Benji's Books's Reviews > Halloween

Wow, that was incredible. It's no wonder that this not only rivals every other novelization in existence, but the original 1978 John Carpenter film itself as number one. There's so much to love here.

There's really a whole lot added here to make it a whole other experience: the prologue, Michael's time in Smith's Grove Sanitarium with Dr. Loomis, and...well, I could go on, but I urge you to read it yourself...if you can somehow get your hands on this rare, out-of-print gem.

This is a worthy novelization and just might be my favorite so far. It even adds a great supernatural element to the story that really adds to the Halloween aspect of the story. It works too.

If you like audiobooks, I know there's some dude named the 80's Slasher Librarian on YouTube who does audiobooks for the rare, OOP horror novelization and tie-ins. I think he rightly deserves a call-out after all the hard work he puts in uploading all those books. I've listened to a couple of his audios and he often adds music or sound effects to them.

Would ABSOLUTELY recommend!
