New Book Dives into 40 Years of Halloween Movie History

With two new Halloween sequels filming back to back, this is as good a time as any to reflect on the past 40 years of the legendary horror franchise. That’s exactly what authors Dustin McNeill and Travis Mullins have set out to do in their new book, Taking Shape: Developing Halloween from Script to Scream, which just launched today on Amazon and elsewhere. See below for official details.

As mentioned above, Taking Shape: Developing Halloween from Script to Scream has an abundance of content for Halloween lovers, ranging from story analysis and interviews to scenes that didn’t make the cut and a look at some early scripts. There is plenty here to keep a horror fan busy, so be sure to head on over to Amazon and check it out!

The legend of The Shape continues with Halloween Kills hitting theaters on October 16th, 2020 and Halloween Ends arriving on October 15th, 2021. Be sure to follow Dead Entertainment for all the latest news and updates and these films as well as all things Halloween.
