Halloween Kills Released Time Set at 2020 October

Horror as a whole has been in a renaissance for years, with plenty of exciting projects hitting theaters and even getting award attention in the process. But the genre is all about franchises, and there are few quite as iconic as Halloween.

David Gordon Green and Danny McBride brought the slasher back to theaters with their 2018 sequel, which broke records and inspired Blumhouse to green light two more sequels starting with Halloween Kills. And now we know a bit more about its setting and overall plot.

Halloween Kills' cast list showed how many returning characters are popping up in the highly anticipated sequel next summer. It turns out this is because Haddonfield is gearing up to fight against The Shape themselves, and smart money says they won't all make it out alive. It's going to be a long year of waiting for the movie to arrive in theaters.
