Curtis praised writer/director David Gordon Green and co-writer Danny McBride on Instagram for crafting "an intense and brutal second wave of their masterpiece HALLOWEEN 2018."

"They were prescient in the 2018 film about the amount of trauma that was being recognized, primarily by the #metoo movement which collided with Laurie's 40 year trauma," wrote Curtis, "and now they were again ahead of the curve of the amount of rage that we have all seen and felt in 2020. WE ARE ALL MAD AS HELL AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!"

"Another brilliant chapter in the ultimate story of good vs evil, Laurie vs Michael," she added. "Happy Halloween. See you ALL in THEATERS in October!"

Halloween Kills will debut in theaters and on Peacock on Oct. 15.
