Back in the early 2000s, Dimension Films almost produced a Halloween and Hellraiser crossover movie pitting Michael Myers against Pinhead.
On the other hand, it’s a bit hard to imagine how Michael Myers would hope to battle Pinhead, who (at least usually) fights with the entire force of Hell behind him. Depending on the movie, Michael Myers isn’t even supernatural, and is just supposed to be an exceedingly durable human serial killer. Still, a dream stalker and a summer camp slasher didn’t really seem like a natural pairing either, and that worked out pretty well.

When Freddy vs. Jason instead proved to be a massive hit, Dimension Films approached Bradley about starring as Pinhead in a Halloween and Hellraiser crossover, and the actor says he had a few conversations on the subject. Even more interestingly, Bradley says he discussed the potential project with Hellraiser creator Clive Barker, who was tentatively planning to write the script. Bradley also says he heard scuttlebutt at the time that Halloween creator John Carpenter might direct. Obviously, the Helloween crossover never progressed beyond the development stage, and according to Bradley, this was due to Halloween producers the Akkad family not being onboard with the idea.
