Jamie Lee Curtis Interview: Halloween Ends SPOILERS
856[Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for Halloween Ends.]
After surviving her first encounter with Michael Myers in the 1978 original, Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode was changed forever. The ever-present threat of the boogeyman heavily impacted her quality of life, and also her family’s. When Michael returns in 2018, that battle does bring Laurie, her daughter, Karen (Judy Greer), and her granddaughter, Allyson (Andi Matichak) together, but not without great loss. When we reunite with Laurie in Halloween Ends, four years after the events of Halloween 2018 and Halloween Kills, she’s finally done what she couldn’t do in the 40 years between the original film and the 2018 installment; she heals. She’ll never fully escape the horrific events of her past, but she’s determined to live the life she deserves and ensure the same for her granddaughter.
Unfortunately, Michael and other forms of evil have other plans. Ultimately, Laurie contributes to Corey’s (Rohan Campbell) demise and takes part in a town procession to confirm that Michael Myers is finally dead, dead, dead, but there’s one particular idea the film puts forth that Laurie flat-out writes in her book that leaves the door open for evil to return; “I’ve said goodbye to my boogeyman, but the truth is, evil doesn’t die. It changes shape.” However, rather than end the trilogy by keeping the focus on the potential for more evil, Halloween Ends leaves us with hope for Laurie, sitting on her porch with Frank (Will Patton) talking about those cherry blossoms on November 1st.
While chatting with Curtis about her experience working on the franchise and on Halloween Ends in particular, she revealed a significant contribution she personally made to the end of the film. Find out what it is in this interview!
