Spoiler Alert: This story discusses major plot points from “Halloween Ends,” which is now playing in theaters and available to stream on Peacock.
Billed as the finale to a landmark horror franchise, “Halloween Ends” was marketed with little more than the promise of a final match-up between remorseless serial killer Michael Myers and his lifelong victim Laurie Strode, played again by Jamie Lee Curtis. But many viewers were shocked to discover much more than a marquee showdown when director David Gordon Green’s horror film released last weekend. There’s also young love, a bunch of laughs and a fresh threat facing the town of Haddonfield — all courtesy of Corey Cunningham, a new character played by Rohan Campbell.
“David was so adamant on not having me on any press,” Campbell tells Variety.
When Campbell was first circling the project, he had no clue that he was auditioning for a “Halloween” film,...

It's a well known fact that the original "Halloween," refers to Michael Myers as "The Shape" in the movie's end credits. It's a fitting description for the character who never utters a single word throughout the entire film. Instead, he lurks in the shadows, kitchen knife in hand, waiting for the right moment to strike. He is less a man and more, quite simply, the embodiment — the shape — of evil itself.
Over the years, many actors (the number varies depending on how technical you want to get here) have donned Michael's iconic mechanic's jumpsuit and repurposed William Shatner mask, making the moniker of "The Shape" a fitting name. But even though Michael's portrayers truly have shape-shifted a lot over time, there is one man whose name is synonymous with the infamous slasher villain: Nick Castle.

Jamie Lee Curtis is picking up the torch to play Laurie Strode once again, and she’s forming a mob to take down Michael Myers once and for all.
Universal Pictures has released the first trailer for “Halloween Kills,” which serves as the direct sequel to David Gordon Green’s “Halloween” and the 12th installment in the larger franchise. His film left off with Laurie sitting in a pick-up truck with her daughter and granddaughter after her house burned down amid a thrilling encounter with Michael Myers.
Green, the comedic director best known for “Pineapple Express” who transitioned to the horror genre, is directing and co-writing the entire trilogy of new “Halloween” films. The third and illusive final installment, “Halloween Ends,” will be released in theaters on Oct. 14, 2022.
Nick Castle, who played Michael Myers in the original 1978 “Halloween,” has returned to play the slasher icon alongside stunt double James Jude Courtney.

David Gordon Green’s forthcoming slasher film Halloween Kills is set to continue the story of Laurie Strode, the former sister of Michael Myers and sole survivor of his initial spree of killings in Haddonfield, Illinois. Laurie’s genealogical relationship to Michael was revealed in Rick Rosenthal’s 1981 sequel Halloween II, a movie that was retconned away and replaced by Green’s 2018 film Halloween, which was itself both a direct legacy sequel to the 1978 Compass International classic as well as the opening installment of a new Halloween trilogy by Blumhouse Productions, who acquired the rights to the franchise after Dimension Films let them lapse following Rob Zombie’s 2009 sequel to his 2007 reboot.

With the latest Halloween movie out now on Blu-ray and DVD, fans will have access to a whole helping of special features, including seven scenes that didn’t make the final cut. But if the unused footage left you with a few lingering questions, a new video from FoundFlix provides a little insight.
The first of the deleted scenes that the video (seen below) breaks down is titled “Extended Shooting Range,” which sees Laurie Strode practice her shooting in preparation for the return of Michael Myers. It’s only when Jamie Lee Curtis’ character goes back indoors, however, that the sequence becomes truly revealing, as the heroine puts a revolver to her head in a moment of suicidal contemplation.
To promote the home release, Blumhouse has already shared a few deleted scenes. One of these, labeled “Shower Mask Visit,” focuses on podcasters Dana Haines and Aaron Korey while paying tribute...

As you’re probably well aware of by now, Michael Myers from the Halloween movies is capable of some pretty terrible things, but while the man has been known to stick a knife into many an unsuspecting human, this deleted scene from David Gordon Green’s recent film serves as a sad reminder that even household pets aren’t safe from his rampage.
The video starts off with the young Allyson Nelson going on a jog, while John Carpenter’s ominous score plays in the background. Her run is brought to a halt, however, when she notices a dog hanging from a neighborhood tree. After taking in this distressing sight, Andi Matichak’s character jogs on, looking visibly disturbed, while Michael looms in the distance.
Green hinted at this scene in an interview with Collider last year, explaining that he felt the sequence was interesting in its own right, but...

David Gordon Green’s Halloween went distinctly against slasher cliché when it gave leading lady Allyson Nelson a boyfriend but didn’t end up killing him off. But while Cameron Elam avoided a gruesome fate at the hands of Michael Myers, he did meet another swift end of sorts, in that he pretty much disappeared from the movie halfway through.
Granted, the character’s exit allowed the focus to remain on the central conflict between Michael and the Strode clan, but if you’re looking for an explanation of where Cameron was while Allyson and her family were busy fighting off a knife-wielding killer, this newly released deleted scene offers the answer.
It seems that after falling out at the Halloween dance, Cameron and Allyson continue their argument on the street, at which point, they attract the attention of a couple of cops who tell them to go home. It...
