Halloween Kills producer Jason Blum confirmed that although it will carry into Halloween Ends, the next film isn’t half of a story.

With producer Jason Blum already promising that Halloween Kills will be a lot bigger than audiences are expecting, he’s now addressed that the film doesn’t feel like half of a story ahead of Halloween Ends in 2021. While Halloween Kills doesn’t arrive in theaters until October this year, Jason Blum is clearly confident that the next instalment will be a worthy part of the Halloween story before the final film in the new trilogy.

When speaking to io9 about Halloween Kills, producer Jason Blum explained that he and director David Gordon Green were both worried that the sequel wouldn’t feel like a whole story. He compared his worries to the Fellowship of the Ring, when fans thought they were getting the entire trilogy of books told in one film. Jason Blum went on to say that Halloween Kills has a satisfying ending ahead of Halloween Ends. Take a look what the producer had to say about the next film in the Halloween franchise below.

“I worried about it until I saw it. And David worried about it. That it would feel like, remember Lord of the Rings? Like you weren’t getting (the full story)? It doesn’t feel like that at all. (Halloween Kills) feels like a complete movie. There’s a first, second, and third act. It has a big end. You still know from the end of the second movie where the third movie is going, but the second movie ends in a totally satisfying way. So it doesn’t feel like, you know, that Lord of the Rings issue that they had.”
