Halloween Ends is a 2022 American slasher film directed by David Gordon Green and written by Green, Danny McBride, Paul Brad Logan, and Chris Bernier. It is the sequel to Halloween Kills (2021), the thirteenth installment in the Halloween franchise, and the final film in the trilogy of sequels that commenced with the 2018 film, which directly follows the 1978 film and disregards all other entries. The film stars Jamie Lee Curtis, James Jude Courtney, Andi Matichak, Will Patton, Rohan Campbell, and Kyle Richards, and marks Curtis and Nick Castle's final appearances as Laurie Strode and Michael Myers, respectively.
Before the release of Halloween in 2018, McBride confirmed that he and Green had intended to pitch two films that would be shot back-to-back, but decided against it, waiting to see the reaction to the first film. Following the success of the first film, in July 2019, the film's title was announced along with Halloween Kills. After being delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, filming took place in Georgia between January and March 2022.
Halloween Ends premiered at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles on October 11, 2022 and was theatrically released in the United States on October 14, 2022 by Universal Pictures. Like Kills, it is also streaming simultaneously on paid tiers of Peacock for 60 days. The film was met with mixed reviews from critics, who noted it as an improvement over its predecessor, but as a weak finish to the trilogy of films, with criticism aimed mostly at the screenplay.
Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, a survivor of Michael Myers' 1978 killing spree, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and alcoholism; she is also Allyson's grandmother.
Andi Matichak as Allyson Nelson, Laurie's granddaughter, who went head to head with Michael in Halloween Kills.
James Jude Courtney and Nick Castle as Michael Myers / The Shape, the masked figure who carried out a horrific massacre on Halloween night in 1978, returned to Haddonfield for another killing spree forty years later in 2018.
Will Patton as Deputy Frank Hawkins, a sheriff's deputy who arrested Michael following his initial killing spree in 1978.
Rohan Campbell as Corey Cunningham, a young man accused of murdering a child while he babysat, later becoming a copycat killer.
Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace, one of the children Laurie babysat in 1978.
Joanne Baron as Joan Cunningham, Corey's overbearing mother
Jesse C. Boyd as Officer Mulaney, Allyson's ex-boyfriend
Rick Moose as Ronald, Corey's uncle who owns the salvage yard
Michael Barbieri as Terry, leader of the gang of bullies who target Corey
Destiny Mone as Stacy, a member of Terry's gang
Joey Harris as Margo, a member of Terry's gang
Marteen as Billy, a member of Terry's gang
Michael O'Leary as Dr. Mathis,[2] Allyson's boss at the local hospital
Michele Dawson as Deb, Allyson's coworker who is having an affair with Dr. Mathis
Keraun Harris as Willy The Kid, a local radio DJ
Candice Rose as Mrs. Allen, Jeremy's mother
Jack William Marshall as Mr. Allen, Jeremy's father
Jaxon Goldberg as Jeremy Allen, a young boy who dies while Corey is babysitting him
On future possible entries of the franchise, Carpenter joked about how future installments could be produced if the film would be a success, although he acknowledged that Green was adamant in Ends being their story's ending.[65] Producer Jason Blum reiterated that, while it would not be the final film in the franchise, it will be the last Halloween movie under Blumhouse, with the rights of the film series reverting to producer Malek Akkad following the release of Ends.
