HalloweenEnds director David Gordon Green explains his reasons for not exploring Michael Myers' backstory in the final film of his reboot trilogy: 'I don’t want to know his motivation, what inspires him.'
Halloween Ends director David Gordon Green discusses the decision not to tell Michael Myers' backstory. The slasher film was released on October 14 and saw Jamie Lee Curtis return as Halloween heroine Laurie Strode. Halloween Ends is the final installment of the reboot trilogy that began in 2018 and the thirteenth film in the entire Halloween franchise.
Following the release of the first Halloween film, directed by John Carpenter, in 1978, the franchise saw a string of sequels before musician/director Rob Zombie rebooted it in 2007. In 2018, Green and screenwriter Danny McBride, with the involvement of John Carpenter and Blumhouse, launched a second Halloween reboot trilogy that brought back Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode.
You’re not going to go into a Michael Myers backstory because as far as I’m concerned, that’s forbidden territory. I don’t want to know his motivation, what inspires him. Halloween Ends Was Right To Not Show Michael Myers' Origin Many theories exist as to what Michael MMyers'sorigins could be. While Halloween Kills reveals a glimpse of the man behind the mask, and Halloween Ends shows the original Michael Myers return to kill his murderous copycat, the films are careful not to give too much away. This move proves to be an effective tactic, as fear is often rooted in the unknown.
While Green's trilogy has ended, Michael Myers is bound to live on in the hands of future filmmakers. As Laurie Strode writes at the end of the film, "evil doesn't doesn't die, it changes shape,", and so does the Halloween franchise. To reveal the secrets of Michael Myers would close the door on the entire series forever. Halloween Ends does the right thing by keeping Michael Myers a terrifying mystery.
