‘Halloween Kills’ Has Officially Been Bumped to October 2021 [Teaser]

John Carpenter has taken to social media this afternoon to make the unfortunate (but expected) announcement that Halloween Kills is no longer releasing this Halloween season.

Instead, the sequel to 2018’s Halloween will now release on October 15, 2021.

An official statement penned by John Carpenter and director David Gordon Green reads, “If we release it in October of this year as planned, we have to face the reality that the film would be consumed in a compromised theatrical experience. After weighing our options, we have chosen to push the film’s theatrical release by one year.”

Read the full statement and check out a brief teaser for Halloween Kills below. The film is set to pick up directly after Halloween 2018, and the clip picks up where we left off…

In a perfect world, the plan was for Halloween Kills to release in 2020 and for trilogy-ender Halloween Ends to release one year later, in 2021. Alas, this world is far from a perfect one.

Halloween Ends will now release on October 14, 2022.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
