‘Halloween Ends’ to Premiere on Peacock and in Theaters This October

You can get spooked from your couch or the movie theater this fall, because Halloween Ends, the final installment in the David Gordon Green Halloween reboot trilogy, is set to premiere both on Peacock and on the big screen this spooky season.

Franchise star and everyone’s favorite Final Girl, Jamie Lee Curtis, announced the news in a video posted to Instagram today. In the scary short, she wanders in the black-and-white wilderness while Michael Myers (yes, this guy is somehow STILL alive) flashes in the forest behind her.

As she steps into full color, Curtis stops to address the audience, beginning, “Hi there, it’s Jamie Lee Curtis.  As you all know, I’ve played Laurie Strode for more than four decades, and over that time she has been relentlessly stalked by Michael Myers.

“Well, all that comes to an end this Halloween, and I’m very proud of our final film, Halloween Ends, and how it brings the saga to a fitting conclusion, and I cannot wait for people to have the chance to see it,” she continues. “Now last year when we put out Halloween Kills, we were in the thick of the COVID crisis, so we made that movie available in theaters and in homes at the same time.”

As Curtis adds, “But we discovered that there are people who want to go to the theater and scream their guts out, and other people who want to stay at home and scream their guts out — but what we knew is that people watched,” Myers creeps out from behind a tree and snaps some twigs underneath his foot, distracting Curtis from her cheery PR pitch.

While John Carpenter’s iconic score begins in the background, Curtis turns behind her, but Myers is already gone. As she dismisses the noise and Carpenter’s music drops out, Curtis reveals that Halloween Kills will premiere on Peacock and in theaters Oct. 14.

“It has been the honor of my life to play Laurie Strode and no matter how you watch this final chapter, I hope you’ll get people together and scream and cheer and hold your breath to the end, because we created this for you and I thank you for your years of support and how much you care about this story and me, your Final Girl,” she says.

Myers can’t help himself and makes one last appearance as Curtis, oblivious to the masked menace, happily walks out of the frame. And the countdown officially begins until these two meet again for one last time.
