John Carpenter to Score Upcoming ‘Halloween’ Sequels

Halloween 2018

Horror legend John Carpenter returned to the Halloween franchise in 2018 by working on the score, and he’ll be doing it again for the upcoming sequels Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends. By scoring the movie along with son Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies, the music was certainly on point in director David Gordon Green’s highly successful movie. There’s definitely no replacing Carpenter, so news about his return is a great to know about the upcoming sequels.

“I loved it, it was a lot of fun,” Carpenter recently said to ComicBook.com about his involvement in the 2018 movie. He adds: “And I’ll do the score, do a new score. That’s always fun.” When pressed on the matter, Carpenter confirms he is “on board” to score the films, and is not just in talks to do so. It’s also worth noting Carpenter will be producing the movies as well, according to the report.

David Gordon Green will also be back in the director’s seat to helm the follow-up to the 2018 film. Also confirmed to be coming back by producer Jason Blum is star Jamie Lee Curtis, once again reprising the role of Laurie Strode. More than likely, the movies will finally culminate her long-running feud with Michael Myers once and for all, even if it results in Laurie’s (third) death.

Halloween Kills is set to be released in theaters next fall with a targeted release date of Oct. 16, 2020. The next installment, Halloween Ends, will then arrive on Oct. 15, 2021. Time will tell if the latter really turns out to be the very end of the franchise, but it would appear to at least be the end of the road for the original storyline with Laurie and Michael. Still, if those movies make the same crazy amounts of cash pulled in by the 2018 film, then chances are Michael Myers isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
