Director David Gordon Green aimed to elevate the stakes and conclude the series with a powerful statement. This vision was also reflected in the film’s opening title sequence, which we created entirely in CG. The concept evolved to include jack-o’-lanterns carved in the likeness of those featured in past Halloween films, nested inside each other like Russian Matryoshka dolls. The splitting of each jack-o’-lantern to reveal the next symbolises the emergence of a new evil, similar to how each film in the franchise introduced a new form of evil, whether it be Michael Myers’ return or a new entity taking his place. The last “faceless” pumpkin represents the unknown evil of this film. It splits to reveal an unexpected combination of pumpkin innards and bloody human sinew.
