A 3-year gap between it and its predecessor, and also in both cases, set as a continuation of the same night
shareIt was supposed to originally release in 2020, but a certain virus delayed it a year. Halloween Ends was supposed to release in 2021 as well. That got delayed a year also. Plus I think the original plan was to set 2018, Kills, and Ends all on the same night, but they changed that. The whole time jump between Kills and Ends is why I prefer the theatrical cut. The ending of the extended cut or whatever you want to consider it sets up that Ends picks up where Kills left off. So the time jump makes the extended cut's ending obsolete.
shareYeah its like the pandemic 'kill'ed the momentum of the new trilogy, maybe gave them too much time to think /reflect on what the finale should be (and obviously affected the box office for both films), whatever earlier 'same night' version they had in mind for Ends (that wouldve tied in with Kills alt ending) HAD to be preferable to what they did!
