You wanted it… you got it! From director David Gordon Green, Trancas International Films, Miramax and Blumhouse Productions, look for Halloween Kills in theaters and on Peacock on October 15th, 2021, courtesy of Universal Pictures. Trick or treat!
The saga of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode continues in the next thrilling chapter of the Halloween franchise.
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. Additional cast includes James Jude Courtney, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, Robert Longstreet and Anthony Michael Hall.
The official Halloween Kills synopsis from Universal reads: “Minutes after Laurie Strode (Curtis), her daughter Karen (Greer), and granddaughter Allyson (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.”
Produced by Trancas International Films, Miramax and Blumhouse Productions and based on characters created by series originators John Carpenter and Debra Hill, Halloween Kills and its follow-up Halloween Ends (the latter now set for release on October 14, 2022) 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 serve as executive producers.
