‘Halloween Ends’: Actor Michael O’Leary Reveals He’ll Be Playing a Character Who Was Mentioned in ‘Halloween Kills’
The final film in David Gordon Green‘s trilogy, Halloween Ends is currently dated for October 14, 2022, which means filming is going to have to begin… well, really, really soon.
From what we gather, on that note, filming is set to begin here in January 2022 on the new movie, which has seemingly been confirmed by one of the film’s actors this week.
Michael O’Leary from “Law & Order: Organized Crime” reveals on Twitter this week that his “official first day” on the movie is January 27, which lines up with other info we’ve heard.
Additionally, O’Leary reveals on his personal account that he’ll be playing a character named “Doctor Mathis” in Halloween Ends, who was briefly mentioned in Halloween Kills.
David Gordon Green has recently teased that there will be a four-year time jump from the events of Kills to the events of Ends, and Kyle Richards will be back as Lindsey Wallace.
We’ll have more on Halloween Ends soon. Stay tuned. In the meantime, you can stream a four-hour breakdown on this past October’s Halloween Kills by our very own Halloweenies podcast. Catch it after the tweet.

Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
