Blumhouse Halloween Trilogy

The Blumhouse Trilogy refers to the Halloween trilogy produced by Blumhouse released between 2018 and 2022. It consists of the original Halloween (1978) directed by John Carpenter and the Blumhouse trilogy directed by David Gordon Green,  Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills (2021) and the forthcoming concluding chapter, Halloween Ends (2022).

The trilogy was first established with the film, Halloween (2018), which shared the same title as the original film (as did its 2007 remake). The 2018 film is a direct sequel to the original, ignoring all sequels including Halloween II (1981), thus creating this timeline that only branches out from Halloween (1978). It was also notably co-produced by original director, John Carpenter.

As a direct sequel to the original film, this notably alters Laurie Strode's history. In this version of the story, Laurie is a victim of an attack by a complete, unrelated stranger named Michael Myers, an escaped mental patient. He killed four people on Halloween, 1978, exactly 15 years after killing his sister, Judith in 1963.

The 2018 film was extended into a trilogy, which includes its sequel, Halloween Kills, where Kyle Richards and Nancy Stephens reprised their roles from the original, as Lindsey Wallace and Marion Chambers respectively. Similar to the original Halloween II, it is set on the same night as the 2018 film. The third and final chapter of the Blumhouse trilogy, Halloween Ends (2022), is both set and due for release 4 years later after the 2018 sequel.
