Jamie Lee Curtis and Michael Myers Face Off One Last Time in “Halloween Ends”

2 years ago

“Halloween Ends,” the latest instalment in the storied Halloween horror franchise, is headed to theatres this October, and the trailer is finally here. At the end of the last movie, “Halloween Kills,” Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney and Nick Castle) was seemingly killed by the town, only to reanimate and continue his killing spree. Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is still determined to end his reign of terror once and for all, but how she’ll do it remains a mystery.

Universal Pictures released the frightening trailer on July 19. In it, Myers is heard breathing in his iconic, terrifying way as he goes through the house where Laurie lives. “Come get me, motherf*cker,” Laurie says at one point. She later stabs him in the hand.

“Halloween Ends” is the 13th Halloween film and the seventh one that features Curtis as Laurie. Curtis has been clear that she will no longer be playing her iconic role.

Back in February, the actor shared a message on Instagram after filming wrapped. “A bittersweet END for me on the Halloween movies,” she wrote. “I’ve made great friends and have collaborated with wonderful artists on these three movies and today my part in the film has been completed and with it the END for me of this trilogy.” She thanked the franchise’s creative teams and also the “Strode Strong women” – Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, and Kyle Richards – as well as Courtney.

“I love this crew and cast and I will miss you all. We can’t wait for the fans to see the movie,” Curtis added. She also included some photos from the set, including a picture of a “LAURIE STRODE 4 EVER” tattoo.

"Halloween Ends" Plot

Here’s how Universal describes the plot: “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. Michael Myers hasn’t been seen since. Laurie, after allowing the spectre 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; ‘The Hardy Boys,’ ‘Virgin River’), 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.”
