Halloween: the Official Movie Novelization
Halloween: the Official Movie Novelization | John Passarella
19 posts | 8 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
The official novelization of the highly anticipated revamp of the classic horror film Halloween. In 1978, Laurie Strode survived an encounter with Michael Myers, a masked figure who killed her friends and terrorized the town of Haddonfield, Illinois on Halloween night. Myers was later gunned down, apprehended and committed to Smith's Grove State Hospital. For forty years, memories of that nightmarish ordeal have haunted Laurie and now Myers is back once again on Halloween, having escaped a routine transfer, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. This time, Laurie is prepared with years of survival training to protect herself, her daughter Karen and her granddaughter Allyson, a teenager separated from her family and enjoying Halloween festivities.

Did you see they‘re taking the Halloween movies off british Netflix on September 30??? So disappointed to lose a mainstay of my Halloween and #scarathlon viewing. I‘m watching them now but doing it in September is just not the same!!

Hooked_on_books Well that‘s odd. I wonder why they‘d take them away before Halloween as opposed to after. 2y

#LittensDressedInBlood Today's prompt is Halloween!

Listening to the movie novelization right now, which seems appropriate, while I work on the bookstore website (updating book club stuff). Doing book club in half an hour for Whisper Down the Lane, and then the Hubs and I will watch horror shows and then pass out candy!

What do you do after you see Halloween Kills? You go to the B&N across the parking lot of course.

Reggie Did you like the movie? I think he was trying to say something about mob mentality which just made me root for Michael to kill some of those people. 3y
MaleficentBookDragon @Reggie I was very disappointed. It didn‘t really have a plot. It seemed like a transition to the final movie. I saw no point in bringing the original movie characters back only to kill them. It underwhelmed me until the end. I loved Karen after about halfway through, so the end was a gut punch. I was hoping she was the new bad ass Laurie. (edited) 3y

TheLudicReader Do you know the story about this movie's musical score? 4y
FantasyChick @TheLudicReader I don't believe I do.... 4y
TheLudicReader @FantasyChick Carpenter edited the movie, no music, let his elderly aunt watch it alone in the theatre, no big deal. He wrote the score, added the music, invited her to watch again and she couldn‘t sit through it....too scary. 😀 4y
FantasyChick @TheLudicReader Haha That's great! The music really does make a huge difference in a film, especially a horror film 4y

I hope that John Passarella writes the final two novelizations for this series because he did a great job with the material in my opinion. Michael Myers is my favorite Boogie man because he doesn‘t speak and there is no inner monologue. He‘s truly just The Shape. #theofficialhalloweennovelization #johnpassarella #catsoflitsy

Page 227. Little Julian is the smartest little boy. He knew that it was time to run. Dave was too chicken to go upstairs and check that room by himself. He wouldn‘t even do it with Vicky. And this is exactly what what happened next happened. #halloweennovelization #Johnpassarella

Page 138. Dana and Aaron messed up big time and Michael showed them exactly how much they did. #johnpassarella #halloweennovelization

Is it weird that I like the Novelization more than the movie? 🤔🤔🤔 #johnpassarella #halloween

Mind you I‘ve watched this movie three times , but this part still shocks me. Why in the world did he show Michael that mask? #halloween #johnpassarella

I'm not sure if I will be able to resist this. The original movie is one of my favorites. I watch it every Halloween.

Kappadeemom It‘s my favorite too! I was in middle school when it came out and it was THE scary movie! 6y
CoffeeNBooks We were at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios on Friday night, and we went through the Halloween 4 themed haunted house. It was crazy! Michael Myers jumped out at you from almost every room, hallway, open door, and window you walked by. 😱 6y
robinb THE classic horror film. I‘m not sure I‘ve ever made it all the way through it...I‘m such a scaredy cat. 😱😱😱 6y
