With the release just three months away, the marketing campaign for Halloween Ends will begin very soon, Michael’s return dated for theatrical release on October 14, 2022.
Speaking with SYFY Wire this week, John Carpenter – who composed the score alongside Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies – provides his own little tease while you wait…
“You’ll see it’s a departure from the others. It’s interesting. Dave is a really good director. I love working with him,” Carpenter tells the site, playing it coy as always.
Nick Castle, the original Michael Myers, had recently noted that Halloween Ends will be a “surprising” conclusion to David Gordon Green‘s new trilogy, while makeup effects artist Chris Nelson similarly teased that the third installment in the trilogy is “weird” and “different.” All of these descriptions line up with it being a “departure,” which has our interest piqued.
We don’t yet have any plot information, but the ending of Halloween Kills built towards the final confrontation between Laurie and Michael, a battle that will likely take center stage in the trilogy’s final installment. Last year’s movie ended with Michael (seemingly) ending the life of Karen Strode, so the fight between hero and villain is more personal than ever before.
David Gordon Green has recently teased that there will be a four-year time jump from the events of Kills to the events of Ends, and it’s said to be more “intimate” and “contained.”
