Halloween Ends marks the conclusion of a 45-year era, presided over by scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis and her never-ending battle against the evil incarnate that is Michael Myers. Her story as Laurie Strode began in the now-iconic 1978 horror film Halloween, which saw her narrowly escaping death at his hands several times while merely a high school student. Over the course of now 13 films, she has grown stronger and more hardened while her mortal enemy refuses to stay dead and buried—but it all ends (we hope) tonight.
To celebrate the last installment in the franchise, Meta’s Messenger, Instagram, Meta Horizon Worlds, and Creative Shop are joining forces with Universal Pictures to premiere a thrilling Messenger chat experience: custom Halloween Reels for fans to have fun with. Users can choose one of several spooky scenes to craft #KillerReels where they act chilling moments out, try on their most blood-curdling scream, and tell Jamie Lee Curtis what she and Halloween Ends mean to them.
Best of all, those with the most creative reels will have the opportunity to hang out virtually with the star of the show herself, and share spooky stories with her face-to-face. Read on to learn how to hang with Jamie Lee Curtis!

#KillerReels
To make some #KillerReels, visit the @HalloweenMovie Facebook page and send a message, or else visit @HalloweenMovie on Instagram and send a DM. Once the experience begins, you can act out one of the special scene options, and submit your spookiest #KillerReel. The lucky winner will then get a special online meeting with Jamie Lee Curtis in a custom-built Halloween Horizon World, which is a dream come true for many.
Messenger and Instagram are also offering other Halloween season-themed options for users more generally inclined to the Autumn vibes. Both platforms will have a Spooky Vibes Chat Theme, which can be accessed by opening a chat thread and heading to settings, or by typing “/” and tapping “/theme” from the command picker in Messenger iOS and Android. On Instagram, users can open a chat thread and select the information button, then choose "theme" to find the spooky vibes they deserve. Messenger is also offering camera stickers, which allow users to take a photo or video in the app and access "Spooky Vibes" stickers among the emoticons.
Halloween Ends premieres in theaters and through Peacock on October 14, with early screenings starting tonight.
