Halloween Kills

***Halloween Kills*** is a 2021 American slasher film directed by David Gordon Green and written by Green, Danny McBride, and Scott Teems. The film is a sequel to 2018's *Halloween* and the twelfth installment in the *Halloween* franchise. It stars Jamie Lee Curtis and James Jude Courtney, who reprise their roles as Laurie Strode and Michael Myers respectively. Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, and Will Patton also reprise their roles from the previous film, with Anthony Michael Hall and Thomas Mann joining the cast. The film, which begins where the previous film ended, sees Strode and her family continuing to fend off Myers, this time with the help of the Haddonfield community.

Jason Blum served as a producer on the film through his Blumhouse Productions banner, alongside Malek Akkad and Bill Block. Before the release of the film, McBride confirmed that he and Green were originally intending to pitch two films that would be shot back-to-back and then decided against it, waiting to see the reaction to the first film. Following the critical and commercial success of the 2018 film, development on the sequel promptly began as early as October 2018. By February 2019, Teems was hired to co-write the script. The film's title was officially announced in July 2019, along with its sequel. Principal photography began in September 2019 in Wilmington, North Carolina and concluded that November.

Following a year delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, *Halloween Kills* was theatrically released in 2021, and would later be released on DVD, Blu-Ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray in the United States on January 17, 2022 by Studio Distribution Services (the home media distribution joint venture between Warner Bros Home Entertainment and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment), and in the United Kingdom and Ireland by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment with distribution handled by Warner Bros Home Entertainment.
