With only 11 days left to go before the Halloween day, Universal Pictures is continuing the terrifying saga of Michael Myers aka “The Shape” with the out in theaters today release “Halloween Kills”. This picks up where the 2018 film left off and if you’ve missed any of our other posts about the film just click HERE to open up the run of them. I know a lot of our readers are big continuity buffs and like to see all trailers before hitting a film. Down below you’ll find the Theatrical poster and I’ve added another for your viewing pleasure down below. You’ll also find the premise and a large part of the cast involved. Please remember that these new films discount any of the happenings after the original “Halloween” film from 1978.
The Premise: Minutes after Laurie Strode, her daughter Karen, and granddaughter Allyson left masked monster Michael Myers caged and burning in Laurie’s basement, Laurie is rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, believing she finally killed her lifelong tormentor. But when Michael manages to free himself from Laurie’s trap, his ritual bloodbath resumes. As Laurie fights her pain and prepares to defend herself against him, she inspires all of Haddonfield to rise up against their unstoppable monster.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: As I’ve a heavy schedule of things to do starting today and over the next few days I will not be getting to see this until sometime next week. I’d like to do this on Wednesday with the cheapest matinee since the pandemic hit the pocket kinda hard but I digress. Those who wish to see the film on the big screen will need to show proof of vaccination to enter any of the theaters in New York City. I am not sure how other states are handling this but that’s the lay of the land here. I just attended the New York Comic Con and not only did I have to prove this status, I also had to keep a mask on the entire time but you should be able to sit and enjoy popcorn and a soda without one on here. This film marks the second chapter of the new trilogy which will be closed up with next year’s “Halloween Ends”. Let’s see if that’s actually an end when the time comes. That’s all I have to say about this one my friends, so please chime in if you plan on seeing the movie but please no spoilers as that is just not right. Stay safe out there and I will be back soon with more stuff like this. Ciao.
