WATCH: Jamie Lee Curtis is a grandma out to kill in the first trailer for Halloween

Cape Town – One of film’s most iconic and terrifying characters Michael Meyers is back and so is the horror scream queen – played so well by Jamie-Lee Curtis -  Laurie Strode. 

Directed by David Gordon Green a new film version of Halloween skips Rob Zombie’s most recent remakes and is a direct sequel to John Carpenter’s 1978 horror classic.

The movie is set four decades after Carpenter’s original and looks incredibly frightening. 

Jake Gyllenhaal fans will remember Green’s last film Stronger which was about the Boston bombing.
