Last Updated on July 30, 2021

The Halloween-themed hits just keep on comin' thanks to today's wondrous holiday of witches, hobgoblins, and now, Haddonfield killers!

In honor of All Hallows' Eve, Jamie Lee Curtis has posted a first look tease at David Gordon Green's HALLOWEEN KILLS, the first sequel to his 2018 reboot of John Carpenter's hallowed horror classic, HALLOWEEN.

In the video, we're treated to a series of shots belonging to the upcoming film, each one more horrific than the last. In fact, promptly after David Gordon Green yells "Action," it's become quite clear that Michael Myers isn't done hunting the Strode family just yet.

In addition to Curtis reprising her role as Laurie Strode for HALLOWEEN KILLS, Judy Greer and Andi Matichak will also return as Laurie's daughter, Karen, and Laurie's granddaughter, Allyson, respectively. Meanwhile, Anthony Michael Hall is set to star as the adult version of Tommy Doyle, while Kyle Richards is set to play the adult Lindsey Wallace. Jibrail Nantambu is back as young Julian; with Robert Longstreet as Lonnie Elam; while Charles Cyphers is rumored to return as Brackett.

As you're likely to know, HALLOWEEN KILLS and HALLOWEEN ENDS are poised to be direct continuations of HALLOWEEN (2018).

Here's the official synopsis for HALLOWEEN (2018):

40 years after Laurie Strode survived a vicious attack from crazed killer Michael Myers on Halloween night. Locked up in an institution, Myers manages to escape when his bus transfer goes horribly wrong. Laurie now faces a terrifying showdown when the masked madman returns to Haddonfield, Ill. — but this time, she's ready for him.

Written by David Gordon Green, Danny McBride and Scott Teems, the series is based on characters created by John Carpenter and Debra Hill. HALLOWEEN KILLS will be directed by David Gordon Green with Malek Akkad, Jason Blum, and Bill Block producing. Acting as executive producers on the sequel are John Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jeanette Volturno, Couper Samuelson, Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, and Ryan Freimann.
