New 'Halloween' trailer previews terrifying fight to the finish
Watch Next

Bloody teeth, kitchen knives, and Jamie Lee Curtis with a shotgun? Yup, sign me up.

Set 40 years after the events of the 1978 classic, this year's Halloween looks scarier than ever. Serial killer Michael Meyers has escaped from prison to hunt down the one that got away: Laurie Strode. But, as it turns out, this former "final girl" is more than ready for a fight to the death.

Nick Castle and Jamie Lee Curtis will reprise their respective roles. The plot will similarly stick to its roots, ignoring all other sequels and their subsequent consequences.

Halloween screams into theaters October 19.
