Michael Myers is back and up to no good this Halloween. After three years, David Gordon Green is returning to his Halloween sequel trilogy with Halloween Kills, which is set to release next week — just in time for Halloween itself. Although the Halloween franchise has quite a few spin-offs and threads that drift away from this specific trilogy, is Halloween Kills wrapping up John Carpenter’s original franchise? Is this the end of Michael Myers as we know it?
Jamie Lee Curtis returns for more action in the upcoming slasher film, ready to get revenge on her arch-nemesis. Also joining for Halloween Kills are stars James Jude Courtney, Kyle Richards, Nick Castle, Andi Matichak, and Anthony Michael Hall.
Halloween Kills is the second installation in Gordon Green’s Halloween sequel trilogy, which should be a pretty big hint as to whether or not it’ll be the last film. Here’s everything we know about Halloween Kills being the last film:
Is Halloween Kills the last Halloween movie coming out?
Nope! After Halloween Kills, Gordon Green is set to release just one more movie in the Halloween trilogy. Halloween Ends will mark the finale of Gordon Green’s sequel trilogy, and it’s set to release around Halloween next year.
How many Halloween movies are there?
That’s a bit of a complicated question. In Gordon Green’s trilogy, there’s only one Halloween film with two on the way. On the flip side, there’s a whole array of films in the overall franchise. In chronological order, here’s every Halloween film that’s been released after the 1978 John Carpenter classic:
