We heard murmurs of this last week – knew something was up. Had even heard rumor of the back to back films but today – it all became official. Micheal and Laurie will be back and here’s all the details.
We’re getting two films – one in Oct. 2020 – the second in Oct. 2021. Up first will be HALLOWEEN KILLS – the following year we get HALLOWEEN ENDS. Here’s how the press announcement explains it all.
“Universal Pictures today announced release dates for two new films in the iconic Halloween series.
