![]() ![]() In fact, Jamie Lee Curtis's Laurie is never once mentioned in The Scream Factory, and neither is Dr. No, this is not the same Laurie from the original movie. ![]() The first book, The Scream Factory, was published on Octoand follows seventeen-year-old Laurie. Let's go back to October 1997, shall we? Author Kelly Reno (writing as Kelly O'Rourke) was hired by Berkley to write a series of three Halloween novels for teens, each book following different teenage characters in Haddenfield, Illinois. I haven't managed to find many, especially not the 1990s YA series. The books are out of print and fetch a ton of money in the third-party seller market. If you are a Michael Myers fan, you know which one I'm referring to.Įven though I have seen the Halloween films countless times, there has been a blind spot for me: the Halloween movie tie-in novels. This includes the sequels, even the less than stellar ones. I have watched it at least once every year since 2007 and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. ![]() From Carpenter's haunting original score to the long, panning shots of Haddenfield's nighttime streets bathed in blue moonlight, I adored every frame of the movie. (Thanks for ruining everything, The Walking Dead.) I was 14 years old and it was my very first slasher film. I first saw it on AMC's Fear Fest in 2007, back when the horror movie marathon was a month-long event and didn't totally suck. John Carpenter's Halloween is my favorite horror film of all time. ![]()
