In David Gordon Green's "Halloween Kills," it's revealed that Michael Myers is responsible for the trauma of an entire town, not just a few victims. The survivors of Myers' 1978 rampage and the citizens of Haddonfield, Il in general are shown to still be dealing with the aftershocks of The Shape's evil, a condition that has lain dormant for 40 years until his reemergence in 2018. Myers' new reign of terror causes a mounting mass hysteria within Haddonfield, resulting in violent and erratic behavior from a mob previously made up of good people that can only be described as self-destructive.
The leader of that mob, Tommy Doyle (Anthony Michael Hall), has been particularly traumatized ever since he and Lindsay Wallace (Kyle Richards) were saved by their babysitter, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), on that fateful night in '78. So it's no surprise that in an earlier draft of the script for "Kills,...

Something I’m sure that many longtime Halloween fans have loved about the line of movies produced by Blumhouse Productions is how they’ve managed to secure the services of several franchise veterans. And to the delight of all, the sequel, Halloween Kills, has locked down the likes of Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick Castle, who’ll reprise their roles as Laurie Strode and Michael Myers, respectively.
If you’ve been keeping up with recent news regarding the flick, then you’ve heard about how Anthony Michael Hall has been cast as an adult Tommy Doyle. If that name rings it a bell, it should, because his child counterpart was babysat on “the night He came home.”
Believe it or not, this decision hasn’t sat well with everyone, as some fans wish for the original Tommy Doyle actor, Brian Andrews, to return. After all, if Kyle Richards is doing likewise for Lindsay Wallace,...

One element among many that I loved about 2018’s Halloween was how it was so perfectly intertwined with the 1978 original. Naturally, that came with the territory because David Gordon Green’s blockbuster ignored all films sandwiched in between, but I couldn’t help thinking how similar the two flicks felt. In my view, Green understands what makes this franchise tick almost as well as John Carpenter himself.
As you no doubt remember, Jamie Lee Curtis made an unforgettable return to the Laurie Strode role, which she’s actually set to reprise yet again in the upcoming Halloween Kills. Providing the assist will be that of Anthony Michael Hall as a grownup Tommy Doyle. Paul Rudd had actually been sought out at first but his Ghostbusters 3 filming schedule prevents him from showing up. That said, fans of The Curse of Michael Myers will now have to get used to seeing a new Tommy in town.
