A new special celebrating HalloweenEnds, the Halloween franchise, and HalloweenHorrorNights airs on NBC this weekend.
The upcoming Halloween Ends will truly mark the end of an era, as the final film in the David Gordon Green-directed trilogy of Halloween films will be the sendoff to Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, with the occasion being honored this Saturday in the NBC special Halloween in Hollywood. The hour-long special will look back at the legacy of the franchise and its impact on pop culture, while also exploring the annual Halloween Horror Nights event at Universal Studios.
"Hosted by Chris Hardwick from Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights, this immersive fan-focused event will be a celebration of horror fandom and of NBCUniversal's role in defining and redefining the genre over the past century and its vision for the future of horror. The special will include a message from Halloween Ends star Jamie Lee Curtis; Producer Jason Blum, CEO and Founder, Blumhouse; and director David Gordon Green.
"The special will also include appearances from John Carpenter, executive producer, director, and composer of the original 1978 Halloween and fellow Halloween Ends composers Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter. It will also feature Prof. Tananarive Due, award-winning author and professor of Black horror & Afrofuturism at UCLA, and Robert Englund, who famously portrayed Freddy Krueger.
"Beginning October 1st, Peacock will become the ultimate destination for Halloween Horror. With dozens of curated collections and a long list of titles to explore, Peacock's Halloween destination features scary series and films to stream for every kind of fan this spooky season.
