"Same porch. Same clothes. Same issues. 40 years later. Headed back to Haddonfield one last time for Halloween," Jamie Lee Curtis tweeted (9/15/17).
"David and Danny both came to my office recently with Jason Blum and shared their vision for the new movie and … WOW. They get it. I think you’re gonna dig it. They blew me away,” Carpenter wrote. "I might even do the music. Maybe. It could be kind of cool. And you’ll get to see it in theaters on October 19th, 2018 (2/9/17)."
