Halloween just came early for horror fans with a treat of a trailer for Halloween Ends – showcasing the final confrontation between Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and serial killer Michael Myers that will (assumedly) leave only one standing when the credits roll.
Place your bets.
The new trailer is a fast-slash, look-back at the Halloween franchise (sans SOTW III) but also features a sneak peek at the final battle between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers that began back in 1978 with the seminal John Carpenter film Halloween.
Halloween Ends is also the culmination of the new Halloween trilogy and a character study of the physical and emotional damage wrought upon three generations of Strode women by boogeyman Myers.
Aside Curtis, the film also stars Andi Matichak, Will Patton, Kyle Richards, Omar Dorsey, Nick Castle (the original Michael Myers) and James Jude Courtney.
The official synopsis says; Halloween Ends is set four years after last year’s Halloween Kills and features Laurie living with her granddaughter Allyson (Matichak) and working on her memoir when a murder begins a new string of terror.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Director David Gordon Green describes the film by saying;
“[Halloween Ends is] very different in tone from Halloween [2018] and Halloween Kills, and I think that’s part of my self-indulgence. I very often jump around in genres and explore different themes and characters through movies,” Green said at the time. “I just came up with a new twist ending on the ending that existed a couple weeks ago, and that’s something that only I hold the piece of paper that has those words on it.”
Halloween Ends, the final film in director Green’s Halloween trilogy, is scheduled to slash its way into theaters on October 14th.
