With a cheeky message on Twitter utilizing Jamie Lee Curtis, the marketing team behind Halloween Ends has confirmed that the film will be receiving a simultaneous release on Peacock just as they did with Halloween Kills. They’ve also released a new poster utilizing Michael and Laurie.
With its release date approaching, Halloween Ends has received an official certification from the MPAA. To no surprise, the film – like its twelve predecessors – has received an R rating. The reasoning for the R-rating is bloody horror violence and gore, language throughout and some sexual references.
After their success with the 4K editions of the first five films last October, Scream Factory is set to excite Halloween fans once again this fall! The Halloween 4K Collection (1995-2002) is set to be released on October 4, 2022, and features all new 4K editions of Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later and Halloween Resurrection! Additionally, The Curse of Michael Myers will also feature the film’s producer’s cut in 4K!
Unlike last year’s roll-out, which featured the films being released individually, this year’s line-up seems to be only be available as part of the box set. My personal hunch is this could be a contractual obligation with Miramax or Paramount, but Scream has at least provided matching slipcases inside the box for the three films.
If you pre-order the release from Shout Factory’s website, you’ll get their exclusive posters of the new artwork that also match last year’s as well.

Following leaks earlier this evening from its screening before Jordan Peele’s NOPE, Blumhouse, Universal and Miramax have released the first official trailer for the upcoming Halloween Ends!
SYNOPSIS: Four years after the events of last year’s Halloween Kills, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is living with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) and is finishing writing her memoir. Michael Myers hasn’t been seen since. Laurie, after allowing the specter of Michael to determine and drive her reality for decades, has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life. But when a young man, Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell), is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all.
Hot on the heels of Rob Zombie revealing the official one sheet for his upcoming The Munsters film, NECA has announced a set of figures for the three leads – Grandpa Munster, Lily Munster and Herman Munster – set for release in October. You can check out the one sheet and the toys below.
SYFY WIRE recently caught up with John Carpenter over the phone to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Thing, and we just couldn’t resist asking the celebrated filmmaker/musician about Halloween Ends, which he’s scoring alongside his son, Cody Carpenter, and godson, Daniel Davies.
“Well, it’s Halloween, and it ends,” he answered with a little chuckle. “You’ll see it’s a departure from the others. It’s interesting. Dave is a really good director. I love working with him.” Carpenter didn’t elaborate beyond that, though it’s already been confirmed that the film takes place four years after the events of Halloween 2018 and Halloween Kills — both of which unfolded on the same blood-soaked evening. Jamie Lee Curtis and Andi Matichak are slated to return as Laurie Strode and granddaughter Allyson, respectively.
Principal photography on Ends concluded earlier this year, with a poignant Instagram message written by producer Ryan Turek. David Gordon Green, who co-wrote the screenplay alongside Danny McBride, Chris Bernier, and Paul Brad Logan, spoke with SYFY WIRE last year and admitted that if left to his own devices, he’d continue the franchise indefinitely.
“I’m trying to restrain myself and behave and wrap it up in a conclusive way,” he added. “Because if I look at it as a personal opportunity for me to play with the characters and the world that John Carpenter and Debra Hill created, I wanna make it very contained and controllable. I want to be a curator of the property for a minute and I wanna do some quality control for lack of a better term and have some fun in that wheelhouse and then say goodnight and let the next generation and the next filmmaker and the next great creative idea take over with that mythology.”
Halloween Ends will be released on Friday, October 14 by way of Universal Pictures and Blumhouse.
