HALLOWEEN KILLS Will Be Debuted in Theaters and on Peacock on the Same Day
Universal Pictures has announced that director David Gordon Green’s Halloween Kills will now debut in theaters and on the Peacock streaming service on the same day, which is October 15th. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by the news, but I will be going to see this film in theaters because I’ve got to support the theatrical movie-going experience. You do whatever you’re comfortable with.
The movie will be available to Peacock Premium subscribers at no extra fee. The service launched in 2020 and runs at $4.99 per month for its ad-supported tier or $9.99 without advertisements.
In the film, “minutes after Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee 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.”
The movie was directed by David Gordon Green, and it also stars also stars Will Patton as Officer Frank Hawkins, Thomas Mann (Kong: Skull Island), Michael Myers actors Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney will also come back to their shared role. The film also includes Kyle Richards returning as Lindsey Wallace, Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy Doyle, and Nancy Stephens who will reprise her role as Nurse Marion. Then, of course, there’s Anthony Michael Hall in the role of Tommy Doyle.
