Laurie Strode and Michael Myers have been playing cat-and-mouse around Haddonfield for over 40 years, so the final poster for October’s Halloween Ends has decided to throw them together in a pose ordinarily reserved for a 90s Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson rom-com in order to let audiences know that this is it, this is the End.
As well as featuring the two icons of horror, the poster also carries the detail that Halloween Ends will follow the same pattern as its predecessor by becoming a day-and-date simultaneous release in cinemas and on NBC’s streaming service Peacock.
Despite being a hybrid release Halloween Kills still managed to make $92M at the domestic box-office, but this is no doubt a huge blow to cinema chains at a time when multiplexes are bereft of new content.
Set four years after the events of the disappointing Halloween Kills, this finds Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) living a more positive life with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak), but when a young man, Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell), is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it triggers a cascade of violence and terror that will force the original scream queen to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all.
Halloween Ends is directed by Halloween 2018 and Halloween Kills‘ David Gordon Green from a screenplay by Green, Danny McBride, Paul Brad Logan and Chris Bernier. Featuring in the cast are Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, Andi Matichak as Allyson Nelson, James Jude Courtney and Nick Castle as The Shape, Rohan Campbell as Corey Cunningham, Kyle Richard as Lindsey Wallace, Michael O’Leary as Dr. Mathis and Omar Dorsey as Sheriff Barker.
Halloween Ends arrives in cinemas and streams on Peacock from October 14th, 2022.
