Halloween Ends

Sheriff Leigh Brackett Returns in Halloween Kills

October 14, 2019 by Sean Decker

We’ve been sitting on this news for a while here at HalloweenMovies.com, but today we’re happy to confirm Twitter account @Halloween_Fans’ tweet that another original cast member from John Carpenter’s 1978 classic Halloween has returned for David Gordon Green’s currently shooting feature Halloween Kills: actor Charles Cyphers.

Cyphers, who portrayed ‘Sheriff Leigh Brackett’ in the seminal film (as well as the 1981 follow-ups Halloween II) will reprise his role in Green’s sequel to last year’s hit film Halloween (in its new timeline), joining actresses Kyle Richards (as ‘Lindsey Wallace’) and Nancy Stephens (as ‘Nurse Marion’) and series final girl Jamie Lee Curtis as ‘Laurie Strode.’ Joining them are Anthony Michael Hall (in the role of ‘Tommy Doyle’, taking over for Brian Andrews) and Robert Longstreet as ‘Lonnie Elam.’

Set for release by Universal Pictures on October 16th, 2020, Halloween Kills is produced by Trancas International Films, Miramax and Blumhouse Productions, with director Green directing from a script he co-wrote with returning collaborator Danny McBride and series newcomer Scott Teems.

Based on characters created by series originator John Carpenter and Debra Hill, Halloween Kills and its 2021 follow-up Halloween Ends will be produced by Akkad, Jason Blum and Bill Block. Green, McBride, John Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jeanette Volturno, Couper Samuelson and Ryan Freimann will serve as executive producers, with Ryan Turek overseeing both projects for Blumhouse.

Check out a teaser for the films below.

Halloween Spoilers: A Message from the Editor

October 11, 2019 by Sean Decker

Film spoilers: many hate them, while others actively seek them out. Being lifelong film fans ourselves here at Trancas International Films, we can relate. Some of us here can even recall the days before the internet, in which Halloween fans experienced the latest entry with little knowledge of the film’s narrative, other than what had possibly been gleaned from the flick’s trailer, television and radio ad spots, or set visit within the pages of Fangoria magazine.

So with Halloween Kills in production, and the start of Halloween Ends right around the corner, how do we balance both, in order to deliver an exciting and unspoiled cinematic experience for the fans who’d like it, but also satisfy the fans hungry for information? It’s a bit of a conundrum, and while Trancas won’t oversee in entirety either films’ marketing rollouts (amazing distributor Universal Pictures will be handling that, along with input from producing partners Blumhouse and Miramax, as they did with last year’s Halloween), we do also feel that we have some responsibility to you, the fans, many of who have been with us since the very beginning, when Michael first came home in 1978 (and thank you sincerely for continuing on this bloody journey with us).

So what’s our approach? Here at HalloweenMovies.com, we’ll stay as spoiler free as possible, and while we’ll certainly be providing you behind-the-scenes peeks and more from both films (and exclusive info as it comes in), those peeks will hopefully be enough just to whet your appetite, but not to sate it.

Because after all, in our estimation, there’s nothing like the feeling of sitting down in a theater, a bag of popcorn in one hand and a Coke in the other as the house lights go down and the screen begins to flicker a story unknown. Stories of shock, fear and fright, and stories we would never dream of spoiling.

Jamie Lee Curtis Wins Best Actress for Halloween (2018) at the Saturn Awards

September 16, 2019 by Sean Decker

With the 45th annual Saturn Awards having taken place this past Friday night at the Avalon Hollywood in Los Angeles, CA, the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films honored many for their excellence within the genre, one of which was actress Jamie Lee Curtis, who won the award for ‘Best Actress in a Film’ for her portrayal of Laurie Strode in last year’s smash hit, the David Gordon Green-directed feature film Halloween.

“It’s Friday the 13th, it’s a full moon, and I’m the luckiest girl in the world,” Curtis said during her acceptance speech in which she accepted the award from presenter Jon Cryer, and sang the praises of many, including Green and filmmaker John Carpenter, who originated the horror series in which she’s become a staple via 1978’s Halloween.

“There are millions of people responsible for this (award),” she continued, “and those are the fans of this beautiful genre that has given me my creative life.”

You can watch her speech from the Saturns below.

Curtis returns to the Halloween universe next year in Halloween Kills (a direct sequel to last year’s Halloween), which is slated for release on October 16th of 2020. Produced by Trancas International Films, Miramax and Blumhouse Productions, filmmaker Green returns for Kills to direct from a script he co-wrote with returning collaborator Danny McBride and series newcomer Scott Teems.

Based on characters created by series originator Carpenter and Debra Hills, Halloween Kills and its impending 2021 follow-up Halloween Ends will be produced by Malek Akkad, Jason Blum and Bill Block. Green, McBride, John Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jeanette Volturno, Couper Samuelson and Ryan Freimann will serve as executive producers, with Ryan Turek overseeing both projects for Blumhouse.

Our congratulations to Jamie Lee!

Exclusive: Little Lindsey Wallace Won’t Know What Hit Her!

August 30, 2019 by Sean Decker

HalloweenMovies.com is happy to report that actress Kyle Richards will return to Haddonfield!

Richards, who portrayed the character of Lindsey Wallace in John Carpenter’s seminal 1978 film Halloween is set to reprise her role in David Gordon Green’s upcoming feature Halloween Kills, coming to theaters October 16th, 2020.

No stranger to the genre, Richards previous roles include (in addition to Halloween) the horror flicks Eaten Alive (1976), The Car (1977) and The Watcher in the Woods (1980), although fans of reality TV may more recognize her from her appearances in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, in which she portrays herself. The 50-year old actress, producer and author joins the previously announced Anthony Michael Hall (in the role of ‘Tommy Doyle’, taking over for Brian Andrews) and series star and lead Jamie Lee Curtis as Final Girl ‘Laurie Strode’ in director Green’s sequel to his hit film, last year’s recalibration, Halloween.

Said Halloween series producer Malek Akkad of Richard’s casting, “We couldn’t be happier, and are so excited that Kyle is coming home to her Halloween roots.” 

Set for release by Universal Pictures on October 16th, 2020, Halloween Kills is produced by Trancas International Films, Miramax and Blumhouse Productions, with director Green directing from a script he co-wrote with returning collaborator Danny McBride and series newcomer Scott Teems.

Based on characters created by series originator John Carpenter and Debra Hill, Halloween Kills and its 2021 follow-up Halloween Ends will be produced by Akkad, Jason Blum and Bill Block. Green, McBride, John Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jeanette Volturno, Couper Samuelson and Ryan Freimann will serve as executive producers, with Ryan Turek overseeing both projects for Blumhouse.

Halloween Kills & Halloween Ends Coming 2020 & 2021

July 19, 2019 by Sean Decker

The net’s been buzzing for months with speculation and rumor surrounding the potential continuation of the Halloween franchise, which was given new life last October via director David Gordon Green’s smash hit feature Halloween, a film which went on to make over $250 million worldwide at the box office.

Well, today the wait is over, as Universal Pictures has announced release dates for two new feature films in the iconic franchise from Trancas International Films, Miramax and Blumhouse Productions: Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends.

The first, titled Halloween Kills, is set for theatrical release on Friday, October 16th, 2020, with Green returning to direct from a script he co-wrote with returning collaborator Danny McBride and newcomer Scott Teems.

The second, Halloween Ends, intended as the finale of the saga, will be released on Friday, October 15th, 2021. Green will direct as well, from a script he co-wrote with McBride and writers new to the series, Paul Brad Logan and Chris Bernier.

Based on characters created by series originator John Carpenter and Debra Hills, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends will be produced by Malek Akkad, Jason Blum and Bill Block. Green, McBride, Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jeanette Volturno, Couper Samuelson and Ryan Freimann will serve as executive producers, with Ryan Turek overseeing both projects for Blumhouse.

The announcement comes on the birthday of late Halloween series producer Moustapha Akkad, of who his son Malek Akkad says, “No one would be more happy or more proud than my father, to see Halloween continue to resonate with fans all over the world.”
