HALLOWEEN KILLS Wraps Production and a Photo of Tommy Doyle and Lindsey Wallace Has Been Shared
Director David Gordon Green has wrapped production on Halloween Kills, and to celebrate the occasion, a photo from the set of the film was shared. In that photo is a shot of the monitor giving us our first look at Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy Doyle and Kyle Richards returning as Lindsey Wallace. They are playing the grown-up adult versions of the kids that were terrorized in the original 1978 film.

Jamie Lee Curtis shared a video from the set of the film last week to celebrate Halloween. In case you missed that, you can check it out here. It’s a fun little tease to get fans excited.
Judy Greer and Andi Matichak are also set to reprise their roles in the next two Halloween sequels. Michael Myers actors Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney will also come back to their shared role. The film also includes Robert Longstreet, who will be back as Lonnie Elam, and Nancy Stephens will reprise her role as Nurse Marion.
When previously talking about the film, Curtis explained that these next two sequels are going to “unpack the first movie” and will examine the “cultural phenomenon of violence” as well as trauma.
“What I love that David and [co-writer] Danny [McBride] and company did is they connected the dots for forty years, now they’re going back to really unpack the first movie, bringing back all those characters whose lives were affected by what happened in 1978.”
“The ass-kicking part is the fan-favorite part, but from my standpoint, I didn’t go into it because I got to kick Michael’s bottom. I was particularly drawn because it was a movie about trauma. We have horror movies that are horrific and we have these horrific events take place, but we leave the movie theater and then we complain that the dishwasher doesn’t work. The trauma that occurs for these character for forty years, I felt was very important that David understood that and was really giving Laurie great honor to acknowledge that her experience of her life was very challenged.”
She then adds:
“And then kick his ass. And then you realize that it, in fact, was all like a spider’s web, but in order to go to the spider’s web, you also had to see the fragile person. And I was grateful that that was the angel. I think that if from the opening section I was kicking butt, it wouldn’t have had the emotional reaction that people actually had.”
Universal and Blumhouse will release Halloween Kills on October 16, 2020, and Halloween Ends will follow one year later on October 15, 2021.
