Michael Myers brandishes a blood-soaked knife – and tussles with Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie Strode – in new Halloween Ends images. Halloween creator John Carpenter is skeptical that the franchise will indeed end with David Gordon Green’s trilogy-capper. Nevertheless, Halloween Ends is billed as the final battle between masked killer Michael Myers and his favorite victim Laurie Strode.
Myers and Strode of course first met in the original Halloween way back in 1978. Curtis then returned to fight Myers again in 1981’s Halloween II before taking a break from the series. But the lure of horror proved too strong for Curtis who returned for 1998’s Halloween H20: 20 Years Later and 2002’s Halloween: Resurrection. Another hiatus was then in the offing, ending when Curtis climbed aboard director Green’s 2018 Halloween reboot and its 2021 sequel Halloween Kills.

It’s easy to be skeptical that Halloween Ends will now mark the end of Myers and Strode’s decades-long battle, given all the times the series has been resurrected in the past. But it does seem that now is the time to finally bury the knife deep into the back of Halloween and put a satisfying capper on Curtis’ time in the franchise. New Halloween Ends images indeed tease what could be the climactic fight between Strode and Myers. Someone seems to have come out on the wrong end of a tussle with Myers at any rate, as two more images show the masked killer brandishing a very bloody knife.

Fans are indeed in suspense about how Halloween Ends actually ends. As it turns out, director Green isn’t so sure about the ending himself, as he confessed recently while talking about the film’s editing process. “It changes every day,” Green admitted to Empire, adding “I speak with John [Carpenter] and Jamie Lee Curtis regularly about it.”
No matter how Halloween Ends ultimately turns out, it’s certain that a lot of blood will be spilled along the way. Indeed, another recent image from the film showed Myers in the process of slicing up one of his hapless victims while again rampaging through the sleepy town of Haddonfield. Evil clearly did not die in Halloween Kills, despite the town’s efforts to put an end to Myers’ reign of terror once-and-for-all. Now that fans have been shown these few still images teasing a very bloody Halloween Ends, all that remains is for the film to finally release a full trailer. One should be coming along shortly, given that it’s only a little more than a month until the film hits Peacock and theaters.
