Halloween is also a perfect excuse to binge-watch creepy and scary movies just to get into the spirit.

One movie that fans have been itching to watch since earlier this year would be

the direct sequel to the 1978 film of the same name.

Set 40 years after the original film, the plot follows Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) as she prepares to face Michael Myers in a final confrontat­ion upon returning to Haddonfiel­d, Illinois, after his killing spree on Halloween night in 1978.

Fans are especially excited to see Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick Castle reprise their roles as Laurie and Michael.

Laurie is dealing with post-traumatic stress after she escaped from being murdered by Michael 40 years ago. She was the sole survivor.

And it’s not just about Laurie. She has a daughter who was taken from her by the state. She also has a granddaugh­ter, who is now 17.

In the eerie trailer, a bus transporti­ng inmates crashes, allowing Michael to escape and this is where the horror unfolds.

A very much older Curtis looks badass albeit unrecognis­able with her long grey hair.

Apparently, she has been preparing for Michael’s return.

“I prayed every night that he would ecape. So I could kill him,” she said.
