Had the pandemic not reared its ugly head, Halloween Kills would have been released earlier this month. The horror sequel was recently pushed back to next October, but Blumhouse has now debuted a teasing glimpse of some footage to make the wait a little less torturous.
The first trailer, which screened during today's virtual BlumFest panel, begins with a voiceoiver from Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), who appears to be under no illusions about Michael Myers' survival and fully expects him to return to continue his murderous night-time pursuits.
Sure enough, we then get a glimpse of the masked maniac dispatching a victim, followed by shots of returning cast members Judy Greer and Andi Matichak, who will reprise their roles as Laurie's daughter and granddaughter, respectively.
Kyle Richards will also returns as Lindsey Wallace from John Carpenter's original Halloween, while Anthony Michael Hall will play Tommy Doyle, another character Michael terrorized in the 1978 film.
Check out the teaser below and let us know what you think.
As great as Halloween 2018 was, let's hope this next installment is more than just a stale rehash and doesn't make the same mistakes that many of the sequels to John Carpenter's original did back in the day.
Halloween Kills slices its way into theatres on October 15. Halloween Ends will conclude the new trilogy in 2022.
