Although Halloween Kills has been delayed to October 2021 as a result of the ongoing global health crisis, the MPA has given the film its age rating and it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise.
Halloween Kills has officially earned an R rating for “strong bloody violence throughout, grisly images, language, and some drug use.”
While plot details are still being kept under wraps besides star Jamie Lee Curtis describing the film as a “mob movie,” this age rating seemingly coincides with comments made by several members of the creative team including John Carpenter, who returns to compose the music for Halloween Kills, who previously called the sequel “the quintessential slasher film” while also teasing that it will be “a slasher movie times one hundred.” Co-writer Scott Teems has also said the script is “the bigger, badder, meaner version of the first one,” while Michael Myers actor James Jude Courtney described Halloween Kills as “Halloween on speed.”
