David Gordon Green's 2018 slasher film "Halloween," a direct sequel to John Carpenter's 1978 slasher film also called "Halloween," famously ignored the nine "Halloween" sequels and remakes made from 1981 to 2009. The original film starred Jamie Lee Curtis as a teenage babysitter named Laurie Strode who ran afoul of a mysterious, silent masked killer named Michael Myers. In the original "Halloween II," it was revealed that Laurie was Michael's long-lost sister, a conceit Green would handily abandon for his 2018 update. Instead, Laurie was, 40 years later, still wounded by the events of the 1978 film, and had become a ragged survivalist, outfitting her home with booby traps and training herself how to use weapons in the off chance that Michael should ever escape the local mental institution and begin his killing spree again. Perhaps predictably, that very thing happens.
Green's "Halloween" ends with Laurie trapping Michael in a burning building, seemingly to die forever.

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. They’re unable to say how the filmmakers resurrected...
