Before the release of Halloween in 2018, McBride confirmed that he and Green had intended to pitch two films that would be shot back-to-back, but decided against it, waiting to see the reaction to the first film. Following the success of the first film, in July 2019, the film's title was announced along with Halloween Kills.

Halloween Ends will premiere at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles on October 11, 2022, and is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on October 14, by Universal Pictures. It will also stream simultaneously on paid tiers of Peacock for 60 days.

Premise

Four years after the events of last year's Halloween Kills, Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson and is finishing writing her memoir. Michael Myers hasn't been seen since his last brutal rampage. Laurie, after allowing the specter of Michael to determine and drive her reality for decades, has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life. But when a young man, Corey Cunningham, is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can't control, once and for all.

Production

Development

In June 2018, Danny McBride confirmed that he and David Gordon Green had originally intended to pitch two films that would be shot back-to-back, and then decided against it, waiting to see the reaction to the first film:

"We were going to shoot two of them back-to-back. 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 movie to come out that we know people aren't going to like.' So, we were like, 'Let's learn from this, and see what works, and what doesn't.' But we definitely have an idea of where we would go [with] this branch of the story and hopefully we get a chance to do it."[3]

In September 2018, producer Jason Blum said that "we will do a sequel if the movie performs".[4] By October 2018, after the film's opening weekend, McBride confirmed that early development on a sequel had begun.[5] In July 2019, Bloody Disgusting reported that a third film was in development along with the then-untitled Halloween Kills, with Green returning as director. The site also claimed that the studio was considering releasing both films in October 2020.[6] Green, McBride and Jeff Fradley had initially planned out a two film story arc, but would ultimately opt for a trilogy after realizing they had more material than originally thought.[7] Later that month, Universal Pictures revealed the titles and release dates of the two sequels: Halloween Kills, set to be released on October 16, 2020, and Halloween Ends, set to be released on October 15, 2021.[8][9][10][11][12][13] Green was officially announced to direct both films and co-write the scripts with McBride, while Jamie Lee Curtis would reprise her role in both films. Scott Teems was confirmed as a co-writer for Halloween Kills, while Paul Brad Logan and Chris Bernier were announced as co-writers of Halloween Ends.[14] Judy Greer and Andi Matichak were confirmed to reprise their roles as Karen and Allyson that same month.[15] Blum, Malek Akkad, and Bill Block were slated to produce the film while John Carpenter, Curtis, Green, and McBride were attached as executive producers once again.[16] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Universal Pictures moved Halloween Kills to 2021 and Halloween Ends was moved to October 2022.[17][18][19]

In October 2021, Green revealed that Halloween Ends will take place four years after the events of Halloween Kills and would incorporate elements of the pandemic into the story.[20][21] In an interview that same month, Curtis claimed the film will be "shocking" and will "make people very angry".[22] Akkad stated the film will be more "contained" than the previous film, while Green called it a coming of age story, promising a more intimate film, in line with Carpenter's Christine.[23][24] Green also hinted that McBride had requested a cameo in the film, potentially as a character who fights Myers.[25]

Pre-production

In December 2021, it was revealed that Kyle Richards would be reprising her role for the film. Initially, the character was not expected to return for the film, but following the positive reception to Richards' performance, the script was rewritten to give her an expanded role.[26] The following month, Michael O'Leary joined the cast.[1] Rohan Campbell was cast under the radar, with his addition being revealed on social media.[27]

A casting call occurred for extras in late January and February 2022 in numerous Southeast Georgia towns.[28][29]

Filming

It was originally planned to film Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends back to back, but did not occur due to the "intense schedule".[30] In March 2020, Blum confirmed filming would take place during the summer.[31] Filming was quietly delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Production was expected to take place in 2021 in Wilmington, North Carolina.[32] In August 2021, Courtney confirmed that filming will begin on January 10, 2022.[33] However, filming officially began on January 19, 2022, in Savannah, Georgia under the working title Cave Dweller.[34][35] Michael Simmonds once again served as director of photography.[36] Curtis began filming her scenes on January 25 and wrapped on February 22.[37][38][39] Additional scenes were shot in Sylvania, Georgia.[40] Filming concluded on March 9, 2022.[41][42] In June 2022, two weeks of reshoots were reported to take place in Savannah.[43] However, these reshoots only lasted four days and were completed that same month.[44][45]

Post-production

In June 2022, Blum confirmed that the film had test screened internally the month prior and that it would be the last Halloween film from the studio.[46] That same month, Castle reaffirmed that he will appear in the film in a small role.[47][48] The following month, Carpenter described the film as a "departure" from the previous entries in Green's trilogy.[49] Following the release of the teaser trailer, Omar Dorsey and Will Patton were revealed to reprise their roles from the previous films.[50] In August, Castle had finished ADR for Michael Myers.[51] By the end of the month, Green told in an interview that the film was still being tweaked despite the film being picture locked.[52]

Release

Halloween Ends is set to release on October 14, 2022.[18] On August 23, 2022, it was announced that in addition to being released in theaters the film would also be streamed on paid tiers of Peacock for 60 days.[53] It was initially set to release on October 15, 2021, before being delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9][14]

Future

On future possible entries of the franchise, Carpenter joked about how future installments could be produced if the film would be a success, although he acknowledged that Green was adamant in Ends being their story's ending.[54] He said:

"Let me explain the movie business to you: if you take a dollar sign and attach it to anything, there will be somebody who wants to do a sequel. It will live. If the dollar sign is not big enough, no matter what, it will not live... I don't know, man. I don't know. This time, I do not know. They really want to end. They're going to shut it off, end it. It's what David has in mind. That's fine."[55]

Producer Jason Blum reiterated that while it would not be the final film in the franchise, it will be the last Halloween movie under Blumhouse, with the rights of the film series reverting to Akkad following the release of Ends.[56]
