First-Look Footage From Halloween Kills Is Pretty Epic

To all the Halloween-heads out there, you should probably start following Jamie Lee Curtis' social accounts immediately they continue to be ground zero for glimpses behind the scenes of the anxiously awaited slasher flicks Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends.

The iconic scream queen, who portrays Laurie Strode in the Halloween franchise, has been quite busy on her socials since Halloween Kills officially kicked off production in September 2019. So far, Curtis' posts have largely been still shots taken on set or in her trailer, like this Instagram post, which Curtis captioned,

"NEVER SAY DIE! First day back in the battle for my life!"

It appears the spooky time of year has the Halloween Kills star in the sharing mood, though, as Curtis recently took to Twitter to offer Halloween fans a tasty treat: a 21-second video that marks the first in-motion look at Halloween Kills. Curtis tweeted,

"‘Tis the season..... to start screaming. First look at the mayhem David has created for all of you."

Needless to say, but it appears a bloody bad time is in store for the Strode clan in the upcoming sequel to 2018's Halloween. Penned by David Gordon Green, Danny McBride, and Jeff Fradley and directed by Green himself, 2018's Halloween served as a direct follow-up to John Carpenter's legendary slasher classic of the same name from 1978.

Set a few decades after the events of Carpenter's Halloween, the 2018 movie found Laurie Strode a little older, a lot grayer, and so deeply traumatized by her encounter with knife-wielding psychopath Michael Myers that she'd spent the ensuing years drinking her pain away while training herself and her family for a second showdown with the one we've come to call "The Shape."

That showdown indeed came in the blood-spattered madness of Green's Halloween. When it happened, Laurie and company eventually trapped the murderous Myers inside a burning house. Of course, Michael Myers isn't that easy to kill. The basement cage clearly didn't hold, since the grisly gang is back for a pair of sequels that will end the saga of Laurie Strode and Michael Myers.

Now a couple of weeks into filming, Halloween Kills is the first of those expected sequels and if Curtis' teaser is any indication, things are heating up on set. Like, literally heating up, as it appears the Halloween Kills team has already shot Michael's escape from the burning basement. At one point in the video, Michael is seen standing on the porch of Laurie's house, fire ablaze behind him, with what appears to be a torrential downpour (or perhaps firefighter's water hoses) damping the raging flames.

If you're wondering what this video might reveal about the horrors Laurie and her family are facing in Halloween Kills, well, there's really not that much we can glean from it. As of the making of this video, the plots to both Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends are being kept under wraps.

While Green and McBride have both been candid about their sequels bringing an end to the Laurie Strode-Michael Myers saga, they have categorically refused to tip their hands as to whether either character will make it out alive, or if they'll both meet their ultimate dooms. Clearly, Laurie underestimated Michael's mortality in 2018's Halloween as she did on two separate occasions as a teen in the original movie. That means in the coming sequels she'll likely be forced to reckon with the notion that her decades of prep may have been for naught. We can only hope she's got a backup plan to deal with Michael.

For now, all we can really do is hope that David Gordon Green and the Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends crew are bringing as much fire and fury to the sequels as they did to the 2018 flick. We'll get our first look at those sequels in a little under a year's time, when Halloween Kills hits theaters on October 16, 2020 with Halloween Ends arriving almost exactly a year later on October 15, 2021. Until then, stay tuned to Looper and Jamie Lee Curtis' social media accounts, evidently for updates on Halloween Kills.
