'' Halloween '' spawned seven sequels . Of these films , only the first sequel was written by Carpenter and Hill . It begins exactly where '' Halloween '' ends and was intended to finish the story of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode . Carpenter did not direct any of the subsequent films in the '' Halloween '' series , although he did produce '' Halloween III : Season of the Witch '' , the plot of which is unrelated to the other films in the series due to the absence of Michael Myers . He , along with Alan Howarth , also composed the music for the second and third films . After the negative critical and commercial reception for '' Season of the Witch '' , the filmmakers brought back Michael Myers in '' Halloween 4 : The Return of Michael Myers '' . Financier Moustapha Akkad continued to work closely with the '' Halloween '' franchise , acting as executive producer of every sequel until his death in the 2005 Amman bombings
