The final trailer for Universal Pictures' Halloween Kills has finally arrived.
The trailer begins with two children telling a woman (Kyle Richards' Lindsey Wallace) about a man in a creepy white mask playing hide-and-seek with them. That man, of course, is Michael Myers. Later in the trailer, there are various nods to the much-maligned Halloween III: Season of the Witch, first with Michael showing off one of the masks from that film covered in blood as he attacks a family. The family is later found dead in a playground wearing the skull and pumpkin masks.
Elsewhere, we find Laurie Strode realizing she once again failed to kill Michael, who emerges from the burning home he was last seen in to murder several firefighters. She then recruits several familiar faces from the original film to help bring an end to The Shape once and for all.
Halloween Kills is the follow-up to 2018's Halloween, which was a soft-reboot/sequel of the franchise that ignored everything following the flagship 1978 movie. However, while Halloween was largely lauded by critics, Halloween Kills is proving to be much more divisive in its early reviews.
"What we were seeing around the country of the power, of the rage of voices, big groups of people coming together enraged at the set of circumstances, that's what the movie is," franchise star Jamie Lee Curtis explained in November 2020. "The movie is about a mob. And so it's very interesting because it takes on what happens when trauma infects an entire community. And we're seeing it everywhere with the Black Lives Matter movement. We're seeing it in action and 'Halloween Kills' weirdly enough, dovetailed onto that, proceeded it, it was written before that occurred, but then of course, so when you see it, it's a seething group of people moving through the story as a big angry group, it's really, really, really intense. It's a masterpiece."
Originally slated for a full theatrical release, Universal recently announced that Halloween Kills will premiere in both theaters and on Peacock day-and-date on Oct. 15.
