‘Halloween Ends’ Trailer is Meant to Get Us Excited, Apparently

Masked murderer Michael Myers takes novel stab at Jamie Lee Curtis in the trailer for Halloween Ends. More than 40 existences after first facing each other in John Carpenter’s classic slasher flick, the pair get to grips with each other in a teaser that suggests their next crusades will be up close and personal — although it doesn’t tell us much near whether the film will actually offer anything new over the countless remaining Halloween movies.

The new film jumps ahead four existences after the events of 2021’s Halloween Kills. Curtis once in contradiction of plays slasher survivor Laurie Strode, who’s writing her yarn to put the fear and trauma of the past gradual her. Then a young man is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, and all hell breaks loose yet again. None of this is in the lackluster trailer, however, which relies on the familiar.

Halloween Ends is the third and apparently remaining film in the current iteration of the long-running Halloween franchise. It’s in theaters Oct. 14.

Will Patton, Andi Matichak, Rohan Campbell and Kyle Richards also star, with James Jude Courtney as The Shape (also famed as Michael Myers). David Gordon Green once again directs and co-writes with Paul Brad Logan, Chris Bernier and Danny McBride.
