrow raising. Additionally, there’s a great use of color. It’s not flawless, but I enjoyed this short and think it’s worth sharing with all of you.
Can you believe this year marks the 25TH ANNIVERSARY of Bloody Disgusting?! Yes, it was way back in 2001 that Brad Miska and Tom Owen launched this very website, with yours truly taking over as Editor-in-Chief around 10 years ago. It’s been the highlight of my life to run and write for this website every single day of those past 10 years, and one of the very best things about writing for Bloody Disgusting is the community that’s kept us alive all these years.
It’s thanks to you, the readers and supporters of Bloody Disgusting, that we get to keep doing this for a living, and we’re deeply proud of the fact that we’ve continued to have an engaged and active readership over the years and throughout the many changes we’ve had to weather.
We’re not going anywhere anytime soon, and we hope you’re not either.
On that note, we thought it might be fun to fire up monthly discussion threads where you can essentially use the comments sections of those articles to ask us anything. Sure, we’re always hanging around in the comments sections of different articles here and there when we can, but these will be dedicated spaces that we can repeatedly come back to throughout each month to answer questions and chat about what’s going on in the world of horror.
For the month of June 2026, this is that discussion thread. Feel free to come on back here any day throughout June to ask us literally anything, or start up a discussion on any topic of your choosing. Whenever we’ve got some spare time in between writing articles, we’ll pop in here and engage back with as many of those comments as we possibly can.
As long as you’re being pleasant, even if you’re expressing disagreements with our opinions or frustrations with anything we’re doing, the conversation will be more than welcome.
So go ahead… ASK BLOODY DISGUSTING ANYTHING!
