If Halloween 2017 belonged to Jigsaw – and Happy Death Day, and Amityville: The Awakening, and any other horror film that released in time for All Hallow’s Eve – then this year’s spooky holiday is all about the real Halloween.
On the one hand, John Carpenter’s inimitable slasher will be celebrating its 40th anniversary – yes, it’s going on 40 years since Michael Myers first stalked the unsuspecting residents of Haddonfield – while on the big screen, Blumhouse and David Gordon Green will be rolling out their own Halloween movie, one which is poised to pick up shortly after the 1978 original left off.
In doing so, Green and Co. plan to ignore all other installments in the hit horror franchise in favor of Carpenter’s classic. And it’s this soft retcon that has allowed for the return of Laurie Strode, the Haddonfield scream queen played by the great Jamie Lee Curtis.
