Everything to Know About 'Halloween Ends'

Forget the popcorn, Halloween Ends is a real nail-biter!

The mayhem continues with Michael Myers's return to the third installment of director David Gordon Green's sequel trilogy that furthers the story of John Carpenter's 1978 horror classic, Halloween.

In the final film in the threequel, the murderous maniac — notoriously referred to as The Shape — makes his way back to suburban Haddonfield, Illinois, once more to cause havoc in the town after he "disappeared without a trace" in the wake of the events that unfolded four years prior.

But have no fear horror fans! Final girl Laurie Strode musters up the courage to go face-to-face — well, face-to-mask — with Michael Myers one last time in an attempt to confront the embodiment of evil once and for all.

Halloween Ends follows 2018's Halloween (the direct sequel to the 1978 original slasher) and 2021's Halloween Kills. It promises a spine-chilling conclusion of the acclaimed horror franchise, 45 years after the original film's release.
