Halloween Kills Trailer Reveals Michael’s Burnt Mask & Returning Characters
The latest teaser for Halloween Kills shows Michael's burnt mask, as well as the returns of several familiar characters. Though the Halloween franchise has endured several reboots and retcons over the years, it received a major shot of adrenaline with the most recent installment. 2018's Halloween effectively erased every single movie that came before, save the original 1978 film. In this installment, serial killer Michael Myers breaks out of prison before embarking on another killing spree, which puts him on the warpath with survivor Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis).
The 2018 Halloween served to kick off a new trilogy of films, and the second installment, Halloween Kills, was originally slated for release in October of this year. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, however, it has been delayed to 2021, leaving fans to wait an extra year to discover what happens next. Halloween ends with Michael seemingly being defeated by Laurie, her daughter, and her granddaughter, but fans know he never stays dead for long. In fact, the previous teaser for Halloween Kills even hinted at how he manages to survive being trapped in a burning building.
To help bridge the longer-than-expected gap between now and Halloween Kills' release, Blumhouse has revealed a brand new teaser trailer for the film. Though it clocks in at a mere 36 seconds, it still features plenty of thrilling visuals and hints of what's to come. Check it out below.
In addition to Laurie and other characters from the 2018 Halloween (such as Judy Greer's Karen and Andi Matichak's Allyson), fans get their first peeks at returning players Lindsey Wallace (Kyle Richards) and Tommy Doyle (Anthony Michael Hall). Laurie babysat Lindsey and Tommy in the original 1978 film, and their presence in Halloween Kills confirms the franchise is coming full circle. Whether they survive to see 2022's Halloween Ends remains to be seen, but the above teaser promises plenty of bloodshed is on the way. The blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment when Laurie screams Michael's name seems particularly intriguing, since she looks like she's in a very public hospital with other people.
Halloween could've offered a perfectly satisfying conclusion to the Michael Myers saga, but fans likely aren't too upset that it's continuing. The 2018 film was seen by many as a return to form, and hopefully Halloween Kills keeps that momentum going. Though today's trailer is very, very short, it still manages to drum up excitement for a movie that's still a year away. Guess this Halloween, fans will have to be content watching past franchise installments as they wait for Michael's next bloodbath.
