About Halloween Ends

After 45 years, the most acclaimed, revered horror franchise in film history reaches its epic, terrifying conclusion as Laurie Strode faces off for the last time against the embodiment of evil, Michael Myers, in a final confrontation unlike any captured on-screen before.

Only one of them will survive.

Icon Jamie Lee Curtis returns for the last time as Laurie Strode, horror’s first “final girl” and the role that launched Curtis’ career.

Curtis has portrayed Laurie for more than four decades now, one of the longest actor-character pairings in cinema history.

When the franchise relaunched in 2018, Halloween shattered box office records, becoming the franchise’s highest-grossing chapter and set a new record for the biggest opening weekend for a horror film starring a woman.

Four years after the events of last year’s Halloween Kills, Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) and is finishing writing her memoir.

Michael Myers hasn’t been seen since. Laurie, after allowing the specter of Michael to determine and drive her reality for decades, has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life.

But when a young man, Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell; The Hardy Boys, Virgin River), is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all.

Photosensitivity Warning

There are flashing lights and elements that could be triggering for those with photosensitive issues.

Age Rating of Halloween Ends: Is It Safe For Teens When It Comes To Sex, Romance, and Nudity?

There is an implied sex scene, but no nudity is shown. A couple is seen going upstairs together and then in bed together in the morning.

There is a workplace romance (if you want to call it that) as well.

In general, there’s nothing concerning when it comes to sex or nudity in Halloween Ends.

Violence and Gore: Is Halloween Ends Too Scary For Kids Under 17?

Heck yeah, it’s scary.

It’s Michael Myers (again) afterall.

The gore isn’t as strong as some of the other movies (we think Halloween Kills was much more gratuitous).

The deaths in Halloween Ends have a bit more motivation behind them, not just random kill-everyone kind of thing.

But there’s blood, there are creative deaths, and there’s slashing going on.

Is Halloween Ends Ok For Kids: Mature Topics

A big focus of the movie is relationships.

Suicide is discussed and a plan is in place.

There is alcohol in this movie, along with a tragic death of a young child.

Halloween Ends Age Rating: What Ages Can Really Watch This One?

Halloween Ends is Rated R for language, sexual situations and violence and gore.

But can your teens see this one?

Parents Guide: Is Halloween Ends Appropriate For Kids Under 17?

As always, you know your kids best.

If they have seen the other Michael Myer Halloween movies, then this one will feel a bit tame in comparison on the blood and gore scale. The sexual situations are very mild as well.

There’s more of a storyline here and we felt it ended the franchise in a strong way.

If you are good with them watching slashers (we know you know the gist of this franchise!) then you could likely give the okay to kids in high school. We think kids 14 and up who have previous slasher and horror film exposure could handle Halloween Ends.

If you have younger kids, check out this list of horror movies for 13-year-olds and tweens.
