David Gordon Green’s reboot trilogy comes to an end with this final movie, but could this really be the end of the Halloween movie franchise that has been ongoing for 44 years?

Yes, in fact, the movie does end Michael Myers and with him the whole franchise.

The writers had viewers fooled for a moment thinking that maybe there would be an opportunity for a spin off, but they killed that too.

There is a four-year gap between the events of “Halloween Kills” and “Halloween Ends.” In these four years, Laurie Strode went from crazy paranoid grandma to sweet old woman who writes a memoir.

Laurie and her granddaughter, Allyson Strode, live together in Haddonfield, the same Haddonfield that blames Laurie for Michael Myers’ last killing spree.

Corey Cunningham is another member of the community who is con- ‘Halloween Ends’ puts lid on franchise sidered psycho, the reason being that a couple of years earlier a babysitting accident ended with a dead kid on his hands.

Laurie saves Corey, a grown man, from the town bullies, a bunch of high school kids. For whatever reason she thinks that he and Allyson would get along, so she introduces them to each other.

Then one night Corey has an encounter with Michael Myers, and they sort of bond and take on a mentor-mentee relationship. The more time Corey spends with Michael, the more the evil starts to take over.

The movie then becomes the Corey origin story.

For a split second there’s a little hope that this isn’t the end of the franchise, but the writers cut that dream short.

The movie ends in a way that seems to give everyone closure, leaving the town with a sense of relief and Laurie with a sense of freedom.
