Halloween Ends Parents Guide – Is it OK for Teens?

Wondering if Halloween Ends is ok for kids and teens? Does Halloween really end? The conclusion to this trilogy will give some fans what they want and others will be left wanting more. Some of the violence and gore may too much for some teens. Here’s what parents need to know in this Halloween Ends Parents Guide.

Halloween Ends Age Rating

Halloween Ends Parents Guide

This is Laurie Strode’s last stand. After 45 years, the most acclaimed, revered horror franchise in film history reaches its epic, terrifying conclusion as Laurie Strode faces off for the last time against the embodiment of evil, Michael Myers, in a final confrontation unlike any captured on-screen before.

Laurie Strode is living with her granddaughter and trying to finish her memoir. Myers hasn’t been seen since, and Laurie finally decides to liberate herself from rage and fear and embrace life. However, when a young man stands accused of murdering a boy that he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that forces Laurie to confront the evil she can’t control.

It’s either Laurie or Michael Myers. Only one of them will survive.

Why is Halloween Ends Rated R?

What is the age rating for Halloween Ends? Halloween Ends is rated R for gore, bloody horror violence, language, and some sexual references.

Language

There is a lot of profanity in Halloween Ends including many uses of f*ck, a**, sh*t, bit*h, damn, and hell. There are also words of Deity used including g-ddamn as well as sexual words like pu**y and tits.

Scary Content

There is a lot of blood and gore in Halloween Ends, as one would expect. It’s a slasher movie, and there are plenty of kills. This is a scary movie and will be too much for most younger kids. The violence is heavy with stabbings, characters getting shot, strangled, burnt, run over, and more.

Mature Content

A couple is shown in bed and sex is implied.

Characters drink alcohol.

Suicide is discussed.

Characters are bullied.

Is Halloween Ends Appropriate for Kids Under 17?

In Halloween Ends, you can expect to see some blood and gore, intense violent scenes, alcohol use, talk of suicide, and profanity used by some of the characters. To sum it up, Halloween Ends is not kid-friendly for young kids, but could be for older teens. 

Halloween Ends will be divisive among fans as there really isn’t a whole lot of Michael Myers. Perhaps less gratuitous violence than Halloween Kills, there are still a few pretty gruesome kills. Teens who have seen the other Halloween movies will be fine watching this one, but may be bored.

I recommend parents screening a film first if they have any questions about whether Halloween Kills is appropriate for their teen.

You get more story in Halloween Ends, but I’m not so sure that’s what people want from this franchise.
