When 2018’sHalloweenended, I was content. I said, “Okay, that’s enough, no more sequels!” It’s not that I didn’t want more — of course I did, I love theHalloweenfranchise. But I also felt that the end of that film finally gave Laurie Strode the closure she needed. But who was I kidding? The minute they announced not one, but two newHalloweensequels, I immediately changed my mind. I am a simp for this franchise, folks.

Halloween Killspicks up almost immediately where the last film left off – on Halloween night. The ending ofHalloweenhad Laurie Strode, her daughter, and her granddaughter seemingly vanquishing Michael Myers and then escaping Laurie’s burning house. When we last saw them they were in the back of a pick-up truck. But of course, Michael survived. And he’s probably pissed about the whole “being set on fire” thing.

In addition to another return from Laurie Strode,Halloween Killsalso brings back several characters from John Carpenter’s 1978 original film: Leigh Brackett, the former sheriff of Haddonfield who lost his daughter in the original film; Tommy Doyle and Lindsey Wallace, the kids Laurie babysat in the original film who are all grown-up now; and Marion Chambers, the nurse who worked with Dr. Loomis in the 1978 movie.

A Community in Chaos

“It takes place the same night, picking up where the last movie ended,“Halloween KillsdirectorDavid Gordon Greensaid. “Events in the film bring together a lot of characters who were in the 1978 film who we didn’t see last time. They gather to try, once and for all, to take down Michael, to stop this madman… The [2018 movie] was more about Laurie’s life of isolation after Michael and her attempts at revenge. It was personal. This is more about the unraveling of a community into chaos. It’s about how fear spreads virally.”
