Halloween Kills Photo Teases The Return Of A Familiar Element From The Original
Though we’ve still got another half a year to go until it finally gets here, this new photo from the set of
Halloween Kills promises that a familiar element from the original entry in the franchise will return. As a direct continuation of it, wiping every other sequel from continuity, 2018’s
Halloween paid homage to the 1978 movie in many ways and
Kills will only double down on that. For instance, a famous car from the first film will feature in this October’s follow-up.
Producer Ryan Freimann shared the below set pic on Instagram over the weekend. Though production wrapped up long ago in 2019, this is the first time we’ve seen this photo, and fans should recognize what it showcases instantly. “Classic car….hmm,” Freimann wrote in his caption. Yes, this is the same vehicle as the one that Michael Myers drove when he was stalking his prey around Haddonfield back in ’78.

Having originally been slated to arrive last October,
Halloween Kills found itself pushed back a full year due to the coronavirus outbreak, with the latest instalment in the iconic slasher series now currently set to arrive in theaters on October 15th 2021.
There is of course still the matter of the pandemic, but with some eight months still to go until the film’s release and the COVID-19 vaccine roll out well underway, there’s a glimmer of hope that things could return to some sort of new normality by the time Halloween rolls around.
