One of this year’s biggest treats will no doubt be seeing Jamie Lee Curtis back in the role of Laurie Strode for David Gordon Green’s Halloween, a direct sequel to John Carpenter’s classic that proposes an interesting question: what if *nothing* past the original Halloween ever actually happened? And what if Michael comes back home?
According to her posts on social media, Jamie Lee Curtis has just wrapped filming on the new Halloween, which had been shooting in Charleston, South Carolina.
We’re thinking the shoot itself is soon coming to a close, if it hasn’t already wrapped.
Michael returns home on October 19, 2018.

Judy Greer plays Karen Strode, Laurie’s daughter, while Andi Matichak landed the coveted role of the film’s young lead (daughter to Greer and granddaughter to Curtis).
The cast also includes Virginia “Ginny” Gardner (Project Almanac, Marvel’s “Runaways”), Miles Robbins (Mozart in the Jungle, My Friend Dahmer), Dylan Arnold (Mudbound, Laggies, When We Rise), and Drew Scheid (“Stranger Things”, The War with Grandpa). They will be playing the friends of Matichak’s Allyson.
Nick Castle will return to the role of Michael Myers, while stunt performer and actor James Jude Courtney has also been cast to play Myers!
Will Patton has been cast to play a cop. Rob Niter will play a member of the Warren County Sheriff’s Department. Rhian Rees is playing a character named Dana.
In Halloween, co-written by Danny McBride, “Laurie Strode comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.”
