The original Halloween came out in 1978 and was the product of a low-budget and skeleton crew that somehow had enough grit and luck to create one of the most celebrated horror movies of all time – it went on to span over 13 films in total. (Not bad for a screenplay that reportedly only took two weeks to write.)

Halloween Ends marks the conclusion of not only a wildly successful trilogy in an iconic franchise, but also an era that saw Jamie Lee Curtis come out fighting as one of the most game-changing characters in horror history.

“The last shot was [filmed during] a night shoot and I was in a car – it was a close-up of me in the car. And when we got out of the car, it was 4.30 in the morning and there was the picture of my face on the screen,” Curtis told People. “And I realised that was the last image of Laurie Strode after 44 years of portraying her. Isn’t that amazing? And it felt very satisfying. I think people are going to lose their minds.”
