Halloween is the perfect time to relax and eat some candy (as long as it’s not candy corn.) It’s also one of the most recognizable films of all time. Everyone remembers Michael Meyers’s iconic pale, white mask, usually accompanied by a bloody kitchen knife. Halloween was released in 1978 and received many poorly-reviewed sequels in the decades that followed.

In 2018, these sequels were ignored in favor of a film that would be the follow-up to the original. This film was Halloween, and it garnered millions of dollars at the box office and critical praise. Because of this success, it was decided that a sequel titled Halloween Kills would be made.

This movie is unique because it unites many characters from the original 1978 film and the actors who played them. Kyle Richards appeared in the original as an 8-year-old girl, but she will return in Halloween Kills as an older version of Lindsey Wallace. Nancy Stephens played Nurse Marion Chambers in the original and some of the sequels. She will also return for Halloween Kills. Jamie Lee Curtis will, of course, return as Laurie Strode.

The plot revolves around the fictional town of Haddonfield, Illinois, as it fights back against Michael Myers as he returns for yet another killing spree. Her daughter and granddaughter will assist Laurie in this fight. The film has been finished for almost two years now, but it was delayed due to the pandemic.
