Halloween: A New Chapter (2025) continues the legacy of Michael Myers with a fresh, terrifying twist. This time, the film moves forward with a new generation but retains the chilling essence of the original franchise.
The trailer opens with a flashback to the fiery finale of Halloween Ends (2022), where Michael Myers was seemingly killed. The scene shifts to Haddonfield, where life has returned to normal after years of terror. However, the peace is shattered when a mysterious figure begins stalking the town again on Halloween night.
We are introduced to a new protagonist, Emily Strode (played by a yet-to-be-revealed actress), a distant relative of Laurie Strode. Emily has recently moved to Haddonfield, unaware of the dark history tied to her family name. As the eerie holiday approaches, Emily begins experiencing strange nightmares and visions of a masked figure. She stumbles upon old records and news clippings of Michael Myers, realizing that her family’s legacy is intertwined with the town’s bloody past.
The trailer shows quick flashes of the new killer emerging, donning a mask eerily similar to Michael Myers’. This new killer is more brutal and unpredictable, and the film suggests that Michael’s evil has been passed on to another, setting up a new chapter in the Halloween saga. The town is once again thrown into chaos as a new wave of murders sweeps through Haddonfield, each more brutal than the last.
Meanwhile, Emily is drawn deeper into the mystery as she uncovers old tapes of Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) warning about the curse of Michael Myers. The trailer teases intense, terrifying confrontations, with Emily fighting to survive and protect those around her. In a dramatic sequence, Emily discovers that Michael’s evil has a new vessel—someone she never expected.
The final moments of the trailer show Emily in a terrifying chase with the masked figure, only to end with the cryptic line: “Evil never dies—it just finds a new face.”
