Yesterday saw the reveal of Michael Myers‘ new mask in the upcoming Halloween movie. Reactions to it were mostly positive, and now buzz for the film seems to be very high – at least until the trailer comes out, that is. If you haven’t seen the mask, here it is – so you can be all caught up:

So you’re probably asking – what’s so interesting about it? Well, as one fan recently pointed out, Michael Myers appears to have only one eye!

If that’s the case, the crew behind this movie was really, really going for continuity with this one. As far as a trailer, apparently there’s one out, as Jamie Lee Curtis recently said she’s seen it – and it’s terrifying:
“I’ve seen a trailer and I’ve seen some footage, and it’s terrifying. They went full-tilt boogeyman. And I’ve never said that in my life, and I will say full-tilt boogeyman for the rest of the year as I go around talking about this.”
So far, the only plot details for the film are from this very bare bones synopsis, which reads:
Laurie Strode prepares for a final showdown with masked killer Michael Myers.
Well, here’s hoping it’ll be the showdown we’ve all been waiting for. After all, since the first two films, all we’ve really had are a bunch of terrible sequels and terrible remake followed by its terrible sequel. Fans deserve better, and hopefully we’re getting it.
Halloween hits theaters on October 19th.
