We should have had a nice Halloween treat last October, but like many films, thanks to Covid, HALLOWEEN KILLS became yet another cinematic casualty, at least for 2020. David Gordon Green‘s newest sequel follows up the smash hit 2018 sequel to the original John Carpenter film. It’s now set to hit theaters in mid-October of this year, bringing back Jamie Lee Curtis as “Laurie Strode”, Judy Greer as Laurie’s daughter, and Andi Matichak as Laurie’s granddaughter Allyson Nelson. Also joining the chaos in Haddonfield (why would anyone live there now?) is original HALLOWEEN 1978 cast members Nancy Stephens as nurse Marion Chambers, Charles Cyphers as Sheriff Leigh Brackett, and Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace who Laurie was the babysitter for in the original film. Anthony Michael Hall also joins the cast this time playing Tommy Doyle, who was previously played by Paul Rudd in HALLOWEEN 5: THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS. This is the second film of a new trilogy, which will be followed by HALLOWEEN ENDS in 2022. Check out the new “final” trailer below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
Also, starting today, you can enter for your chance to win a trip for two to Los Angeles to be “killed” by Michael Myers (aka The Shape) on the set of your own Hollywood production. To be the lucky victim, record a video explaining why you are the biggest fan of the franchise and include your best horror scream.

Minutes after Laurie Strode (Curtis), her daughter Karen (Judy Greer) and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) left masked monster Michael Myers caged and burning in Laurie’s basement, Laurie is rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, believing she finally killed her lifelong tormentor.
But when Michael manages to free himself from Laurie’s trap, his ritual bloodbath resumes. As Laurie fights her pain and prepares to defend herself against him, she inspires all of Haddonfield to rise up against their unstoppable monster.
The Strode women join a group of other survivors of Michael’s first rampage who decide to take matters into their own hands, forming a vigilante mob that sets out to hunt Michael down, once and for all.
Evil dies tonight.
