The first trailer for Blumhouse's Halloween revival (it's technically not a reboot, bit a direct sequel to John Carpenter's original) is set to scare-up the internet this weekend, but in anticipation, USA Today has debuted the first official stills from the upcoming horror flick.

They give us another look at the returning Michael Myers sporting his "aged-up" mask, as well as Jamie Lee Curtis as the woman who'll be more than ready to stand in the way of her psychotic brother's new reign of terror, Laurie Strode.

Check 'em out below and let us know what you think, and be sure to return for that teaser on Friday.

Jamie Lee Curtis And Director David Gordon Green

We start with a BTS snap of Jamie Lee Curtis and director David Gordon Green conversing on set.

Green was adamant that he needed to essentially dump all of the Halloween sequels in order to put a fresh stamp on the franchise.

"I started finding limitations instead of opportunity, and thinking, ‘If there was a little bit of a clean slate to take it in a direction I selfishly as a huge Halloween fan wanted, where would I go?’ ”

The Shape

Original Michael Myers Nick Castle will once again play the iconic murderer, but this time he'll be sporting a more weather-beaten mask that reflects the character's "authentic evolution" over 4 decades.

“He’s the essence of evil," says Green, keenly aware of what drew fans to the enigmatic villain in the first place. "So we don’t want to get too much into the specifics of what makes him tick. So much of what makes the boogeyman horrifying to me is the mystery and almost cat-like mannerisms and curiosity of this character.”

Laurie Vs. Michael

Laurie Strode will once again find herself being stalked by her deadly sibling, but this time she knows he's coming and is far better prepared than he realises.

“In the first film she was running for her life,” says Curtis. “In this case, she is well-matched, she is prepared, she is focused. She will be the one people are standing behind when that moment comes, because she’s the one ready.”

The Night He Came Home

The report also gives us a much better idea of what to expect from the plot of this new Halloween movie, and reveals how Michael actually makes his escape in the first place.

"A British documentary crew comes to the States to visit Michael in prison for a retrospective of the maniac’s night of terror — but their project becomes way more interesting when Myers escapes custody, retrieves his signature mask and seeks revenge on Laurie, with others naturally being part of his impressive career body count along the way."

Trailer later this week?

@California - yea Friday

L0RDbuckethead - 6/5/2018, 5:11 PM

I'm liking what I see so far

AnthonyVonGeek - 6/5/2018, 5:12 PM

That mask was put together really well for the hair to stay on it through all the stuff he did for all those years.

Obi2 - 6/5/2018, 5:12 PM

Can't wait for this movie, I wish Michael looked a bit smaller like he did in the original but otherwise looks amazing

MUTO123 - 6/5/2018, 5:13 PM

@Obi2 - I mean, it's the original actor, and he's presumably gotten bigger over the 40 years that have passed since the original, so...

JohnMarston220 - 6/5/2018, 5:32 PM

@MUTO123 - Nick Castle is actually not playing Michael this time around- well he's featured in SOME scenes (a la cameo). Another actor is taking the role of Myers this time around.

Termin8er - 6/6/2018, 10:03 AM

@JohnMarston220 - And he's 6'3" and over 200 pounds. I'm ok with it because it'll make him look like a huskier older man, and he's supposed to be more physical this time around. As long as he's not a ripoff of Jason, ie 6'5" or taller and with that country boy build, I'm ok with it.

MUTO123 - 6/5/2018, 5:12 PM

I'm digging it so far.

E4Nigma - 6/5/2018, 5:12 PM

Michael Myers looks like Christopher Walken with that face and hairline.

BillyBatson1000 - 6/5/2018, 5:13 PM

THAT was the original take they had?

Kevwebsz - 6/5/2018, 5:13 PM

Needs more Busta Rhymes

MUTO123 - 6/5/2018, 5:15 PM

JosephCronos92 - 6/5/2018, 5:17 PM

@Kevwebsz - LMFAO he looks like he actually got hurt and its almost crying out of pain.

JosephCronos92 - 6/5/2018, 5:23 PM

@MUTO123 - I think i laughed way too much (and HARD) with this.

Does William Shatner receive royalties from these films?? Just curious.

Obi2 - 6/5/2018, 5:14 PM

Is it me or is this mask not the same one from the original it resembles the Zombie mask more

Nebula - 6/5/2018, 5:28 PM

@Obi2 - Uhh.. nah.
