Total Film Magazine have released online its subscriber and newsstand covers for its next issue, giving Michael Myers his closeup in two striking new Halloween Kills images due for release on October 15th 2021 following its postponement.
In a post on Twitter today, Total Film says, “We’ve got the full story on the ultimate slasher sequel in our new #HalloweenKills issue, plus a huge celebration of the career of John Carpenter! On the way to subscribers’ mailboxes now – and available on newsstands this Friday.”
Official Halloween Kills Synopsis:
“And the Halloween night when Michael Myers returned isn’t over yet.
Minutes after Laurie Strode (Curtis), her daughter Karen (Judy Greer) and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) 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.
The Strode women join a group of other survivors of Michael’s first rampage who decide to take matters into their own hands, forming a vigilante mob that sets out to hunt Michael down, once and for all.
Evil dies tonight.”
In the same vein of its predecessor, Halloween Kills is set to have many returning characters appear.
Charles Cyphers has reprised the role of Sheriff Leigh Brackett one of many fan favourites of the original 1978 Halloween.
Some of the other confirmed stars from the first movie set to return are Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace, Nancy Stephens as Nurse Marion Chambers and Nick Castle once again sharing the role of Michael Myers with James Jude Courtney.
Of course Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer and Andi Matichak are also all set to return for the sequel as the surviving members of the Strode family.
Meanwhile, the Tommy Doyle character played by Brian Andrews in the original movie is also returning for Halloween Kills, but the role has been recast with Anthony Michael Hall and this instalment will also see Robert Longstreet as Lonnie Elam.
