‘Halloween Kills’: Fresh Look at Michael Myers from the Film’s Flashback to the 1970s
It’s no secret that Halloween Kills will feature flashbacks to the events of John Carpenter’s original Halloween, with a young Michael Myers glimpsed in the most recent trailer. The film, after all, is largely about the survivors of the original classic’s events coming together to take out Michael Myers once and for all, including Tommy Doyle and Lindsey Wallace.
Also in the mix is Lonnie Elam, being played in Halloween Kills by Robert Longstreet (“Midnight Mass”). Lonnie, a minor character from the original, will return through a flashback to his childhood as well, giving us a look at the terror he endured when he encountered Michael Myers all those years ago. And some of that footage is on display in a new featurette today.
Perhaps most notably, the flashback footage from the featurette gives us a nice clear look at “1970s Michael Myers” from Halloween Kills, which should put a smile on your face.

Halloween Kills comes to theaters and Peacock on October 15.
After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
