Halloween trailer: Michael Myers and Jamie Lee Curtis face off

Michael Myers is back — and his recent victim is ready and waiting.

This is the top-notch trailer for the latest reboot of John Carpenter’s classic 1978 slasher movie, in which masked murderer Michael Myers once again terrorises the suburbs. The new movie, co-written by Danny McBride and pursued by David Gordon Green, disregards the many, many survive sequels and picks up 40 years later as journalists phoned the killer in prison — which doesn’t end well for anyone, obviously.

But the original movie’s young star Jamie Lee Curtis also returns, and her scarred survivor Laurie Strode is determined to bring a gun to a slasher struggles. What happens when unstoppable psycho meets immovable survivor?  

Produced by panic behemoth Blumhouse, Halloween is set for release — when else? — in October.
