Michael Myers might be back, but Laurie Strode is out for revenge in the first trailer for Halloween.

In the new Halloween trailer, Michael Myers is back and ready to finish what he started, but he might not have anticipated what–or who–is waiting for him. It’s been about four decades since Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) narrowly escaped the clutches of Michael Myers. Since that time, she’s been preparing for the inevitable day that she and Michael meet once again for a final showdown.

And if the trailer is any indication, while Michael Myers might be a formidable foe, Laurie isn’t about to cower and let him terrorize her or her town any more. Kick some ass, Laurie!

There have been several movies in the Halloween franchise, all met with various levels of interest from fans of the series and Michael Myers. So you might be scratching your head over all of the talk of Laurie waiting 40 years for Michael to escape from prison. The reason for this is, the 2018 Halloween ignores every other film in the franchise, and is written as a sequel to the original 1978 film.

Of course, to undo years of movie lore, the team behind Halloween made sure they brought something special to one of the world’s most infamous slashers. Not only will Michael Myers be portrayed mostly by a stuntman this time (meaning his time on screen will be a lot more physical than ominously standing in doorways and windows with big knives), but they’ve brought key members of the original team back for this film.

In addition to Jamie Lee Curtis’ return, this movie marks the first time that John Carpenter, the director of the original Halloween movie, has been involved with the franchise since it first hit theaters. While a lot of us might have reboot and sequel fatigue these days, bringing back two integral members of the original Halloween team give this film a little something extra. There’s a special energy in this movie, and you can definitely feel it in the electric trailer.

Halloween will premiere in theaters on October 19, so be sure you’re ready to come face-to-face with Michael Myers once again!
