Jamie Lee Curtis, star of the original Halloween, shared a new photo from the upcoming sequel in honor of the holiday from which the franchise got its name. In the picture, Curtis is seen laying in the fallen leaves with serial killer Michael Myers, both of them staring up at the camera.
Along with the photo, Curtis tweeted out a small tease about the new movie. “SOME WOUNDS NEVER HEAL,” Curtis wrote. “Michael & I will see you all next Halloween 10/19/18.” She also included the hashtag, #H40, since the new sequel comes out 40 years after the original.
