He wanted to create a series of Halloween movies that had different plots thus Season of the Witch. The movie was not popular and when Michael Myers returned the following year it was impossible to pass up when audiences craved. So I admire his creativity and devotion wanting to do different things.
Btw, I love the music of the Fog.

I didn't know that about the Fog! I did know that Halloween was never supposed to be all about Michael Myers though. I have the soundtrack of the Fog on Vinyl!

Also here is a documentary on the film and how they had to change it and add the killers so they could be seen
