This looks pretty cool.
If you're a little confused about this sequel
'HALLOWEEN (2018)' is a direct sequel to John Carpenter's classic 1978 movie of the same name. So 'Halloween' is a sequel to 'Halloween', got it.
The sequel wipes away all remakes and previous sequels (featuring Michael Myers); 'Halloween II', 'Halloween IV', 'Halloween V', 'Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers', and 'Halloween: Resurrection'.
It also wipes away 1998's 'Halloween H20' which wiped away all sequels after Part 2 and was about Michael Myers returning to terrorize Jamie Lee Curtis 20 year later. This new sequel wipes away all previous sequels and is about Michael Myers returning to terrorize Jamie Lee Curtis 40 years later ("Halloween H40"??)

I *think* Halloween 2 is still canon in H20 - at least, Michael is still Laurie’s sister in that continuity, I’m pretty sure.
Halloween 2 was still cannon in H20 - lots of references to that movie.
Also, the new Fangoria has a great article called "The Discarded Continuity of the Halloween Franchise".
Whoops, my mistake! Post updated. Thanks for the catch!
