Ya know what movie I'd like to see? The one that names the sources saying Carpenter was approached with doing this.

I posted this a while back. It's part of a small interview from a local magazine. It's translated from Dutch. In this, Carpenter says he was approached to direct the Hellraiser/Candyman movie, but says he declined:

Question: There are rumors they're planning a remake of your biggest classic 'Halloween' in Hollywood?
Carpenter: They didn't ask me. They did ask me if I would be interested in a monstermovie where Pinhead from Hellraiser would battle with Candyman. It would be something like Freddy vs Jason. I kindly declined.

Question: In a recent interview you have complained that you barely get any work in Hollywood. You even threatened to retire and only smoke dope & watch porn from now on.
Carpenter: I meant that half-ironically. But I admit: It isn't as fun as it used to be. I'm not planning on making any more movies, unless someone gives me a fortune.

Another interview snippet:

"Dimension had actually approached them about was a Michael Myers meets Pinhead film with Clive Barker writing and Carpenter directing," Sandy King admittedly told our source, though, that this pairing would be unlikely but, "…Carpenter is a great fan of Barker's and the one thing that might tempt him would be if Barker signed on and had a great script idea."

Hellraiser vs. Candyman!!!???

I think it would be a interesting concept but would really be a good movie? I am an avid Pinhead fan and I do like the
Candyman but how would you bring the two together and really make it worth watching!!!!!!!

It just wouldn't work, unless they where included in the next two freddy vs jason movies.

it just might work, but the whole idea just sounds silly

jason and freddy where bigger movie serial killers and had more movies released
