JD and Noel discuss the 2015 screenplay Halloween Returns by Patrick Melton & Marcus Dunstan (Feast, The Collector), which Dunstan was also signed to direct. This was the last attempt by Dimension Studios to make a Halloween film, but wasn't able to get off the ground before their license of the rights expired.
