Moustapha Akkad
He was honoured by his native city of Aleppo, and the Aleppo City Council has renamed a school and a street after Moustapha Akkad. In 2008, a street in downtown Beirut was renamed after Moustapha Akkad. The 2007 remake of "Halloween" was dedicated to Moustapha Akkad. The 2018 film "Halloween", a direct sequel to the 1978 original film that ignores all other films in the franchise, also features a dedication to Akkad in the end credits.
