Adding the twelfth installment to the ‘Halloween’ franchise, director David Gordon Green is ready to sequel to 2018’s ‘Halloween’ coming to theatres this October. The movie was supposed to come out last year in the spooky season, but like many films from the year, got delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick Castle, ‘Halloween’ (2018) told the story of Michael Myers who, after forty years since being locked up, is being transferred to another facility. He escapes and returns to the town of Haddonfield to hunt down his surviving victim Laurie Strode, but this time she seems to be prepared for the attack.

Decoding the teaser trailer
‘Halloween Kills,’ starring Kyle Richards and James Jude Courtney, is once again going to centre around the who-beats-who of Myers and Laurie Strode. This film’s teaser is already out and looks like a promising slasher film is awaiting the fans this Halloween. With a glimpse of Myer’s mask being picked up, it sets the tone for the coming trouble in the lives of all those that may cross his path. Myers is seen gutting someone in the trailer while another person loads their gun, probably gearing up to go against him. All in all, a lot of action can be expected. The poster and the teaser both feature the bad guy leaving behind a house on fire, making it a visual delight for anyone who knows him as an icon.

Where it all began
The ‘Halloween’ franchise began in 1978 with director John Carpenter and producer Debra Hill teaming up for the first film. Since then, the movies and villain Michael Myers have become a fan favourite and consequently very common in pop culture. It was one of the first films that started the “masked killer” trend in thrillers, and even today, many dresses up as Myers every October. The film even has a super fan Kenny Caperton who resides in the famous Myers House that he designed himself as a sort of shrine for the masked villain.
