After a somewhat lacklustre box office run (a day-and-date Peacock debut probably didn't help), Universal Pictures has announced the Digital and home release dates for Halloween Ends.

The divisive final chapter in David Gordon Green's Halloween sequel trilogy is set to hit Digital on November 15, and 4K Ultra HD & Blu-ray Collector's Edition on December 27.

Special Features include:

Audio commentary by director/co-writer David Gordon Green, actors Andi Matichak and Rohan Campbell, first assistant director Atilla Salih Yücer, and production assistant Hugo Garza

Ending Halloween – Explore the creative team’s approach to crafting the film’s final sequence

Final Girl – Jamie Lee Curtis discusses the legacy of Laurie Strode

No Place Like Haddonfield – Filmmakers and cast reveal what makes Halloween productions so special

A Different Threat – Examine how evil has evolved in Haddonfield

The Visions of Terror – See how production departments came together to achieve the film’s unique style

Twisted Deaths – An up-close look at the film’s gruesome death scenes

6 deleted and extended scenes

Gag reel

We're not given any indication as to what these new scenes could entail, but we do know that Green filmed at least one alternate ending for the movie, so with any luck, we will get to see the original "final confrontation" he had in mind for Michael Myers and Laurie Strode..

After 45 years, the most acclaimed, revered horror franchise in film history reaches its epic, terrifying conclusion as Laurie Strode faces off for the last time against the embodiment of evil, Michael Myers, in a final confrontation unlike any captured on-screen before. Only one of them will survive.

Icon Jamie Lee Curtis returns for the last time as Laurie Strode, horror’s first ‘final girl’ and the role that launched Curtis’ career. Curtis has portrayed Laurie for more than four decades now, one of the longest actor-character pairings in cinema history. When the franchise relaunched in 2018, Halloween shattered box office records, becoming the franchise’s highest-grossing chapter and set a new record for the biggest opening weekend for a horror film starring a woman.

“Four years after the events of last year’s Halloween Kills, Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) and is finishing writing her memoir. Michael Myers hasn’t been seen since. Laurie, after allowing the specter of Michael to determine and drive her reality for decades, has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life. But when a young man, Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell), is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all.”

Hopefully they show Darcy the mail girl's death at the DJ studio. My fellow Monstervision/Last Drive-in peeps know what's up. Also got to meet her when Aew Dynamite came to cincy, she's nice. [frick] this movie

God awful film, biggest disappointment of the year for me.
Just a mind-boggling, head scratching movie. In my head canon, this movie is a nightmare final chapter that doesn't officially exist except as some stupid fan fiction. The storyline effectively ends with Kills, with Michael winning and surviving and going into hiding for the rest of his life and Laurie knowing that her failure to kill Michael resulted in the death of her daughter.


"Only one of them will survive! @jamieleecurtis stars as Laurie Strode in her final showdown with Michael Myers."

The director has talked extensively about how they never approached the film as a Laurie vs Michael film. And yet, here they are advertising it as such (even though it isn't) because they realize the final product they put out is a damn mistake that the audience didn't want to watch. False marketing for sure.

Ends is my biggest disappointment of the year for sure.


Green came into this franchise and erased EVERYTHING to end it like this?



How embarrassing 🤣

@HeavyMetal4Life - Agreed.

I think the biggest problem is execution too. Halloween 2018 I thought was decent, but about as good as you can make a sequel to a movie (1978) that didn't need one. Just after so many crappy reboots and sequels (never been a fan of OG Halloween 2 or anything that followed) it was nice to see that someone understood what made the original work and payed tribute to that.

"Kills" was just a generic slasher that tried awkwardly to comment on mob mentality. I was hoping "Ends" might make sense of it and maybe make this whole thing feel like it had a vision. I was rooting for it. Sadly, they dropped the ball.

I'm not even opposed to the ideas they had, but they fumble so bad with the execution. The story wouldn't necessarily be bad if the relationship between Laurie/Haddonfield or Laurie's Granddaughter/Corey felt in any way genuine or made sense. Or if Laurie's characterization felt consistent because she flips back and forth from tough to shocked/ineffectual. Really poorly made, almost feels like a rush job.

I liked it and applaud the effort to try something new with the series. Yeah there were silly things (high school bullies, what?), but the Corey/Ally plotline was more compelling than it had any right to be, and the idea of a festering evil larger than Michael Myers was an interesting one. I'm also happy they didn't do what I feared they'd do and make Corey the "next" Michael Myers.

They were going to end it with Laurie turning into the next Michael. But it tested horribly.


I believe the end of the film is Laurie screaming at Alison to get out while she still can as Laurie trys to control the evil inside and shuts the door.😐

I actually liked Halloween Ends. I found it unpredictable and disturbing. I definitely get why people don't like it and were disappointed by it, but when people say it's the worst movie in a franchise that includes Halloween: Resurrection and the two Rob Zombie movies I can't help but roll my eyes.
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 11/10/2022, 12:47 PM
@Batman91 - I'd rather watch Resurrection, a Halloween movie that at least actually is about Michael Myers.

It's better than those films but it's a lower rank Halloween film.

@HeavyMetal4Life - So you'd rather see a movie where Michael leaves the room because Busta Rhymes yelled at him, and later gets a karate-beating from him than a movie where he doesn't have a lot of screentime?

I find this so baffling about the people who seem to think the more screentime Michael has, the better the movie automatically is. Like people who love the Rob Zombie movies, even though that version of Michael is so radically different from Michael (not there there's anything inherently wrong with that, it is a remake afterall) that it's pretty much Michael in-name-only and yet that's appearently enough for them.

I rather have Busta rhymes kick Michael than watch a 5'8 dweeb wrestling Michael to the ground and taking his mask🤣

There's no beating around the bush here. Ends was an awful Halloween film and an awful Michael Myers film. If anything, it was a Halloween film in name only that had a glorified cameo from Michael Myers.
The storyline with Cory is perfectly fine and would have made for a really compelling and great film... if it wasn't billed as both a Halloween film and the finale of the franchise and storyline between Michael and Laurie.

Batman91 - 11/10/2022, 1:52 PM
@HeavyMetal4Life - Fair enough, however, I'm convinced if the movie had been Laurie vs. Michael people would have called it woke for having a woman keeping up with him throughout a whole movie, unless she had another house full of traps in which case people would have complained it was to similar to Halloween (2018), so I doubt there was any way to end this trilogy that would have pleased people.

@AmazingFILMporg - Different strokes I guess.
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 11/10/2022, 2:05 PM
@Batman91 - if people are calling anything "woke" then they should seek therapy.

There was such an obvious set up for how to close out this trilogy, I'm absolutely dumbstruck that it was too difficult to figure out. It should have been a manhunt storyline, with Michael being hunted down. And Corey could have been involved, someone who had a troubled past and gets framed for Michael's return and resumed killing spree. Corey decides to try to clear his name with Allison's help. And the third act leads to Laurie, Hawkins, Allison, Corey, and Michael all crossing paths.

@Batman91 - That's ignoring that the 2018 movie was Laurie vs Michael. Maybe some would've thought that, just based on that, but not only can you not know that, it's irrelevant.

If they didn't have a story to tell that concluded this as a trilogy, maybe they shouldn't have made it a trilogy.

The screentime may be not be the point, but what the meaning of the screentime is.

@HeavyMetal4Life - Calling something woke is nothing inherently need of therapy. That doesn't mean it wouldn't be irrelevant in this case.
