January 19, 2005 — Fangoria received some unconfirmed news about the 9th Halloween film:

"The new movie is called HALLOWEEN: ASYLUM," the scooper tells Fango, "and its being written by Matt Vennewhose spec horror script SECOND SIGHT is being produced by Clive Barkers Seraphim Filmsfor SUICIDE CLUBs Sion Sono to make his North American directorial debut. HALLOWEEN: ASYLUM is being set in Smiths Grove, which became a maximum security penitentiary/asylum after the breakout of 78. Its filled with deranged killers and Michael is awaiting execution, harking back to the horror-hospital setting of HALLOWEEN II. This is not going to be some neutered VS. movie, not filled with campy one-liners, etc. Rather, it takes the iconic Michael Myers back to his roots in a very cool setting. Its really serious/scary/suspenseful in tone, like all the best HALLOWEEN films have been."
