Jamie Lee Curtis‘s character Laurie Strode is set to have her final showdown with Michael Myers in the new Halloween sequel Halloween Ends, which is getting a theatrical release on October 14th, but will also be available to watch on the Peacock streaming service on that day. (For viewers with a paid subscription to Peacock Premium or Premium Plus.) And while we still have a couple weeks to wait until we reach that release date, fans can put themselves in Laurie’s shoes right now by playing the web-based video game Escape Michael Myers! The game is free to play, and you can do so RIGHT HERE.
It’s a simple game, one long chase with Michael Myers close on Laurie Strode’s heels while she tries to dodge obstacles and grab weapons to fight back with.
Halloween 2018 and Halloween Kills director David Gordon Green directed Halloween Ends from a screenplay he wrote with Danny McBride, Paul Brad Logan, and Chris Bernier. Curtis is joined in the cast by Andi Matichak as Laurie’s granddaughter Allyson, Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace, Will Patton as Officer Frank Hawkins, and Michael O’Leary as Doctor Mathis. James Jude Courtney reprises the role of Michael Myers, and original Michael Myers performer Nick Castle will also make a cameo appearance.
As he did for the previous two movies, John Carpenter is composing the score for Halloween Ends with Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies. Copies of the score are available for pre-order.
Here’s the official synopsis for Halloween Ends:
Four years after the events of last year’s Halloween Kills, Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) and is finishing writing her memoir. Michael Myers hasn’t been seen since. 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 (Rohan Campbell; The Hardy Boys, Virgin River), 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.
