About this listen

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.

Good story not so good storytelling.

I love the Halloween films so thought I’d give this a go. I enjoyed the story but it would benefit from a different narrator. The lady even mixes up the characters at one point. I had to rewind it to see if I’d heard wrong but, no.

Just boring!

I had high expectations and it was just boring. I was on about chapter 12 and wondering when the story was going to start. I would not recommend!

Very enjoyable

I really enjoyed this it captures the essence of the character or Myers!

But I do agree with other reviewers that the repeated use of The Shape doesn’t work and takes away from the tension of the story!
But the reading was very entertaining otherwise!

Halloween brilliance

I absolutely love the films, the new film was brilliant and the audiobook is perfect for a bit of tension and a Michael Myers fix.

Liked the movie? Will like the book :)

There's not much to say here about the very story as it simply is a true-to-the-source novelization. 40 years after the events from the first 'Halloween' movie, Michael Myers a.k.a. The Shape goes on a killing spree once again.
The narrator, Emily Sutton-Smith, adds incredible value to the listening experience and for Myers's fans such as myself it was a thoroughly enjoyable listen. For Halloween newcomers and horror fans alike, I think there's also some fun to be had. Enjoy! :)

Exactly what you expect.

This is pretty much exactly what you would expect from a Halloween novelisation and I wasn't disappointed. The narrator had a monotone voice that plays well for the most suspecfull chapters but I felt she could have played with her pacing a bit more.

Amazing retelling of one of my favourite Halloween movies!

Fast based, great details added which is skipped in movie (Ray), more details into each character. I did not fully enjoy the narration but still loved this audio book
