David Gordon Green has shared a terrifying new image fromHalloween Kills. In addition, the director has teased some more information about the highly anticipated sequel. The movie, which hits theaters this October, takes place directly after the events of 2018’sHalloweenwith Michael Myers surviving Laurie Strode’s house fire trap. The killer’s breathing was teased after the credits rolled, letting the world know that more installments in theHalloweenfranchise were on the way.
The newHalloween Killsimage comes to us from Empire magazine. They describe the picture ofMichael Myersas “a dangerous horrifying maniac leaving a white house,” which might be the perfect description. Myers is seen leaving Laurie Strode’s burning home after she trapped him down in the basement and safely escaped with her family. It is evident now, maybe more so than ever, that Michael Myers just cannot be killed. This is definitely not good news for Laurie Strode and her family.
In a new interview, David Gordon Green teased what horror fans can expect withHalloween Kills. As it turns out, the director, along with co-writers Scott Teems and Danny McBride, decided to touch on some current events this time around. “This film is about community fear, paranoia, misinformation and crowd panic,” Green revealed. “This movie is a great popcorn genre movie and not really any kind of statement, but it’s strange how things line up. It couldn’t be a more interesting time to release a movie like this.” Green did not go into further detail, but the intel he did share should be enough to get horror fans excited for theOctober release date.
