After a freak accident babysitting on Halloween, Corey Cunningham becomes a pariah in Haddonfield. Four years later, Laurie Strode is writing a memoir, has gotten into hair care and fixes Allyson up with the misunderstood Corey. Meanwhile, Michael Myers has been habitating in a sewer like a ninja turtle. After Corey encounters him, he slowly descends into madness and embarks on a bloody rampage. Michael appears at Laurie's house for a final showdown where he is finally killed for good. An impromptu funeral procession to the junkyard by the entire town ensues and Michael is disposed of in an industrial shredder.
Halloween Ends is a completely unsatisfying ending to a mediocre trilogy. Halloween (2018) was certainly an improvement on Rob Zombie's Halloween II (2009), but had its share of problems. Halloween Kills (2021) was mostly a plotless gorefest. Halloween Ends just didn't feel like a Halloween movie. Leaving Michael out mostly until the end was ridiculous as was the lack of scares and tension. Going for something different is not always the best choice.
Halloween Ends was filmed in Savannah, Midway and Pooler, GA
Location: Laurie & Allyson's House
Address: 1206 E Duffy Street, Savannah, GA

Having been an extra on and off the last eighteen years, rarely did I ever work on a show I watched or a movie I ended up seeing. As a huge, longtime fan of the Halloween franchise, I was super excited when I was chosen to be an extra in Halloween Ends. It was during the reshoots in June. Wearing fall clothes in Savannah enduring humid 80+ degree weather was not fun, but being an extra is far from glamourous. Being a part of the new ending, having Jamie Lee Curtis a few feet away and getting to touch Michael Myers will forever be the best extra experience I ever had.

So cool brother!! As a lifelong Halloween fan I'm jealous! But, I'm also disappointed in the new film. What were they thinking?? I'd rather have had Michael die in the street in Kills. I wonder what the story was originally, since it was all supposed to be in the same night.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bronson! Good to hear from you. I don't know what they were thinking. It's like they got an idea for a movie and then shoehorned Halloween in there.
DeleteAlso, do you know what the original ending was? Or why they had to reshoot??
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what the original ending was but it tested poorly so they called me and asked if I could help make it better :)
