Raphael Esparza, gambling analyst heard on ESPN Radio, Fox, CBS, Sirius and others, handicapper at Doc’s Sports Picks: In addition to sports, I do a lot of entertainment and political and wrestling odds. I’ve even done the Halloween franchise before. Like, In Halloween Kills, I did over/under on firefighters killed in the opening scene.
As for whether or not Halloween Ends is really the end, I’ve seen it and read the script and it’s definitely the final Halloween movie for Laurie’s character. I don’t see them bringing her back. At the end of the movie, they show Michael Myers’ mask on the coffee table so that tells you that maybe someone else could pick it up and go from there. I think the original Michael Myers character though, I’d say “no” to any more movies with him, but the mask, I’d say “yes” just because of how much money this Halloween trilogy has made.
The Halloween franchise will live on, I’d say “yes” minus 5,000, which means, if you wanted to win one dollar, you’d have to put up $5,000 dollars. On the “no” I’d say plus $2,000, so if you put down a dollar, you’d get $2,000. On whether or not Michael Myers would return, I think “no,” but anything can happen in that world, so I’d say it’s just minus 1,000, which means, to win a dollar on him not coming back, you’d have to put up $1,000. Now, for Jamie Lee Curtis coming back, I’d say minus a million. I do not see her coming back at all. I think Laurie and Michael Myers are officially dead in the Halloween franchise.
