“Halloween Kills” To Amp Up The Mayhem

We've mentioned it many times here before, but we ARE NOT big fans of horror/"slasher" movies. Our son? Yes. Us? No. However there is ONE exception to this rule and a common ground of love for our offspring and us: the "Halloween" movies.

LOVE 'EM!

In 2018, the entire movie franchise was re-booted with "Halloween"-a direct sequel to it's original 1978 namesake.

The movie was a HUGE success and immediately a 2-movie-sequel announcement came. "Halloween Kills" was scheduled to be in theaters last October. Yup, October of 2020.

That damn pandemic again.

"Halloween Kills" was postponed until THIS Halloween. Once again, Michael Myers (the greatest psychopath in movie history) returns to menace Jamie Lee Curtis’ "Laurie Strode." The surviving cast of the 2018 film are also returning.

Much of the last movie was told from the POV of Laurie Strode's granddaughter, Allyson. At first, she was skeptical of her grandmother's tale of real-life horror she lived through. However, like all skeptics in these movies, her education came quickly when Myers returned to wreak havoc.

Andi Matichak (who plays the granddaughter) has this to say about the new movie.

“It is… a movie that I think fans will be very happy with. It’s big, and it’s bad, and it’s mean. And we see Michael… I think Laurie, Allyson and Karen (Strode's daughter) pissed him off a little bit, by locking him in the basement (SPOILER ALERT:  they locked him in a basement and set the whole house on fire), because his retaliation is next level.”

"Halloween" creator, original director, and composer of the classic, creepy theme, John Carpenter has seen the final cut and echoes Matichak's sentiments. “The movie is something else. It’s fun, intense and brutal, a slasher movie times one hundred, big time. It’s huge. I’ve never seen anything like this: the kill count!”

"Halloween Kills" will hit theaters on October 15th, 2021.
