December 2, 2003 — Celluloid Shockers spoke to Doug Bradley about what was currently happening with the proposed Helloween film:

Doug mentioned that the project is 'CURRENTLY' stalled, but what he went on to say nearly had me in tears afterwards. Here's a neat little exclusive for you as to how involved Clive Barker and John Carpenter were on the project: Clive Barker and John Carpenter were good to go. Clive had the agreement papers, was ready to put pen to paper and then got a call from Bob Weinstein (Which is rare) and told Clive that they no longer wanted to do it. Now if you can imagine the two egos of Weinstein and Barker clashing with fury... you can get the idea of how that conversation ended. Now Barker is pissed off, Doug is pissed off and John Carpenter is pissed off that Mustapha Akkad has changed his mind on the project. So there you go. The rumors of a Clive Barker script directed by John Carpenter was 100% TRUE.
