Though the Halloween Kills ending used in the theatrical cut effectively implies that Laurie has another battle to deal with, it would have been exciting to get somewhat of a confrontation between Curtis' character and Michael Myers. Despite being the two most important characters in the franchise, the pair don't have any encounters in Halloween Kills.
Instead, the Halloween sequel wastes Laurie by keeping her inside the Haddonfield Hospital for much of the movie. By pinning the two figures together, even through a phone call, the extended scene could have reset the plot back to the real focus: Laurie Strode vs. Michael Myers. Green confirmed a Halloween Kills alternate ending was shot, and it's presumably the one featuring the phone call from Laurie.
The filmmaker claimed the scene was trimmed because he wasn't sure where Halloween Ends would begin. In the end, Green felt like the direction of the alternate scene could have thrown off the direction of the forthcoming sequel. Halloween Ends is time-jumping to the present-day, so it makes sense why the writers would want to trim the scene.
For much of the film, it looks like Michael is tracking down Laurie and that she is his ultimate goal—as was the setup for the original Halloween II in and many of its sequels. But by the end of the film, this appears not to be the case. Instead Michael wants to return to the family home, the house where he murdered his sister and where he used to stare out of the window looking over the town. By the end of the movie, he has achieved that.
The final shots are of him staring from his old vantage point, and Laurie doing the same from her hospital bed. Good question! This particular point is going to cause much debate, we suspect.
I think Michael Myers, in our true Earth, has brought nightmares to millions of people. Given how good Judy Greer is, we'd be happy for Halloween Ends to somehow allow her to miraculously survive. However, we feel it's all the main setup for the ultimate showdown between Laurie and Michael in the final movie of this trilogy. Unlike this movie which all takes place on the same night as the previous movie, the third movie will jump forward to a "contemporary timeline".
That means it'll take place in , a significant time jump of four years. But where would Michael have been all this time? And why would Laurie wait so long for revenge? Perhaps she needed time to get something to kill him once and for all. Quite how she'll manage to do this after setting up Michael as something more than human in this movie remains to be seen.
Perhaps like Halloween suggested, Michael gets his strength from Laurie so a Heroic Sacrifice could be in order.

Speaking with Den of Geek, Green was dug even deeper into the temes of his ending and why Myers is both a man, but ultimately still extremely powerful:.
But I believe the interpretation of what Michael Myers has become is cosmic. I think Michael Myers, in our true Earth, has brought nightmares to millions of people. The boogeyman just as much as the shark in Jaws has kept millions of people away from the ocean. So you have that beautiful study of what is fear? How the boogeyman has supercharged the anxiety and emotions of his own community is sort of what this movie studies.
Speaking with Collider, Green revealed that there is an extended version of the Halloween Kills ending , so it's possible we may yet get to see another cut that offers even more clarity. Laurie and Karen mistakenly begin the film believing that Michael's path to Laurie's house was intentional, but Allyson and Hawkins know the truth: it wasn't Michael's fixation on Laurie that led him to the Strode household, it was Dr.
And in Halloween Kills , we discover that Michael's actual intended destination was his childhood home, where he killed his sister - a familiar theme for the character considering the original film's tagline was "the night he came home.
Speaking with Den of Geek, Green confirmed that Myers is a character with "no motive," explaining:. Thinking she saw a child in a clown costume in the shadows of the upstairs window, Karen leaves Allyson in the hands of EMS workers while she explores the Myers house. He stabs her over and over, until she drops to the floor, presumably dead. That's not completely confirmed since the Halloween franchise has a long history of bringing characters back for the sequel - as a recent example, Hawkins presumably died in the film, only to wind up playing a key role in Halloween Kills.
However, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter , Greer and Matichak certainly spoke about the scene like it was a wrap for Greer, and thus, Karen.
