Michael Myers and James Jude Courtney have teamed up to give us the ultimate Halloween scaries on the twelfth installment of 'Halloween' franchise films, 'Halloween Kills'. Alongside the return of the infamous white mask, we will also see some familiar faces reprising their iconic roles from the franchise.

Read on to know all about the upcoming Halloween movie that's set to send a shiver down your spine.

Release date

'Halloween Kills' was originally set to release in October 2020. But thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the release date has been pushed to October 15, 2021, when it will be available for viewing in theatres. 

Plot

The precise details of the plot are still unknown. But the teaser for the film gives us enough hints on what we can expect to see in the film. In the teaser for the film we see the Strode ladies, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), and her daughter Karen Nelson (Judy Greer), and Karen's daughter, Allyson Nelson (Andi Matichak) coming face to face with Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney) once again. In the background, we hear Curtis's voice narrating, "Next Halloween, when the sun sets and someone is alone, he kills," while we see clips of new murders.
