David Gordon Green’s sequel and revival of the Halloween movie franchise is coming to theaters this October. I am sure we are all familiar with the trailer by now, but a fan on YouTube has created a fun new version of it. Patrick J. Doody of the VideoArchiveProject YouTube channel has re imagined the trailer as a 1981 TV spot and the editing certainly gives the trailer a nostalgic, retro aesthetic – something fans will enjoy.
You can watch it below:
The new Halloween, which acts as a direct sequel to the first set 40 years later, will give us a final confrontation between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers. Jamie Lee Curtis is reprising her role as the iconic final girl while Nick Castle returns as the masked killer, sharing the role with actor and stunt performer James Jude Courtney.
Judy Greer plays Laurie’s daughter and will play the lead role, Laurie’s granddaughter. Also cast is Virginia “Ginny” Gardner, Miles Robbins, Dylan Arnold and Drew Scheid.
In Halloween:
“A British documentary crew comes to the States to visit Michael in prison for a retrospective of the maniac’s night of terror — but their project becomes way more interesting when Myers escapes custody, retrieves his signature mask and seeks revenge on Laurie, with others naturally being part of his impressive career body count along the way.
In the decades following the fateful Halloween night that forever altered the former babysitter’s life, Laurie has armed and prepped herself for Michael’s inevitable return — to the detriment of her family, including daughter Karen and granddaughter Allyson.”
Halloween will be released in theaters everywhere on October 19.
