Halloween Ends is set to be released in October 2020

Ever since John Carpenter’s classic slasher, ‘Halloween’, came out in 1978, there has not been a true sequel or continuation in the franchise until only recently. With Cinema-Fórum publishing the official press release on Wednesday, December 13th, we now know that ‘Halloween Ends’ is slated for an October 2020 release.

Blumhouse Productions:

“Blumhouse Productions has officially announced that production of ‘Halloween Ends’, a sequel to John Carpenter’s iconic 1978 film, will begin October 2019, with the cast and crew expected to be announced at a later date.” In the press release, Blumhouse also revealed that the creative direction of ‘Halloween Ends’ will be a direct result of John Carpenter’s influence. “The directorial reins for this sequel will rest in the hands of Troy Nixey (‘Lights Out’, ‘It Follows’).”

Although it has not been officially announced by Blumhouse or any other parties involved, it is assumed that Ellie Cornell (Jamie Lloyd) and Kyle Richards (Rachel Carruthers) from Rob Zombie’s ‘Halloween’ and Tyler Mane (Pumpkinhead) from Don Coscarelli’s ‘Phantasm’ will return as their respective characters for this sequel.
