Co-writer Danny McBride spoke a bit about the film's storyline in a recent interview, saying: "It takes place the same night, picking up where the last movie ended. Events in the film bring together a lot of characters who were in the 1978 film who we didn’t see last time. They gather to try, once and for all, to take down Michael, to stop this madman."

Co-writer Scott Teems had a recent interview, where he spoke briefly about the project after having seen a rough cut. Here's what he had to say: "I saw a rough cut of it a few weeks ago, and I'm a little biased, but my gut says that people that like the last one will be very excited about this one. It's like the first one on steroids, I guess. It really is the bigger, badder, meaner version of the first one." (4/20/20)
