EXPECTATIONS RISE FOR “HALLOWEEN KILLS”

By Bryce Saunders

Halloween Kills, from director Gordon Green, comes out in 2021. This week, John Carpenter revealed that the franchise owner, Malek Akkad, thinks it’s one of the best Halloween movies ever made. Carpenter was quoted saying, “Well, the producer and owner of the Halloween franchise, Malek Akkad, says it’s the second-best one right after the first. So that’s from him. I think it’s a balls-out slasher movie. We haven’t had one of those in a long time.”

He adds, “It’s done. We’re just waiting on the world to be a little bit more sane and a little safer before we release it.”

Halloween Kills stars Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, Judy Greer as Karen Nelson, Andi Matichak as Allyson Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy Doyle, Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace, Dylan Arnold as Cameron Elam, Robert Longstreet as Lonnie Elam, Charles Cyphers as Leigh Brackett, Nancy Stephens as Marion Chambers, and James Jude Courtney/Nick Castle as The Shape.

With a long list of Halloween 1978 alumni, FearWire is excited as hell for this one.
