Blumhouse CEO and Halloween Ends producer Jason Blum discusses whether the final installment of the Halloween sequel trilogy will be the last appearance of Michael Myers. Director David Gordon Green brought life back to the Halloween franchise starting with 2018's Halloween, which served as a direct sequel to John Carpenter's original 1978 classic, ignoring all previous sequels. Green's Halloween saw the return of Jamie Lee Curtis to the role of Laurie Strode, having spent her life anticipating the return of the masked murderer, Michael Myers.
Halloween Kills followed in 2021, picking up the same night as the events of 2018's Halloween. Kills saw Laurie sidelined in the hospital, recovering from her wounds as the town rose up against Michael Myers, who continued his killing spree in Haddonfield.
