David Gordon Green on why Corey is such a big part of HalloweenEnds: 'I wanted to get a new perspective of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode and the family, and I wanted to bring a new central character to be a pivotal exploration of those characters.'
Halloween Ends director David Gordon Green explains the movie’s one big change from the other H40 trilogy films. Green brought Michael Myers and Halloween back from the dead with his 2018 franchise reboot. Then in 2021, the writer-director unleashed the bloody second episode of a new trilogy with Halloween Kills.
And now Green has – presumably – wrapped up the so-called H40 trilogy with the just-released Halloween Ends. As expected, the movie sets up a final showdown between the unrelenting Myers and his long-time nemesis Laurie Strode . Unexpectedly, the film also focuses heavily on a new character, Rohan Campbell’s Corey Cunningham.
I wanted to get a new perspective of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode and the family, and I wanted to bring a new central character to be a pivotal exploration of those characters and the town. We'd seen the story of a stalker, and we'd seen a lot of the ways that trauma had affected Laurie Strode, but I really wanted to see how that affected the town.
What Halloween Ends' Change Means For The Franchise's Future Green clearly had specific themes in mind that he wanted to explore in Halloween Ends, and believed the character of Corey allowed him to delve into them more effectively. But Corey’s arrival also means something else when it comes to the long-term future of the Halloween franchise: the chance to hand off the mantle of The Shape to a new character.
It’s significant of course that Myers’ evil has a chance to outlive his physical form, as Halloween Ends climaxes with Strode and her granddaughter Allyson vanquishing the killer, and Myers’ body being chopped to mulch by a car-crushing machine. Important too though is the fact that the new vessel of Myers’ evil, Corey, also appears to die at Myers’ own hands.
