It’s Halloween! The perfect day for some Halloween movie news! Jamie Lee Curtis has shared a video for all of us to enjoy that gives us a first look at the mayhem that’s in store for director David Gordon Green’s Halloween Kills.
It’s a fun glimpse at what we can expect from the film, and I for one am excited! I liked the last movie that was made and it’ll be interesting to see how these next two sequels, which are being shot back-to-back, turn out!

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 Kyle Richards retuning as Lindsey Wallace; Anthony Michael as Tommy Doyle, Robert Longstreet who will be back as Lonnie Elam, and Nancy Stephens will reprise her role as Nurse Marion.
When previously talking about the 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 follows one year later on October 15, 2021.
