Halloween Ends is the concluding chapter in David Gordon Green’s Halloween Trilogy, which ignores every single movie in the series except for John Carpenter’s original Halloween (1978). But while the movie is being touted as a “showdown” between Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney), there’s really no telling what might happen in the upcoming sequel. And though it will indeed conclude the new series of Halloween movies, producer Jason Blum recently confirmed that there would be more movies, as did the original film’s director John Carpenter. Now, just a month after the trailer premiered, Fandango has exclusively revealed a new image of Michael Myers from Halloween Ends, which they shared on their Twitter account. Check it out below:
It’s certainly an unsettling image, and it looks like Michael is making his way up the stairs at an unknown Haddonfield residence, though it could be in line with a scene in the new trailer in which he stalks Laurie through her home. As per Blumhouse Pictures (via Wikipedia), here’s the official synopsis for Halloween Ends, the final chapter in David Gordon Green’s Halloween Trilogy: Four years after the events of Halloween Kills, Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson after the death of her parents. Laurie has decided to take all the fear and rage, she has been holding onto for the last 4 decades and write a memoir which is almost completed. Michael Myers has once again disappeared and hasn’t been seen since. This time Laurie has decided to liberate her fear and rage and embrace life with open arms. All is quiet in Haddonfield, but when a young man, Corey Cunningham, is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she couldn’t control, once and for all. Check out the official trailer for Halloween Ends below, which promises an epic showdown between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers: Halloween Ends stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Will Patton, Andi Matichak, and James Jude Courtney, and Kyle Richards, who will be reprising their roles as Laurie Strode, Frank Hawkins, Allyson Nelson, Michael Myers, and Lindsey Wallace. Newcomers include Rohan Campbell (Corey Cunningham), Michael O’Leary (Dr. Mathis), while original Michael Myers actor Nick Castle is also expected to reprise his role as the killer (in part), having done so in both previous movies. The film will be released in theaters on October 14, 2022 by Universal Pictures. And like its predecessor Halloween Kills, it will also dual-release simultaneously in theaters and on the US streaming service Peacock.
