Horror movie fans knows that the month of October isn’t complete without a screening of the Halloween series. This year, fans of the thriller franchise are more excited than ever for the newest and last installment, Halloween Ends.
This thirteenth (!) movie features favorites like Andi Matichak, Nick Castle, James Jude Courtney, Will Patton, Rohan Campbell and Kyle Richards (who’s reprising her role from the original movie back in 1978). The movie takes place four years after Laurie Strode’s (Jamie Lee Curtis) last encounter with masked killer Michael Meyers (Nick Castle/James Jude Courtney), who has been stalking her since she was a teenager.
Fans of the previous film know that Laurie’s daughter Karen (Judy Greer) was killed in the 2021 movie Halloween Kills. This time around, Karen’s daughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) is living with Laurie while she works on her memoir. At the same time, she tries to get help for her years of trauma that led to PTSD and alcoholism. But when a little boy is murdered and a local young man gets accused, Laurie realizes that Michael might be closer than she thought.
You might think you have to go to the theater to see this last showdown between Laurie and Michael, but you can actually watch it at home — for free! Here’s what you need to know about watching Halloween Ends online:
