The Shape of Evil: Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney

- Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy Doyle, a character from the original 1978 film who has grown up and become a podcaster. - Robert Longstreet as Frank Hawkins, a Haddonfield cop who was present during the original Halloween night massacre. - Dylan Arnold as Cameron Elam, a high school friend of Allyson's who gets entangled in Michael's rampage.
The Original Gang: The Return of the OG Characters
In addition to the new faces, Halloween Kills will be bringing back some original cast members for a reunion that's sure to get fans hyped. Kyle Richards and Nancy Stephens will be reprising their roles as Lynette "Lyn" Carrington and Nurse Marion Chambers, respectively, while Charles Cyphers will be back as Sheriff Leigh Brackett. And if that wasn't enough, Brian Andrews will be returning as Grabber #1, the man who first confronted Michael Myers in the original film.
The Man Behind the Camera: David Gordon Green
While not a cast member in the traditional sense, we'd be remiss not to mention David Gordon Green, the director behind both the 2018 Halloween film and its upcoming sequel, Halloween Kills. Green has been at the helm of the franchise's recent resurgence, crafting a new story that both honors the original film and forges its own path. With Green at the helm, fans can expect another thrilling and terrifying addition to the Halloween saga.
