Actor Andi Matichak reveals that the tragic opening scene of David Gordon Green's Halloween Ends was initially less ambiguous before being rewritten.
Spoilers for Halloween Ends below!The tragic opening scene to Halloween Ends was originally less ambiguous. Written and directed by David Gordon Green, the latest entry in the long-running slasher horror franchise features the return of Jamie Lee Curtis in her final outing as Laurie Strode, concluding the H40 trilogy.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Halloween Ends begins on Halloween Night, one year after Myers wreaked havoc on Haddonfield. Corey babysits Jeremy Allen , a spoiled rich kid who pushes Corey's buttons, berating him with insults. When Jeremy pulls a prank on Corey, setting up his house to make it seem like Myers is inside and attacking Jeremy, Corey attempts to help but finds himself locked in a small attic room.
The tail end of how he died was left vague by design. There were a couple iterations where I believe [Corey] had the knife as a weapon, thinking Michael was in the house, and then it ends up [in Jeremy]. Or Jeremy had it, and then he ended up almost impaling himself with it as he fell. So the whole thing was ambiguous by design, but no, there was nothing reshot of that.
How Halloween Ends Opening Scene Parallels Original Halloween Opening? Although brutal and tragic, keen Halloween fans may have noticed that Halloween Ends' opening scene is similar to the one in Halloween , the film that kicked off the popular franchise. In the original, Myers grabs a kitchen knife, marches upstairs, and stabs his sister, marking the beginning of the evil inside him.
Halloween Ends may not have been well received by critics or audiences, but it attempted to wrap up a franchise that began 40 years prior. Using themes and imagery from the original Halloween film, Green's conclusion to his H40 trilogy definitely closes out Myers' story. Although the Halloween franchise has been resurrected multiple times throughout the decades since its inception, Halloween Ends will likely be the final on-screen appearance of Myers for some time.
