Michael Myers is slashing his way back to theaters this fall in the highly anticipated Halloween Kills, the sequel to David Gordon Green‘s own take on Halloween that reconned all sequels and continues the story of Jamie Lee Curtis‘ Laurie Strode some 40 years later.
The Forever Purge opens in theaters next week and with it comes attached the full trailer for Halloween Kills, which is incredibly violent, setting Michael loose on a team of firefighters who are called to the fire that raged over the final moments of the previous film. The trailer is long, brutal, and features quite a few Easter eggs including the iconic masks from Halloween III: Season of the Witch!
Also, in an interesting move, Laurie Strode returns to the hospital setting from the retconned original sequel. Check it out below…
We’ve also added a brand new poster and official synopsis below!
Official Halloween Kills Synopsis:
“And the Halloween night when Michael Myers returned isn’t over yet.
Minutes after Laurie Strode (Curtis), her daughter Karen (Judy Greer) and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) left masked monster Michael Myers caged and burning in Laurie’s basement, Laurie is rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, believing she finally killed her lifelong tormentor.
But when Michael manages to free himself from Laurie’s trap, his ritual bloodbath resumes. As Laurie fights her pain and prepares to defend herself against him, she inspires all of Haddonfield to rise up against their unstoppable monster.
The Strode women join a group of other survivors of Michael’s first rampage who decide to take matters into their own hands, forming a vigilante mob that sets out to hunt Michael down, once and for all.
Evil dies tonight.”
Halloween Kills brings back Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak and Robert Longstreet, with original Halloween actor Charles Cyphers returning as Sheriff Leigh Brackett.
Anthony Michael Hall also stars in the new film as Tommy Doyle, with the returning Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace and Nancy Stephens as Nurse Marion Chambers.
The current release date for Halloween Kills is October 15, 2021, only in theaters.
