Carpenter tried to resist but was drawn back in by the offer of a decent paycheck. Here, he would create one of the most controversial elements of the Halloween mythos and the driving force of influence for the series until Halloween 2018. What ensued was a feud between writer and director, lost masks, and a showdown that ended up not being as final as they thought.
