Halloween Kills was delayed from this October to next October yesterday, but some new plot details have now found their way online which were shared by writer-director David Gordon Green and co-writer Danny McBride before the change was made.

The 2018 film served as a direct sequel to the 1978 classic, and McBride explained what this middle chapter means for the new trilogy. 

"It takes place the same night, picking up where the last movie ended," McBride confirmed. As you may recall, that ended with Laurie, her daughter Karen, and granddaughter Allyson making their escape after they managed to trap and "kill" Michael Myers in a burning basement. 

"Events in the film bring together a lot of characters who were in the 1978 film who we didn’t see last time," McBride teases. "They gather to try, once and for all, to take down Michael, to stop this madman." Needless to say, the fact that he survived probably shouldn't come as a surprise to fans.

Green, meanwhile, adds: "This first one was more about Laurie’s life of isolation after Michael and her attempts at revenge. It was personal. This is more about the unravelling of a community into chaos. It’s about how fear spreads virally."

He went on to praise Jamie Lee Curtis' performance in the previous instalment, and it definitely sounds like they will see a lot more action this time.

"We learned that Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie is capable of anything! We didn’t know what to expect working with her," he admits. "The fact she could do her own stunts, kick everybody’s ass and be a joy to work with – that definitely meant re-evaluating what we wanted to do with the next chapter of the story. We were excited to write without limitations about what Laurie can do."

Are you guys excited for Halloween Kills

The last one was really great! Probably my favorite of the series! Don’t get me wrong I love how crazy and trashy the series got for a while but the emotional depth of Laurie’s character was a great driving power of the movie! Plus no Busta Rhymes in this! Lol. I really only had a few issues about the movie but for the most part the killings were nice and brutal, the story was taken seriously and the leafs all did a great job! I feel like this movie did what Terminator Dark Fate couldn’t do and that’s make awesome women leads the forefront of the movie with it feeling natural.

Damn, it's going to be hard to see Sheriff Brackett bite it, but I'm almost sure that Michael is going to kill him.

@L0RDbuckethead - Yeah Carpenter already said that this film has a high kill count, so I'm sure alot of the og halloween characters aren't going to make it.
