An all-new trailer for the upcoming Halloween sequel hit the internet this morning, delivering audiences a different side of both Laurie Strode and Michael Myers than what we had seen in the first teaser.
Videos by ComicBook.com
The initial teaser leaned more heavily into the overall concept of the new film, showing that a documentary crew was coming to interview Myers, while offering audiences brief glimpses of Laurie’s mental state after her encounter with the killer 40 years earlier. This new trailer leaned more into the path of destruction we can expect Myers to create when he arrives in his hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois, in addition to showing that Laurie is more than prepared for the showdown.
Additionally, this new trailer showed off the filmmaking sensibilities of director David Gordon Green and the mood he’s creating with the upcoming sequel.
Scroll down to see what’s exciting fans about the Halloween sequel before it lands in theaters on October 19th!

Walking Evil
Michael Myers just walking into random houses just butchering anybody sees. THAT is The Shape right there! A walking evil with no rhyme or reason for what he’s doing. October needs to get here like right now. #Halloween #HalloweenMovie
