Halloween Returns director Marcus Dunstan explains the significance of the film’s title

Dunstan, who will also write the film with his Saw collaborator Patrick Melton, elaborated on the lack of punctuation in the title and possible readings of it.

He said: “I think it was registered as Halloween Returns, which is fine – I like that, and it works, it does function as what it means to say.

“But if you commit a violent act, sometimes you get returns.

“What are the repercussions of being a violent entity?

“In that case, Halloween Returns could mean a number of things.”

Halloween Returns does not yet have a confirmed release date.
