I too think Akkad would've kept going instead of doing a reboot. Part of me thinks Zombie was an attempt to start over, leaving the original series to his father's legacy, and a new series for Malek Akkad to produce. However, we all know how that turned out.
To me, unless they go back to the original series, and find a compelling way to end things with Laurie's son coming back, I'll always stick with H20 as the ending. Resurrection exists as a what-if, but between not being generally well done, and also ending the main plot thread within 15 minutes, only for it to be like "Well, evil is going home. And he's basically only killing now because people are trespassing in his house.", it's not something I acknowledge much. I'm sort of reserved to even with a Carpenter-produced and scored film potentially in the pipeline, Halloween is pretty well used up, unless we go back to another sequel that ignores everything but the original, and drops the sister plot threads and such. Just a film where Michael is pure evil, stalking people on Halloween because he's evil.
