The final Halloween Ends trailer has been released. The two-minute video continues to build up the final showdown between Laurie Strode against Michael Myers.
“In this unexpected final chapter, set four years after the events of last year’s Halloween Kills, Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) and is finishing writing her memoir,” says the synopsis. “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 (Rohan Campbell), 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.”

Described as a more contained movie, Halloween Ends will once again be directed by David Gordon Green. Joining Curtis are returning stars Andi Matichak as Allyson Nelson, Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace, and Will Patton as Deputy Frank Hawkins.
Set in 2022, the story is expected to feature a four-year time jump after the events of the first two films. Green previously revealed that the threequel will most likely include some real-world events, such as the pandemic.
In 2018, the horror franchise was rebooted by Blumhouse with a direct sequel to John Carpenter’s 1978 film. It featured Curtis’ return as Laurie Strode 16 years after appearing in Rick Rosenthal’s Halloween: Resurrection. The 2018 Halloween film had earned positive reviews from critics and fans, with a worldwide gross of over $250 million. Because of this, the studio immediately ordered two sequels, Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends.
