[edit] Halloween
-
Halloween is a 1979 novelization by Curtis Richards of the horror film Halloween (1978). The novel has been out-of-print since the late 1980s. The novel elaborates on aspects not featured in the film such as the origins of the curse of Samhain and Michael Myers's life in Smith's Grove Sanitarium. For example, the opening reads:
- The horror started on the eve of Samhain, in a foggy vale in northern Ireland, at the dawn of the Celtic race. And once started, it trod the earth forevermore, wreaking its savagery suddenly, swiftly, and with incredible ferocity.
[edit] Halloween II
Halloween II is a 1981 novelization by Jack Martin. Martin also went to write the novelization for Halloween III (see below). The novel follows the film almost exactly with minor exceptions; In the first chapter, there is a scene in Halloween where Keith, Lonnie, and Richie come to the Myers house. Also, the blonde reporter we see in the beginning is another of Michael's victims. One difference is that (before 4, 5, and 6 were released) an officer says that all the bodies were burned to crisp. The book is out-of-print.
[edit] Halloween III: Season of the Witch
Halloween III: Season of the Witch is a 1983 novelization by Jack Martin, who also wrote Halloween II (see above).
