The upcoming movie, the final in David Gordan Green’s Halloween trilogy, will follow Laurie Shaw (Jamie Lee Curtis) as she tries to put an end to Michael Myers, who has now been terrorising her for 45 years.

Carpenter’s soundtrack is an essential element of what makes the Halloween franchise so iconic and Halloween Ends is set to build on the atmospheric electronic sound that has gone before. “The main themes have all been passed down from the original Halloween,” explains Carpenter. “We have refined them and created new themes for new characters”.
