Will there be a sequel to Halloween Ends?
In the world of horror, Michael Myers has become an iconic boogeyman, always finding a way to resurface and haunt the town of Haddonfield, Illinois. The latest installment in the franchise, Halloween Ends, directed by David Gordon Green and produced by Blumhouse, seemingly concluded the storyline. However, fans eagerly anticipate whether this will truly be the end or if another sequel awaits.
The recent movie, Halloween Ends, is the culmination of a trilogy that began with the 2018 reboot of the classic 1978 film. Laurie Strode, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, finally achieved her long-awaited victory over Myers, reducing his body to shreds. While it may seem like Myers has finally met his demise, history has shown that this indomitable killer has repeatedly come back from the dead.
Despite the possibility of yet another resurrection, David Gordon Green has declared that Halloween Ends concludes his trilogy, implying that there will be no direct sequel. Jamie Lee Curtis also confirmed this in an interview, referring to the movie as the ‘inevitable conclusion’ to Laurie’s 44-year journey. It appears that, after enduring immense violence and trauma, Laurie will finally find respite.
Have we seen the last of Michael Myers?
While the future of the Halloween franchise may not lie in David Gordon Green’s hands, it is unlikely that we have truly witnessed the end of Michael Myers. Throughout the years, he has proven his ability to return time and time again, defying death itself. While Green and Blumhouse may not continue the series, there remains hope that franchise producer Malek Akkad, along with another filmmaker and movie studio, could revive the masked killer.
John Carpenter, the original director of Halloween, humorously addressed the nature of the movie business, stating that attaching a dollar sign to a project will always generate interest in a sequel. Given Michael Myers’ lucrative track record at the box office, it is no surprise that there will always be those eager to continue his story. It is possible that the franchise will live on, allowing Michael Myers to strike fear into the hearts of audiences once more.
As for the character of Laurie Strode, her return seems unlikely unless the new film’s director chooses to reboot the franchise, potentially exploring her origins with a younger actress. While the details remain uncertain, we will keep this page updated with any news regarding the potential return of Michael Myers.
