What Else Should You Know About Halloween Kills?
The twelfth installment in the Halloween franchise, “Halloween Kills” picks up right where the last one left off. On Halloween night, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), her daughter and granddaughter believe they’ve finally vanquished the terrifying masked figure, Michael Myers — but the rest of us know better.
Here’s the official “Halloween Kills” synopsis.
In 2018, David Gordon Green’s Halloween, starring icon Jamie Lee Curtis, killed at the box office, earning more than $250 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing chapter in the four-decade franchise and setting a new record for the biggest opening weekend in history for a horror film starring a woman. And the Halloween night when Michael Myers returned isn’t over yet.
Minutes after Laurie Strode (Curtis), her daughter Karen (Judy Greer) and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) left masked monster Michael Myers caged and burning in Laurie’s basement, Laurie is rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, believing she finally killed her lifelong tormentor. But when Michael manages to free himself from Laurie’s trap, his ritual bloodbath resumes. As Laurie fights her pain and prepares to defend herself against him, she inspires all of Haddonfield to rise up against their unstoppable monster. The Strode women join a group of other survivors of Michael’s first rampage who decide to take matters into their own hands, forming a vigilante mob that sets out to hunt Michael down, once and for all. Evil dies tonight.
“Halloween Kills” stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, Will Patton, Anthony Michael Hall, James Jude Courtney, Nick Castle, Kyle Richards, Charles Cyphers, Dylan Arnold and Nancy Stephens. The movie is directed by David Gordon Green, who also helmed 2018’s “Halloween.” And if you weren’t already aware, he’ll be back to the franchise with another sequel, already titled “Halloween Ends.”
