Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers picture

Trivia: The production of the film was notoriously troubled. There were numerous writers working on numerous drafts of the script before one was finally settled on. Filming was hectic with many scenes being omitted or re-written on-set. And after the first cut was complete, a poor test-screening lead to the film going through drastic reshoots that altered much of the story, including the addition of a brand new ending, which had to be written around the fact that co-star Donald Pleasance passed away shortly after the end of principal photography.

Darkman II: The Return of Durant picture

Trivia: "Darkman II" was the first direct-to-video release for Universal Studios. It was granted a larger budget in comparison to many other subsequent direct-to-video releases and had a decent marketing push, as Universal was testing the waters for movies exclusively made for the video market. The gamble with a success, with Universal continuing to release direct-to-video (and more currently, direct-to-Netflix) releases well over twenty years later.

Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh picture

Trivia: Bernard Rose, the director of the first film, wrote a script for this sequel that didn't focus on the Candyman character, but rather focused on the impact urban legends have on people. The studio felt the script was too cerebral and instead told Rose that people "just wanted to see Candyman eviscerate victims." A more traditional slasher-film script was then written and used.
