HALLOWEEN KILLS is just one of the many movies that were supposed to be released this year but were forced to delay due to the global pandemic. Originally scheduled to reach theatres today, October 16th, it was pushed back to October 15, 2021, and the reason given at the time was that the film would be "consumed in a compromised theatrical experience" if it was released this year.
But even if the theatrical experience is still compromised and the pandemic is still going on when October 2021 rolls around, HALLOWEEN KILLS isn't going to be delayed again. Speaking with Forbes, producer Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions said,
If this is still going on next Halloween? No, we're not holding it. HALLOWEEN KILLS is coming out next October come hell or high water, vaccine or no vaccine. It is coming out."
Well, it's good to know that we'll be seeing HALLOWEEN KILLS next October, no matter what.
Directed by David Gordon Green from a screenplay he wrote with Danny McBride and Scott Teems, HALLOWEEN KILLS is a direct sequel to the 2018 HALLOWEEN (watch it HERE), which was a sequel to the 1978 HALLOWEEN (watch that one HERE) that ignored the events of all the HALLOWEEN movies that were made in between them.
The film stars Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, Andi Matichak as Laurie's granddaughter Allyson, Judy Greer as Laurie's daughter Karen, Robert Longstreet as Lonnie Elam, Dylan Arnold as Allyson's boyfriend / Lonnie's son Cameron, Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace, Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy Doyle, Nancy Stephens as Nurse Marion, Charles Cyphers as Leigh Brackett, Jibrail Nantambu as scene stealer Julian, child actress Victoria Paige Watkins as a character named Christy, and James Jude Courtney as Michael Myers. Original Michael Myers performer Nick Castle also has a one scene cameo.
Jason Blum produced HALLOWEEN KILLS with Malek Akkad, and Bill Block. Green, McBride, and Curtis serve as executive producers alongside Couper Samuelson and John Carpenter. Carpenter has also composed the score.
