A behind-the-scenes photo confirms that Halloween Ends has officially finished filming. David Gordon Green and Blumhouse launched a new Halloween series in 2018, retconning every other film in the franchise aside from John Carpenter's original 1978 slasher. The murderous Michael Myers returns to Haddonfield after 40 years of imprisonment to continue his killing spree and encounters Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis). Green followed the film up three years later with Halloween Kills.
Despite the generally poor reception for Halloween Kills, the movie was a success for Blumhouse in terms of Peacock viewership and box office sales, leading to the official production of the third — and final — Green film, Halloween Ends. The director and his team originally planned to film the finale and Kills concurrently, but Ends got pushed back due to the overwhelming schedule, and production began in early February 2022. The plot reportedly shifted because of the delay, from focusing on the same night in 2018 that the first two take place to four years later. Green confirmed that Halloween Ends is a much more "intimate work," focusing on Carpenter's legacy and even recognizing the COVID-19 pandemic.

Producer Ryan Turek has shared some of the production's journey on Instagram, including a new image that confirms the crew's wrap on the film. It shows crew members packed onto a two-lane road, and Turek states in the caption, "Last night of shooting. A wrap on our Halloween trilogy. Incredible journey. Amazing cast, amazing crew. While we obviously have post-production ahead of us, it's still an emotional night."
