David Gordon Green’s forthcoming slasher film Halloween Kills is set to continue the story of Laurie Strode, the former sister of Michael Myers and sole survivor of his initial spree of killings in Haddonfield, Illinois. Laurie’s genealogical relationship to Michael was revealed in Rick Rosenthal’s 1981 sequel Halloween II, a movie that was retconned away and replaced by Green’s 2018 film Halloween, which was itself both a direct legacy sequel to the 1978 Compass International classic as well as the opening installment of a new Halloween trilogy by Blumhouse Productions, who acquired the rights to the franchise after Dimension Films let them lapse following Rob Zombie’s 2009 sequel to his 2007 reboot.

Fans rejoiced when the news broke that we’d be getting not one but two new Halloween movies over the next few years. Halloween Kills will be released in 2020, with Halloween Ends following a year later. They’re building on the foundation created by Halloween (2018), in which director David Gordon Green and writer Danny McBride reinvigorated the franchise by positioning it as a sequel to the original 1978 classic. I appreciated the reverence that Green and McBride showed for John Carpenter’s original, and it seems the two sequels are set to do the same.
That’s because, in a set picture released today, it’s been confirmed that Charles Cyphers will return as Sheriff Leigh Brackett. Brackett has appeared in Halloween (1978), Halloween II and Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. He’s got a personal stake in stopping Michael as well, with his daughter Annie having fallen victim to...

Another character from the original Halloween is now set to return for the upcoming sequel, as it’s been confirmed that Robert Longstreet has been tapped to play Lonnie Elam in Halloween Kills. The notorious bully from the first film will join fellow Haddonfield natives Tommy Doyle, Lindsey Wallace and Laurie Strode as they try to take out Michael Myers once and for all.
There’d been lots of speculation that Lonnie would return to the series, considering that his son Cameron dated Laurie’s granddaughter Allyson in the 2018 Halloween. The boy seemed to be great at first, too, but ultimately turned out to be just as big of a jerk as his dad. While he was spared from The Shape’s blade in the last flick, it seems likely that both he and his father won’t survive too much longer.
It remains to be seen how fans will...
