But instead of just the original film or the more recent trilogy, we’re getting three installments that’ve been surprisingly grouped together. Along with the original 1978 Halloween, both Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers are also coming back to the big screen.

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-10-09 04:00:00
