Curtis will take part in an intimate conversation about her history with the ”Halloween“ franchise

New York Comic Con has announced its 2022 panel lineup, which includes a number of notable events taking place throughout the three-day convention.

Toplining the panels is a tribute to 45 years of “Halloween” and Laurie Strode with Jamie Lee Curtis, moderated by “Scream” star Drew Barrymore. The panel – which takes place Saturday, Oct. 8 – will find Curtis discussing her journey with the “Halloween” franchise up through the latest (and final?) installment “Halloween Ends.”

NYCC will also host the first-ever screening of “Violent Night,” a new film from director Tommy Wirkola (“Dead Snow”) that stars David Harbour as Santa Claus who takes on a crew of bad guys who aim to hold a family compound hostage. The movie hails from 87North, the producers behind “Atomic Blonde” and “Deadpool 2,” so hold on to your butts. The screening will take place the night of Friday, Oct. 7.

Dan Harmon will also be in attendance on the main stage to talk about his upcoming Fox animated series “Krapopolis,” while the lineup of guests taking part in autograph signings and photographs includes Sebastian Stan, Tyler Hoechlin (“Teen Wolf”), Ice T. & Coco, “Smallville”stars Kristen Kruek and John Glover, “The Mandalorian’s” Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder, AEW wrestlers “The Icon” Sting, Britt Baker and Jack Perry “Jungle Boy”, and WWE wrestler Mick Foley. Popular anime podcasters, Trash Taste, will also be appearing for limited meet and greets and a panel on Thursday.

New York Comic Con 2022, presented by ReedPop, will take place Oct. 6-9 at the Javits Center. You can find the full NYCC panels and screenings schedule here, and check out some highlights below.
