Originally, we would’ve already got to see Halloween Kills about a month ago, and Blumhouse held off on moving back the much-anticipated sequel for the longest time. Unfortunately, though, there was just no other course open to them in the end, so now we’ve got another 11 months to wait until it finally hits theaters next October.
This puts the movie in a weird position where we’ve been hyped for it for a while now, meaning that when it eventually arrives, there’s a risk that we’ll be underwhelmed by the pic. Thankfully, though, producer Jason Blum doesn’t see much chance of that happening. While promoting his company’s latest effort, Freaky, he gave a brief comment on Kills to Inverse, promising that audiences will not be disappointed when they get to see it.
“Fans will be very happy, that’s all I’ll say.”

It’s been seven months since we last caught up with the members of Intelligence on Chicago Pd.
Since Episode 20, the world has changed quite drastically with the onset of a global pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement protesting police brutality.
Understandably, this brings into question our favorite police procedural. How will the series handle the unavoidable new realities?
Here’s everything we know as we gear up for Chicago Pd Season 8!
Police Reform
Tackling police brutality is going to be more of an uphill battle for Chicago Pd as Intelligence is known to cross lines and boundaries in the name of justice.
As times are changing, the show needs to address this very real issue. Showrunner Rick Eid told TVInsider that police reform will be at the forefront of the season and it boils down to Sgt. Voight, who has a reputation of being a bit of a “corrupt cop.

Were it not for Covid-19, we’d be enjoying Halloween Kills right now. David Gordon Green’s 2018 reworking of the franchise breathed new life into Michael Myers, ignoring the sequels and positioning itself as a direct continuation of the 1978 original. In 2021, Michael Myers will be back once again (after having escaped being trapped in a burning house) to menace not just Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie Strode, but some old friends from back in the day, too.
Universal released a new promo for the film yesterday teasing the returning characters, which include Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace, Nancy Stephens as Nurse Marion Chambers, Robert Longstreet as Lonnie Elam and Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy Doyle. They all survived Michael’s initial rampage, but something tells me only a few of them will make it into Halloween Ends in 2022.

As Halloween weekend creeps up on us, Blumhouse has dropped a brief teaser trailer to get the blood flowing.
Having pushed back the release a whole year from October 2020 to October 2021 due to the pandemic, the latest tease features the return of some familiar faces.
Previously, both John Carpenter and the film’s director David Gordon Green had penned a letter talking about the delay:
“We write this to you heartbroken over the fact that the delay of our film is even a discussion, but if there’s one thing that a career in the film industry has prepared us for, it is the unexpected.

Today, Blumhouse unveiled a new teaser for Halloween Kills, just a little something to apologize to the fans for them having to wait another full year to see it. Given that we won’t be sitting down to watch the sequel for 12 months, we’ve seen a surprising amount of the movie already, and this promo only offered more. For instance, it revealed our first look at Michael Myers in the film, now worse for wear after his tussle with the Strode women in 2018’s Halloween.
At the 0:24 mark of the video, we get our clearest glimpse of The Shape, and it can be seen that his iconic William Shatner mask is scarred on the left side. This is a result of him being trapped in Laurie’s house, which went up in flames with him inside at the end of the last movie. Laurie’s aim was to...

The first footage from Halloween Kills was unveiled today during Blumfest, a one-day online event focused on new and upcoming movie and TV projects from the Blumhouse production company.
The sequel to 2018’s Halloween, the successful, acclaimed reboot and follow-up to John Carpenter’s original 1978 classic, is bringing back several legacy characters from that movie, with the teaser giving us our first quick glimpses of three of them. Take a look and see if you can spot them!
At approximately :20 in the 36-second trailer, that is Nancy Stephens as Nurse Marion Chambers, who was Dr. Sam Loomis’ assistant in the original Carpenter film and played the role in Halloween II (1981) and Halloween H20 (1998). Although the character died in the latter film, the current Halloween movies pretty much ignore or retcon everything that happened in the sequels, so Marion is back!

We’re just over two weeks away from Halloween, and theaters around the world would usually be packed as horror fans flock to their local multiplex to catch the wave of newest releases specifically designed for the purpose of scaring them out of their seats. 2020 has been far from normal, though, and almost every high-profile movie has fled to next year.
For the longest time, Blumhouse were adamant that Halloween Kills would be arriving in October as scheduled before finally resigning themselves to a delay, and given the title of the franchise, there was no other option but to push it back by a full twelve months. The production company tried to offset the blow by debuting the first teaser trailer, but fans were still devastated by the news.

Who’s the third most prolific star in the Halloween franchise behind only Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence? It’s Danielle Harris, who’s appeared in four installments of the horror series over the decades. The actress played Jamie Lloyd, daughter of Laurie Strode, in Halloweens 4-5 and then turned up as Annie Brackett in Rob Zombie’s reboot movies. To date, though, she’s yet to return for Blumhouse’s films. But Harris would definitely be up for it if she was asked back.
While speaking to ComicBook.com about the potential for her to return in some shape or form, she opened up about her fondness for the Halloween universe and how it feels like coming home, so of course she’d want to be invited back. Even despite her mixed feelings about the recent relaunch.

In the original Halloween, Michael Myers’ second victim is an unnamed mechanic from Phelps Garage. His death occurs off-screen and is very much downplayed, but it wound up being a significant one, having given the Shatner-faced killer his now-iconic overalls.
The murder goes undiscovered and is never mentioned in 1981’s Halloween II. This could almost be considered a minor plothole though considering Donald Pleasence’s Dr. Loomis appears on the scene and carries out an investigation mere feet away from where the mechanic’s body was discarded. Given that Loomis is so certain Myers is on a killing rampage, it makes little sense that he didn’t search the site more thoroughly for casualties after discovering that abandoned truck.
In any case, the garage attendant’s death going undetected was not an oversight by director John Carpenter. As ScreenRant explains perfectly, Loomis failing to spot the corpse was quite intentional,...

Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, the sixth movie in the franchise, is for a number of reasons not an installment remembered fondly. A primary bone of contention is Danielle Harris not reprising her role as Jamie Lloyd, who she had played as a child in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers.
The problem was that although years had passed since the release of the previous movie, Lloyd was only 17 when filming was to begin, making her legally still a minor and thus greatly restricting the number of hours she was able to work. To get around this, Harris went through the process of emancipation at great financial cost to herself, which could have resulted in her participation were it not for further complications.
In the movie, Jamie is killed at the end of the first act, whereupon the focus shifts...

Halloween Kills is set to be even more of an homage to the 1978 slasher classic than its precursor by bringing back other original characters and stars alongside Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie Strode. Kyle Richards, Nancy Stephens and Charles Cyphers are all returning to reprise their roles as Lindsey Wallace, Marion Chambers and former Sheriff Brackett, for instance. Not to mention Anthony Michael Hall is stepping into the part of Tommy Doyle. But there could be an even bigger return on the way, too.
Dark Universe is reporting that their sources, who saw a test screening of Kills back in February, are informing them that none other than Dr. Sam Loomis will feature in the much-anticipated sequel. The site notes that this surprising cameo will occur in a flashback to the events of 1978, when Michael Myers first unleashed terror on Haddonfield, Illinois.

With both the 4-6 timeline – which featured daughter Jamie – and the H20 movies – which included son John – removed from continuity, 2018’s Halloween gave Laurie Strode a new child in the form of Karen Nelson nee Strode, as played by Judy Greer. The movie focused on all three generations of Strode women – Laurie, Karen and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) – as they faced off against Michael Myers. And they’ll do it again in upcoming sequel Halloween Kills.
One big question was left unanswered in the last film, though, when it comes to Karen: Who’s her dad? If you were thinking this would be cleared up in Kills, think again, as we actually just got the answer. Blumhouse recently hosted a watch party for the 2019 movie, with director David Gordon Green answering questions via the studio’s Twitter account.

A number of fascinating tidbits emerged, too, including a status report on the Halloween Kills trailer and the one moment that rendered Jamie Lee Curtis speechless. Curtis is, of course, Laurie Strode, the only person capable of halting Michael’s killing spree.

Not only did it become the first installment in the franchise since John Carpenter’s classic 40 years prior to receive widespread acclaim, but it also became the highest-grossing Halloween movie by a country mile, earning over $100 million more at the box office than Rob Zombie’s 2007 remake, which previously held the top spot.

It's been a hot minute since we got a Kevin Atwater-focused episode, but it wasn't surprising that he found himself torn and conflicted after being thrust into yet another black vs. blue debate.
Atwater's situation on Chicago Pd Season 7 Episode 20 connected back to his undercover work on Chicago Pd Season 6 Episode 13 while serving as the perfect ending to a shortened season.
Atwater has always known that when it comes to matters of black versus blue, there's a bit of a gray area that doesn't lean in his favor.
While I've been wanting the series to give Atwater the ability to explore different moral conflicts, at the same time, the episode was so powerful and relevant, that I can't bring myself to complain.
It also sets up an interesting dynamic moving forward as it pins Atwater (with the backing of Intelligence) against high-ranking officials in the police force.

While it might seem odd to make a movie out of the Halloween Horror Nights, which are effectively theme park adaptations of classic horror properties, this doesn’t seem to be stopping the unstoppable Jason Blum and Blumhouse Productions from considering the idea. It was floated to Blum and Ike Barinholtz by Collider as part of an interview for The Hunt, and it seems that Blumhouse could feasibly make this a reality, alongside the many other projects they have on their slate right now.
When asked during the interview about the prospect, Blum was enthusiastic about a Halloween Horror Nights picture, commenting as so:

Who would’ve thought they could squeeze more juice out of the Halloween franchise? Then again, when you get the original scream queen, Jamie Lee Curtis, to return, the fans will likely return as well and they certainly did, as 2018’s reboot was a massive success, earning more than $250 million at the domestic box office.
The ending to the film implied that that was it, though. No more Michael Myers. Although, doesn’t every Halloween movie end that way? Yes, Michael is never really gone for long and we’re now getting not one but two more sequels from Curtis and director David Gordon Green. Halloween Kills arrives later this year and Halloween Ends releases in October of 2021.
But we don’t have to wait that long to see a sneak peek of what the first sequel might look like, as Billy Crammer, fan-trailer editor extraordinaire, has another excellent preview for us.

Like virtually every other big-name horror franchise that has ever existed, Halloween is no stranger to the law of diminishing returns. The series may span eleven entries dating back to John Carpenter’s classic 1978 original, but nobody managed to recapture the terrifying magic of Michael Myers until the unlikely duo of David Gordon Green and Danny McBride brought one of cinema’s most famous serial killers roaring back to life with their 2018 effort, which retconned all of the other sequels and reboots to act as a spiritual successor to the first installment.
It was the franchise’s best-reviewed movie in 40 years and also went on to make over $255 million at the global box office, which is over three times more than the previous highest-grossing Halloween movie could manage. Naturally, when a horror film turns into a commercial success, sequels are announced, and sure enough it was revealed that Gordon Green...

This Halloween, Michael Myers is returning to wreak havoc in Haddonfield, Illinois for the umpteenth time. Blumhouse successfully relaunched the slasher franchise back in October 2018, with their take on the Halloween universe being stretched out into a trilogy over the next couple of years. With Halloween Ends arriving in 2021, this year we have Halloween Kills. And we can apparently expect a movie with a huge scale.
Speaking to Too Fab, producer Jason Blum had a few brief words to offer about the sequel, which will see Jamie Lee Curtis coming back once more as Michael’s eternal enemy Laurie Strode.
“Halloween Kills is a very Big movie,” Blum told Too Fab. “The canvas of Halloween Kills is very large.”

A reboot of 1998 slasher flick Urban Legend is going ahead, to be directed by Grave Encounters’ Colin Minihan. The story follows the members of a university folklore class who become targeted by a killer recreating tales from contemporary mythology.
The movie was one of multiple slasher films released in the wake of Scream that led to a resurgence in the subgenre along with postmodern metafictional satire of it. It wasn’t received fondly by critics, but made a reasonable profit at the box office and is now considered something of a cult classic among horror fans.
Unlike many remakes, this new Urban Legend won’t be a completely uninspired retread and will update the concept for a modern audience by utilizing myths that perpetuate online. As the official description puts it, it will feature “urban legends linked to the darkest corners of social media.” This means that tales such as the Killer in the Backseat,...

“They’re creepy and they’re spooky, they’re ominous and ooky, they’re all together cooky, the Myers’ family!” Wait, did I mix my horror theme songs up? Damn, I hope Michael ain’t angry that I messed up. I wouldn’t want to become the victim of Halloween Kills, you know? Good thing I sang quietly.
Even if I sang loudly, though, apparently, per Michael Myers actor/stuntman James Jude Courtney, my voice would be drowned out by the film itself. Okay, not literally, but maybe viscerally.
The man under the mask has promised that the upcoming sequel to 2018’s smash hit is going to be way more intense than what we got last time. Just check out what he said specifically when sitting down with Pop Culture With Pat:

For many horror fans, David Gordon Green’s Halloween was one of 2018’s most pleasant surprises, drawing positive reviews from fans and critics alike while raking in more money at the box office than any other slasher movie to date.
Expectations are therefore unusually high for this year’s Halloween Kills, and as we wait for the first proper trailer to drop, Wgtc presents a fan-made video that anticipates the return of Michael Myers and the young Allyson Nelson.
Comprising footage and audio from Michael’s previous big screen outings, the unofficial trailer, viewable above, puts the spotlight on Laurie Strode’s daughter, played once more by Andi Matichak in the upcoming sequel. Naturally, Laurie herself also returns to the fray, with Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her role, while the part of Michael is split between James Jude Courtney and Nick Castle.

David Gordon Green’s forthcoming slasher film Halloween Kills is set to continue the story of Laurie Strode, the former sister of Michael Myers and sole survivor of his initial spree of killings in Haddonfield, Illinois. Laurie’s genealogical relationship to Michael was revealed in Rick Rosenthal’s 1981 sequel Halloween II, a movie that was retconned away and replaced by Green’s 2018 film Halloween, which was itself both a direct legacy sequel to the 1978 Compass International classic as well as the opening installment of a new Halloween trilogy by Blumhouse Productions, who acquired the rights to the franchise after Dimension Films let them lapse following Rob Zombie’s 2009 sequel to his 2007 reboot.

Blumhouse successfully relaunched the Halloween franchise back in 2018 and now, after a year out, Michael Myers is returning once again this October for the first half of a massive two-part finale that promises to end the saga of Myers vs. Laurie Strode once and for all.
Halloween Kills will again star Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie, with another character from the 1978 original featuring, too: Tommy Doyle, once the young boy babysat by Laurie when the Shape attacked. As fans will know, Paul Rudd first played an adult Tommy back in 1995’s Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. Since then, of course, Rudd’s career has exploded and he was unable to reprise his role in Kills due to his prior commitment to Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
Instead, Anthony Michael Hall is taking over the part. And it turns out he was given Rudd’s blessing. Hall revealed this fun tidbit while speaking on the Fantasm Podcast,...

Everyone knows Jamie Lee Curtis is the star of the Halloween franchise, but she’s actually only been in about half of the 13 installments in the saga. Curtis debuted as beleaguered babysitter Laurie Strode in 1978’s Halloween, returning for Halloween II before she left behind Haddonfield until 1997’s Halloween: H20 and its follow-up Resurrection. 2018’s reboot then brought her back into the fold and the upcoming Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends will apparently conclude Laurie’s battle with Michael Myers for good.
There’s actually another Halloween movie that Curtis turns up in though that’s often forgotten. Partly because of its outlier status in the franchise and also because of the easily-missed nature of the actress’ role. I’m referring to 1982’s Halloween III: Season of the Witch, the only entry in the series to date not to feature The Shape, as John Carpenter thought he could transform Halloween into an anthology franchise,...

How do you breathe new life into a horror franchise that’s had a bit of a difficult time in recent years? Easy: you produce a sequel that honors the original but also wipes out all other movies in the Halloween timeline.
That’s basically what David Gordon Green and co-writer Danny McBride did with their 2018 effort, which won over both fans and critics after it took the iconic legacy of Michael Myers in a refreshing new direction. It was a difficult balancing act that they were tasked with, but they clearly pulled it off and now, the franchise’s future is brighter than ever.

Just like all the major slasher franchises, the Halloween series has been all over the place. Most start off strong, like the 1978 original, but by the middle, they’re running out of ideas and try, desperately, to inject some fresh blood into a dying property. Friday the 13th tried it when they swapped main villain Jason Voorhees out for a spurned ambulance driver in the fifth installment, A New Beginning, Freddy Krueger pursued a Dream Child for a few films and, for Halloween 5, Jamie Lloyd was almost the new killer.
As we’re all aware, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers had the second-best ending of any movie in the franchise. Dr. Loomis breaking down and shrieking “No!” over and over again after seeing a blood-covered Jamie Lloyd wielding a pair of scissors, repeating the cycle of violence that will forever curse the Myers bloodline, is devastating every time.

2018’s Halloween breathed new life into Michael Myers, making for a critical and box office smash that took the franchise in a fresh direction while paying tribute to its past. Buoyed up by its success, Blumhouse have commissioned back-to-back sequels: Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends. They’ll be released around Halloween 2020 and 2021, but have both been shooting over the last few months. And making his debut in the franchise with these films is The Haunting of Hill House and Doctor Sleep star Robert Longstreet, who’ll play Lonnie Elam.
Longtime Halloween fans will remember Lonnie from the original movie, in which he bullies Tommy Wallace, who Laurie Strode was tasked with babysitting. Later in the film, he was dared to enter the Myers house, where he would probably have met a gruesome end if Dr. Loomis hadn’t scared him away. Since then, the character hasn’t turned up in the franchise,...

Horror’s having a bit of a heyday these days. I mean, that spooky It flick made big bucks at the box office and the recent Halloween sequel/continuity eraser also cleaned up on the silver screen. While David Gordon Green wound up making the version we got, we could’ve almost had Mike Flanagan, of the recent Doctor Sleep, behind the camera, and he had one very interesting idea for the film.
During a recent sit down with Bloody Disgusting, the director revealed that he was approached by Blumhouse after they acquired the rights to the spooky series. Per Flanagan himself, the process didn’t go too great, though, with the director saying the following about it:
“I’m … so glad it did not come to me because the only note that I had scribbled over three days of brainstorming was ‘Dr. Loomis a woman?’ That’s as far as I got on Halloween.

Mike Flanagan, whose Doctor Sleep represents one of the best Stephen King movies of recent years, has been discussing his ideas for taking on various franchises. We’ve already looked at how the director could tackle A Nightmare on Elm Street, which is taking new pitches, but it seems that Flanagan also has his eye on another classic film series.
When interviewed by Bloody Disgusting, Flanagan revealed his idea for a new Halloween movie, and it sounds pretty compelling. Before David Gordon Green took over the franchise with last year’s surprise hit, soon to be followed by two sequels, Flanagan was reportedly on a shortlist of directors being considered by Blumhouse to take on the project. And here, he explains how this short-lived idea played out:

We all know kids watch horror films. No matter how much responsible adults try to warn them against such R-rated flicks, chances are they’ll just want to watch them more. We’re not here to blame. We were young once, too, after all.
With that in mind, Halloween “Scream Queen” Jamie Lee Curtis – who recently celebrated her 61st birthday – spoke out about how she doesn’t want children to be exposed to the classic horror series. Now, it appears she’s gone one further in a recent appearance on CinemaBlend’s podcast.
According to the outlet, Curtis has been rather blunt about how she feels towards parents who allow their children to watch Halloween. She addressed concerns that young kids wouldn’t be able to handle the film’s depictions of violence and seems dumbfounded when parents express their delight that their children are fans.
