Today, we can tell you that Halloween II is indeed on its way. Filming is set to begin after Labor Day with Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her role as badass Laurie Strode! Both Judy Greer and Andi Matichak are expected to return. Be careful not to get confused, this will be the third Halloween II. There’s the 1981 original Halloween II and Rob Zombie’s Halloween II. Halloween (2018) picked up forty years after Strode was viciously attacked by Michael Myers.

Movie Review: Halloween (2018)

The most highly anticipated horror film of the year, Halloween, is now out on digital and of course, I had to see it. The film opens with two podcasters arriving at Smith’s Grove prison mental asylum where Michael Myers (Nick Castle) has been for the past 40 years. The two arrive on the eve of Michael’s transfer to a more secure hospital. As the two enter the yard where Michael and several other patients are chained. We see that Michael has aged, he is balding and sporting a white beard. One of the podcasters, played by Jefferson Hall, reaches into his bag and pulls out Michael’s mask. While Michael doesn’t turn around the other patients go into hysterics. During Michael’s imprisonment, Laurie has never stopped training, waiting for her chance to kill him. During that time Laurie had a daughter who has become a mother herself. Unfortunately, Laurie and her family have a strained relationship with many believing she has

Blumhouse Planning ‘Halloween’ Sequels

Before it even opens in theaters fans are already drooling like a dog with rabies over the new Halloween movie. Well, what we are about to say is going to say may their blow minds, Blumhouse is already planning for sequels! Yeah, for sure, for sure, 100 percent,” Blum told EW. “Let me tell you, if we got six movies out of [Paranormal Activity] — they found new footage five times in a row! — I feel like we can figure out the next chapter. But we’ll see.” Originally director David Gordon Green and writer Danny McBride had a trilogy in mind, so odds are we’ll see Michael again. We were going to shoot two of them back-to-back,” McBride said “Then we were like, Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. This could come out, and everyone could hate us, and we’d never work again. So, let’s not have to sit around for a year while we wait for another

New ‘Halloween’ Trailer Is Shot Documentary Style

The new trailer for Halloween is shot as if it is from a crime documentary and we’re digging it. It’s fitting, seeing that the David Gordan Green-directed movie features a documentary crew working making a feature about the masked killer. “Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.” “A British documentary crew comes to the States to visit Michael in prison for a retrospective of the maniac’s night of terror — but their project becomes way more interesting when Myers escapes custody, retrieves his signature mask and seeks revenge on Laurie, with others naturally being part of his impressive career body count along the way. In the decades following the fateful Halloween night that forever altered the former babysitter’s life, Laurie has armed and prepped herself for Michael’s inevitable return — to the detriment of her family, including
