Jamie Lee Curtis announces she’s wrapped filming on Halloween Ends. Curtis first played famous horror movie final girl Laurie Strode opposite famed horror villain Michael Myers in John Carpenter’s original 1978 Halloween.
Carpenter of course left the Halloween movies behind after the first one but Curtis was far from finished playing Laurie Strode. Indeed she returned right away to reprise the role in the very direct sequel Halloween II. Curtis then gave her scream-queen talents a rest for nearly two decades, finally returning in 1998’s Halloween H20 and then again in 2002’s Halloween: Resurrection. Another long break was then in the offing until David Gordon Green coaxed Curtis back to battle Michael Myers once again in Halloween 2018 and its 2021 sequel Halloween Kills.
Curtis of course will be back to perhaps put an end to Michael Myers once-and-for-all in the upcoming trilogy-capper Halloween Ends. It remains to be seen if indeed Halloween ends with the next of Green’s films, but Curtis is definitely done shooting the third movie as she just revealed on Instagram, commemorating the occasion with a series of behind-the-scenes images.

The title Halloween Ends certainly brings a sense of finality to the next movie in the series but of course the Halloween films have enjoyed teasing fans ever since the very first movie, which famously ended on a seemingly dead Michael Myers mysteriously disappearing. Fans indeed learned the lesson with that first film that Myers is apparently impossible to kill, a fact that was driven home all over again when Myers survived the raging inferno at Laurie Strode’s house in Halloween 2018 and came back to inflict more carnage on the people of Haddonfield in Halloween Kills. The people of Haddonfield obviously were up for a fight in Kills, as evidenced by their oft-repeated battle cry “Evil dies tonight.” But evil as embodied by Myers once again did not die, leaving Curtis’ Strode with some more work to do in order to bring the saga of Halloween to a conclusion.
Obviously the reason Halloween and Myers keep returning is all down to the enduring popularity of the franchise and the possibility of studios continuing to reap financial rewards from unleashing terror on willing audiences. It does seem however that Halloween Ends will truly be the last go-around for Curtis, who now has nearly fifty years under her belt as an iconic horror movie performer. Of course as previously stated, it’s never a great idea to declare either Myers or the Halloween franchise dead, as both have been resurrected many more times than anyone ever could have predicted. It indeed seems a fair bet that Myers at least will be back at some point in the future, even if Curtis no longer wishes to serve to as his foe.
