In the same vein of its predecessor, Halloween Kills is set to have many returning characters appear.

Charles Cyphers has reprised the role of Sheriff Leigh Brackett  one of many fan favourites of the original 1978 Halloween.

Some of the other confirmed stars from the first movie set to return are Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace, Nancy Stephens as Nurse Marion Chambers and Nick Castle once again sharing the role of Michael Myers with James Jude Courtney.

Of course Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer and Andi Matichak are also all set to return for the sequel as the surviving members of the Strode family.

Meanwhile, the Tommy Doyle character played by Brian Andrews in the original movie is also returning for Halloween Kills, but the role has been recast with Anthony Michael Hall and this instalment will also see Robert Longstreet as Lonnie Elam.

Universal is also moving a group of Blumhouse titles deeper into the theatrical release calendar including the upcoming Purge 5 and also MGM/Monkeypaw’s Candyman.
