Michael Myers is back to kill in the new exhilarating trailer for “Halloween,” and Laurie Strode is ready to face him.

The trailer opens to Michael walking the streets of a neighborhood on Halloween, killing more women who are minding their own business in their respective homes. The end of the trailer shows an epic stand-off between Michael and Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), with images that will leave you sleepless.

Strode will have her final confrontation with the masked figure in the film, who has haunted her since she barely escaped his killing spree four decades earlier. This time, she won’t be the one running.

Nick Castle, who played Myers and credited as “The Shape” in the original 1978 “Halloween” movie, is reprising the role in the upcoming film, an individual with knowledge of the casting told TheWrap last December.

David Gordon Green and Danny McBride are scripting the film, due on Oct. 19, 2018, with Green directing. John Carpenter, director of the original 1978 “Halloween,” is executive producing. Jason Blum is producing alongside Malek Akkad. “Halloween” will be distributed worldwide by Universal Pictures.
