  • Gag Reel
  • Deleted and Extended Scenes
  • Haddonfield’s Open Wounds – Those who die at the hands of Michael Myers are not his only victims. We look at some of the returning characters, and why their past traumatic encounters with The Shape made them natural candidates to try and defend Haddonfield against him.
  • The Kill Team – It takes a big team to create a film the scale of HALLOWEEN KILLS, especially when part of the task is raising the bar for Michael’s gruesome kills. We hear the people behind the mayhem discuss how they continue to push the franchise to new heights.
  • Strode Family Values – Filmmakers and cast discuss the three generations of Strode women that have been terrorized by The Shape, and the roles Laurie, Karen and Allyson play in trying to vanquish his evil.
  • 1978 Transformations – Shooting new footage that matches the feel of the iconic 1978 footage is no easy task, and even takes a little bit of luck. We reveal some of the secrets of how filmmakers achieved these stunning sequences.
  • The Power of Fear – The impact of Michael Myers’ pure evil extends far beyond his victims. We examine how fear of The Shape changed the psychology of the people of Haddonfield.
  • Kill Count

Halloween Kills to World Premiere in Venice; Jamie Lee Curtis to Receive Lifetime Achievement

by

Ahead of its theatrical release on October 15th, 2021, director David Gordon Green’s upcoming feature Halloween Kills will have its world premiere on September 8th at the 78th Venice Film Festival, according to Deadline. In addition, the festival is set to award a Gold Lion award for Lifetime Achievement to series star Jamie Lee Curtis.

Curtis said of the Lifetime Achievement, “I am incredibly humbled to be honored in this way by the Venice International Film Festival. It seems impossible to me that I’ve been in this industry long enough to be receiving ‘Lifetime Achievement’ recognition, and to have it happen now, with Halloween Kills, is particularly meaningful to me. Halloween, and my partnership with Laurie Strode, launched and sustained my career, and to have these films evolve into a new franchise that is beloved by audiences around the world was, and remains, a gift. Italian Cinema has always honored and heralded the genre that gave me my career, so I couldn’t be more proud and happy to accept this award from the Venice International Film Festival on behalf of Laurie and all the courageous heroines of the world who stand tall in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles and refuse to yield.”

Venice fest director Alberto Barbera commented, “Jamie Lee Curtis belongs to that rarefied group of Hollywood actors who best reflect the qualities that are the very soul of the global film industry and its legacy. A direct descendant of America’s film aristocracy — she is the daughter of two unforgettable stars, Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh — Jamie Lee Curtis is the natural embodiment of a star who knows how to play roles with versatility and amenability, all while infusing them with her peerless charisma and signature personality. All these qualities, combined with her work as an author of children’s books and her commitment to her charitable work have cemented her status as an indelible and enduring global artist. To date, her extraordinary four-decade career, which began with her dazzling debut in John Carpenter’s 1978 horror classic, Halloween, encompasses more than forty feature films and reminds us that true talent, combined with intelligence, wit, endurance and sheer grit, are the hallmarks of this true and unforgettable star.”

A direct sequel to director David Gordon Green’s global 2018 smash hit Halloween, Halloween Kills is directed by Green from a script he co-wrote with returning collaborator Danny McBride and series newcomer Scott Teems.

Returning to reprise her role of final girl “Laurie Strode” which she originated in John Carpenter’s immortal classic 1978 film Halloween, Jamie Lee Curtis is joined by original cast members Nick Castle, Kyle Richards, Nancy Stephens and Charles Cyphers.

Total Film Debuts Exclusive Image of Michael Myers from the Upcoming Halloween Kills

by

Total Film released today an exclusive image of iconic slasher Michael Myers from the upcoming feature film Halloween Kills, set for release by Universal Pictures on October 15, 2021. Check it out below, as well as comments from director David Gordon Green on what audiences can expect of his follow-up to the 2018 smash hit, Halloween.

“It’s about the creation of fear,” director David Gordon Green says of the Halloween Kills, which brings back not only Myers and Jamie Lee Curtis’ “final girl” Laurie Strode but also several other characters from the 1978 John Carpenter horror classic.

“It’s one thing to be afraid of the Boogeyman,” extrapolated Green, “to have someone who might be in the closet, under the bed, creeping around your house. But we wanted to explore next was confusion, misinformation, and paranoia. What happens when fear goes viral? You can’t just stick your head under the covers anymore.”

“When we made the last one we wanted to find a way for someone who’s never seen the original to get up to speed with the story,” Green concluded. “But this one gets right to the action. It’s very aggressive. It’s more efficient. We wanted it to be an explosive middle before things get streamlined and personal again (with Halloween Ends).”

For more on Halloween Kills – and a preview of all the biggest movies heading your way in 2021 – pick up a copy of the new issue of Total Film Magazine when it hits shelves (real and digital) this Friday, January 8. 

A direct sequel to director David Gordon Green’s global 2018 smash hit Halloween, Halloween Kills is directed by Green from a script he co-wrote with returning collaborator Danny McBride and series newcomer Scott Teems.

Returning to reprise her role of final girl “Laurie Strode” which she originated in John Carpenter’s immortal classic 1978 film Halloween, Jamie Lee Curtis is joined by original cast members Nick Castle, Kyle Richards, Nancy Stephens and Charles Cyphers.
