WATCH: New Halloween Kills trailer is here – and it has a cool throwback to the franchise’s strangest entry

Finally, the delayed Halloween sequel, Halloween Kills, has a final trailer ahead of its October release.

In 2018, David Gordon Green’s Halloween, starring icon Jamie Lee Curtis, killed at the box office, earning more than $250 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing chapter in the four-decade franchise and setting a new record for the biggest opening weekend in history for a horror film starring a woman.

And the Halloween night when Michael Myers returned isn’t over yet.

Minutes after Laurie Strode (Curtis), her daughter Karen (Judy Greer) and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) left masked monster Michael Myers caged and burning in Laurie’s basement, Laurie is rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, believing she finally killed her lifelong tormentor.

But when Michael manages to free himself from Laurie’s trap, his ritual bloodbath resumes. As Laurie fights her pain and prepares to defend herself against him, she inspires all of Haddonfield to rise up against their unstoppable monster.

The Strode women join a group of other survivors of Michael’s first rampage who decide to take matters into their own hands, forming a vigilante mob that sets out to hunt Michael down, once and for all.

Evil dies tonight. October 15th.

Before you leave, here’s a cool little bit of movie trivia.

In the 1982 movie Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Michael is forgotten about for an entirely original tale about a greedy corporation hellbent in taking over the world using their Halloween masks – it’s a dark little Halloween treat if you’ve not seen it – but in that movie, three masks in particular get a lot of spotlight, which are these:

In the new trailer, we see three of Michael’s victims sporting very familiar masks:

I love stuff like this, not gonna lie!
