The Halloween franchise is one of the horror genre’s most famous series of films, with the central villain in each one being the masked killer Michael Myers.
According to star Jamie Lee Curtis, who will show up in the series’ new film Halloween Ends, Myers won’t be the only threat this time around, and instead will be a sudden and shocking one.
The new information was shared in behind-the-scenes footage, although many of these things may be taken differently considering their context going into the October 14th release date.
“It’s a movie about a final reckoning … between Laurie and Michael,” Curtis stated during the featurette. “There is a battle between them, and the irony is that the 2018 and 2021 movies were about a woman who was prepared for Michael. Every day of her life, since she was 17 years old. This is a movie where she’s actually moved on. Because Laurie doesn’t see Michael coming. And that’s a very different result. So the fight with Michael is much more violent, unexpected, and it has to be like a street brawl.”
“This movie, this other character comes in that she’s concerned about, but she’s not thinking about Michael. And then Michael comes back. And so the fight was an unexpected fight.”
Curtis’ character, Laurie, according to Curtis is “concerned” with another individual, a character who could be a potential threat in the film. She talks about how this connects to the film’s opening scene.
“The opening of this movie is every parent’s worst nightmare. This is a babysitter with a child on Halloween night, that goes terribly wrong. It’s so crazy intense.”
As the movie is described: “Four years after the events of last year’s Halloween kills, Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson and is finishing writing her memoir. Michael Myers hasn’t been seen since. Laurie, after allowing the specter of Michael to determine and drive her reality for decades, has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life. But when a young man, Corey Cunningham, is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all.”
The movie will be coming to cinema screen and Peacock on October 14th.
