One of the legacy characters who returns in Halloween Kills is Lindsey Wallace, a character featured in John Carpenter’s original classic. And what’s particularly special about Lindsey’s return is that Kyle Richards also returned to play the character she first played as a child way back in 1978, her “welcome home” to the franchise for the first time in well over 40 years.
Lindsey survives the events of Halloween Kills, coming face-to-face with Michael Myers but ending up in the hospital rather than the morgue. So will she be back next year?
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, director David Gordon Green suggests that we’ll probably be seeing more of Lindsey Wallace, and of Kyle Richards, in Halloween Ends.
“She was fun. In the ’78 film, you see that moment with her and Tommy upstairs in the hallway after their confrontation with Michael Myers, and Laurie is pleading with them to get out of the house and go get help, and she’s their protector. So it was cool to be able to take that character full circle to a sequence we have on the playground where she has a very similar, protective moment with kids on a playground,” Gordon Green explains. “It was fun to be able to see her role reversal, her maturity as a character.”
He adds, “I’m not sure we’ve seen the last of Kyle Richards in our franchise.”
Halloween Ends is currently dated for October 14, 2022, and Gordon Green has also recently teased that there will be a four-year time jump from the events of Kills to the events of Ends.
