Four years after the events of last year’s Halloween Kills, Laurie 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; The Hardy Boys, Virgin River), 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.

About Halloween Ends Movie:
It is the sequel to Halloween Kills (2021), the thirteenth installment in the Halloween franchise, and the final film in the trilogy of sequels that started with the 2018 film, which directly follows the 1978 film.
In July 2019, Universal Pictures revealed the titles and release dates of the two sequels, with Halloween Kills (2021) and Halloween Ends set to be released in 2020 and 2021, respectively. It was originally planned to film Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends back-to-back, but did not occur due to the “intense schedule”.
Filming officially began on January 19, 2022, in Savannah, Georgia under the working title Cave Dweller. Filming concluded on March 9, 2022.
The score for Halloween Ends was composed by John Carpenter, his son Cody Carpenter, and Daniel Davies, who had previously collaborated on the first two films in the series.
Halloween Ends premiered at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles on October 11, 2022, and was theatrically released in the United States on October 14, 2022, by Universal Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who criticized its focus on the new character Corey and generally deemed it a disappointing conclusion to the trilogy.
The film started streaming simultaneously on paid tiers of Peacock.
The film grossed $105 million against a $33 million production budget, making it the lowest-grossing of the trilogy of films by Green.
Halloween Ends was released digitally on November 15, 2022, and was released on Blu-ray and DVD on December 27, 2022.
