Halloween is now returning to shoot additional scenes after wrapping principal photography earlier this year. Bloody Disgusting confirmed through sources that David Gordon Green wanted to reshoot some scenes, including the finale. This seems to be spurred by a mixed reaction to the finale during a recent test screening. Details on this test screening are sparse and vary by source, but the recent trailer at CinemaCon was met with great response.

Some people may panic at this news with the film still set for an October 19th release. Don’t fret- this has become common practice in recent years, and is definitely not unheard of for Blumhouse Productions. Realistically you’re only looking at reshoots on a few key scenes and maybe some extra features added fr one reason or another.

Fans are excitedly awaiting the October release of Halloween. With the return of both Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick Castle, this is a huge step for the franchise. Fans will also be happy to know John Carpenter is providing the score for the film. So it is understandable that some may worry about reshoots on a quickly approaching deadline.
