David Gordon Green on Halloween Kills, the Ending, and Halloween Ends
With Halloween Kills now playing in theaters and streaming for free on Peacock, I recently spoke to director David Gordon Green about the making of the sequel. During the wide-ranging interview, he talked about how he made a bet on the set of the first Halloween that if the film made one hundred million dollars he would get his first tattoo (which he shows on camera), if Kenny Powers could take down Michael Myers, why shooting all nights makes it a difficult shoot, if he had any battles with the MPAA over the brutal kill scenes, how they had to restage a sequence on a soundstage and it turned into one of his favorite sequences in the film, the ending, how the Blu-ray will have an extended cut, who gets to keep the mask, and more. In addition, Green talked about the final chapter in his trilogy, Halloween Ends, the status of the script, when the film takes place, how they’re going to start shooting in January, and more.
In Halloween Kills, which starts right as the last film ends, we are back in the town of Haddonfield and dealing with the aftermath of the events of 2018's Halloween, which saw Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), her daughter Karen (Judy Greer), and her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) narrowly escaping the clutches of Michael Myers. As they are rushing to the hospital to get Laurie Strode medical treatment, the fire department is rushing to her home to put out the blaze, which leads them to unintentionally set Myers free to continue his rampage. As you can imagine, chaos ensues, and Myers shows no mercy to the people he encounters. Moreover, Halloween Kills brings back several more characters from the iconic franchise - Anthony Michael Hall plays a grown-up Tommy Doyle, and Kyle Richards will reprise her role as Lindsey Wallace from the 1978 film. Nancy Stephens also returns to the franchise as Marion Chambers, former assistant to Dr. Loomis.

I've listened to a few people complain about this movie... Maybe I'm biased to the Halloween movies but I really was intrigued. Was it gory, yes. Some of the dialog was redundant (Evil dies tonight🤦🏻♂️) but let's face the facts. It technically is the 12th installment of a 40 year plus franchise. The original was released six years after the Godfather for Christs sake! I was pretty impressed! The flashbacks to the original, Dr. Loomis reincorporated into it, the simple fact that Michael is a very dark presence that disturbs people who can't fathom the idea of a mind thinking so heinous.....For a prelude to the final conclusion....I give it a thumbs up....but that's just me

I like HALLOWEEN 2018 better than HALLOWEEN KILLS. The reason is that in KILLS, the community beats the CRAP out of MICHAEL MYERS, leaving him for dead; however, he comes back to life, and somehow, without being seen, gets into his house and kills LAURIE STRODER's daughter. Can anyone explains that? Can anyone explains that?

And I loved how at the beginning of this interview he talks about his imposter syndrome...we artists, filmmakers, authors, musicians etc really relate. Good luck to his team for Act 3 of their opus.

I thought Kills was AWESOME!! Too many badass moments in this movie it was impossible not to enjoy myself! Ya their was some bad dialogue, and the way most of the legacy characters went out was kinda weak, but all of that got overshadowed for me with how cool this movie actually was to watch from start to finish😁 I came out of it thinking I like it more than 2018, but 2018 is a special film to me since it was my first Halloween movie I ever saw in theaters, plus it reinvigorated the Boogeyman for a new generation. So for that reason I personally like 2018 more, but Kills is one hell of a movie. Some of the best Michael Myers moments ever, it’s a bloody good time🤘🏻
This was another incredible addition to the Halloween franchise. It was excellent! I loved they way they brought back past characters. Well done!
They did an amazing job with this movie 9/10 🎃🔥
David Gordon Green hit it out of the park for me. I freaking loved it and the best for me was the 1st act and the 3rd. That last 20 minutes were some of the best in the franchise.

@American Faster Hate the new Star Wars. I acknowledge the flaws of Kills but still greatly enjoyed the movie. It's like a guilty pleasure.

Now, we see him when he's pissed and he's scarier than ever.
Halloween Kills was AWESOME! I don't care if anyone says or thinks different! This movie gave me EVERYTHING I want in a Halloween movie. In fact, everything I wanted from the 2018 movie that I didn't get, I got in H. Kills. The only way H18 is better than H. Kills is in its pacing. What really irks me is that most people who are complaining about H. Kills love H20, which is one of my least favorite movies in the franchise. So, whenever the H20 fans are disappointed, then it probably is good news for me!

The "Do it" & "Evil Dies Tonight" was mad cheesy. I really enjoyed it but some dialogue was so dramatic. I wish it was more natural like Halloween 1.. Totally 😅🎃🔪
I was salty that the daughter died but did she really? We all thought the sheriff got killed in the last one but learned he didn't. I'm hoping that's the case for the daughter because she was a beast! Loved the movie and thought the flash backs from 1978 were a brilliant edition to the film. We now know that the mask and Michael have some type of mystical bond and also his inner peace he finds from standing in Judith's window. The whole movie was geared towards the town hunting down and killing Michael yet and still, they had no answers for him. I liked the station wagon from the first Halloween movie parked in the back ground from the scene where the kid falls when Micheal walks up on him in the beginning. Dr. Loomis surprised us all with his appearance and they did a great job with the character that played him! That was on point right there

I think perhaps the BEST closing piece of dialogue for LAURIE to MICHAEL in HALLOWEEN ENDS before BE-HEADING him would be "C'MON MICHAEL...LET'S BOOGIE."
There were a few discrepancies I feel weren't properly addressed in the film. The scene where Lindsay is running from Michael, hides under the tree, and then there's a scene cut. When she is found, she's bloodied up, and I have no idea what went down. Did Michael find her? Then there's the scene with the car. Vanessa just disappears while all the action is going down, before she returns and attempts to shoot Michael. How were some of these inconsistencies missed? I just don't get it.

Solid interview. Loved the movie. This team is crushing it. I will say if you have read the script that is floating around the internet, the “extended ending” (which is really just the original ending) is absolutely jaw-dropping and although I totally trust this team when they say that it would have been inappropriate for the momentum that they wanted to create going into the third movie I do think the decision maybe did result in an ending that wasn’t as good as it could have been. But I’m hoping the end result is that the trilogy as a whole benefits from this slightly changed direction.

Hello Halloween Fans, I just finished watching Halloween Kills for the second time, and this question should be in all of the fans minds....At the end of the movie when Michael kills several people when they tried to trap him, a few blocks away from his childhood home, there is a scene where the Police, EMT's, Allyson, and Karen all were consoling each other on the porch, of Michael's childhood home, and Karen decides to walk inside the house, and up the stairs and look out of Michael's sisters room - Question - How the hell did Michael go from two blocks and killing several people, to up the stairs of his house (assuming the front door was the only entry to the second floor since built in the 60's), and be in the same room where Karen was standing looking out the window, with sirens and others still outside, and kill her??? And also with Karen screaming, nobody heard her?? Seems like an illusion or Karen just imagined this, why would Michael risk getting caught in his house when the Police were just outside on his lawn. Karen did close her eyes for a moment then opened, then was stabbed by Michael, could she have been dreaming, or was this real?? David Gordan Green - Please explain this to the fans. Thank you. (Looking forward to the Ends movie later this year)
Very good questions. Well done!

My theory on this whole Halloween saga is that Michael is superhuman. It has nothing to do with his mask and the Shamrock thing. Maybe Judith Myers was playing with an Oujia board and open a gateway for a demon to enter the house and jump into little Michael Myers. Then behold we have a superhuman serial killer.

Say what you want , but you can’t say he doesn’t care about the franchise of Halloween. That’s a rare occurrence in Hollywood.
I wouldn’t call it a masterpiece. Though better than all the other previous films (excluding 2018, 1,2, and 4. So this one ranks 5-6 of all the Halloweens. Where I feel they went south on this one was the Hospital scenes, to unrealistic of events, the chasing of that other inmate which didn’t do anything for the story, some of the dialogue (all the talk of evil, etc, are lines you’d hear Loomis say, but there’s no Loomis. So they just ended up coming out corny), too many previous characters brought back from the original (for example, what was the point of having Nurse Marion come back only to just be slaughtered almost right away), Allyson never told anyone about that the reason Laurie and Michael ended up meeting each other again was because of Sartain, not because he was after her) which would’ve ended that debate. Should’ve focused more on Allyson, and a few other nitpicks. Not a bad film, but not great either. The kills, the first 20 minutes or so, the last 15-20 minutes, the score, and some other bits are what saved it, if at all.
Halloween kills should have been 2 hours plus they rushed everything in this movie and that's why it came out flat. Still liked it though just because I am a Halloween fanatic.
Is it just me or did it look like a female under the mask right before the credits rolled? - It was a female under the mask in Halloween 4 when Dr. Lumas tried to shoot on the stairway but the sheriff stopped him - Even psychopath kids grow up - Something to think about

I really enjoyed this interview and I’m very appreciative that we are getting Halloween films with Jamie Lee Curtis in them but I have to say, even though I was so super excited about this movie I never thought I’d be so on the fence with it. Hear me out… For me, Anthony Michael Hall is utterly horrendous in this movie.🤦♀️ I watched it multiple times now and it’s so much more enjoyable AFTER I fast forwarded through the way too long Tommy speech at the silly bar with the puppet and ventriloquist.🙄 Such insufferable dialogue.🤦♀️ That long, dragged out hospital mixup could have been time given to a Lindsey & Laurie scene at the hospital and a Laurie & Sheriff Bracket scene when she woke up after surgery. Powerful moments that could have been.🤦 There needed to be much more screen time for Lindsey & Marion. Why did it have to be them at a silly bar? Why couldn’t we see each of them in their homes watching the news and then they each rush to the hospital?🤦♀️ Was a second fight between Lindsey & Michael cut from the film? I can’t figure out why she was in such worse shape and down near the bridge when they found her. Something is missing. Tommy’s line to Lonnie outside about Laurie “I’m glad she survived “. This is supposed to be Tommy & Laurie. That delivery by him was absolutely awful.🤦♀️ HATED what Frank said to Laurie, “it’s not about you”. Am I the only one who remembers Halloween 1978? She saw him stalk her all day. He then killed her friends and put them on display for her. He then repeatedly attacked her. That’s all she knows and has ever been aware of. How could she not always believe that it’s about her? I HATE that line!🤦♂️ As for Halloween ENDS, they have until January to whip up half way decent dialogue. I hope they use these next few months wisely.
Was excited to see the follow-up to 2018 film this one felt like a whole new team was working on it though the dialog was absolute trash. The tone went from serious in previous film to feeling like I was watching a cartoon with Elmer Fudd running around screaming "evil dies tonight" in this one. It sucks that Karen died at the end because I was really looking forward to her saying "Gotcha" when she tricks Michael again like last 2 films 🙄. Long story short I hated it and I'm upset that I did because I had such high expectations. It was like getting the opportunity to go down on Scarlett Johansson just to find out that she wipes from back-to-front I'm still gonna eat it I'm just not gonna rush to tell my friends

What's gonna happen? Alison takes his leg then someone takes his arm then Laurie takes his head!
I hope Laurie doesn't become the default lead after this trilogy, without JLC the character is practically worthless and we could really use A. a break from the constant presence of the character (every damn film for 20+ years and rarely with anything new to do) B. a movie that balances the dual protagonists out a bit again with Loomis (plus he really is important to Myers' character and the series' core). Frankly, even if Ends is amazing, I don't want people to continue this timeline - almost every interesting part in it is used up by the end of Kills and more will follow in Ends.

I dont see how Halloween Ends is not her last movie in the franchise. Unless there is yet another reboot, which this trilogy so far is good enough to be Halloweens swan song

Like with Logan, anything they would do with Laurie simply would not be able to carry the same weight it has in these last two movies.

@@evo2542 they’ll reboot and recast Laurie and Loomis properly it’s only a matter of time. I want films without any version of Laurie in the forefront for at least a few entires after all this since 1998.

@@evo2542 Eh. Laurie hasn’t been handled well at all recently, just a cartoon character. Laurie was better as a character in H20 and H1.
Thought the movie was awful - bad dialog, too much exposition, no character growth, super choppy, but had some good scenes like the flashbacks. The ending was weird.
Great mask, great kills, solid visuals but same old format that we have seen before.
Puttin some respect on Vice Principals 🤘
i like how michael won in this film
I can't be the only one that felt it was a bit awkward in some parts of this interview 😅
The interviewer looks like dude from Mythbusters lbvs
The PROBLEM with this trioligy is he says I thought nobody would see this film he said his would be Halloween 11 and only 7 or 8 people in the film .. Halloween Fandom is BIG. DDG that's been the PROBLEM HALLOWEEN fans like myself want a great movie NOT a bunch of fan service . Come on you did one great thing hired James Jude Courtney to portray Micheal he is awesome then we get to ENDS and you sideline him . Ridiy
Halloween 2018 was a masterpiece

Halloween 1978 was epic!
The dialog could’ve been better, in my opinion I didn’t like the Tommy Doyle character, he was a bit overrated and not interesting at all.. Overall, Michael is badass and I’m sure I’m not the only one who was rooting for Michael in this movie! Halloween Kills ranks #1 in the entire series combined.. Again, my opinion 🎃…
I actually had to watch Dlyans kill scene through my fingers 😨

Xcept 1978
Or the house is just haunted or cursed.
Mick Taylor would nail Michael.
Pleaseeeeee no covid or politics in Halloween fucking Ends.
