How the return of the novelization has brought more material for the fans to enjoy
Riding the success of John Carpenter’s 1978 original masterpiece, HALLOWEEN, Bantam Books released the first franchise novelization in 1979; penned by Curtis Richards (pseudonym of Richard Curtis: literary agent and author advocate). The novel elaborated on the story with focus on the Celtic rituals of the holiday origin and how they relate to Michael Myers and also got the reader a bit more intimate with the masked killer including touching upon the often-discussed relativity of the sexual motivations behind male slashers.
