A proper ‘HALLOWEEN’ resurrection

October 30, 2018 by Jeff T. Smith No Comments
Halloween Novelization

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.

New ‘HALLOWEEN’ movie makes a welcome return to slash away its predecessors

New Halloween Movie Review

You’re not afraid of the bogeyman? You should be!

What can you say about a dream movie that no HALLOWEEN franchise fan thought would happen?

For all intents and purposes, the original saga of films ended following the poor feedback from Halloween: Resurrection in 2002 which saw the end of Jamie Lee Curtis’s titular character Laurie Strode. Rob Zombie did his take on the original story with two films that are held in mixed regard but they didn’t carry the weight that the original series had. Enter 2017, with Producer Malek Akkad (son of original producer Moustapha Akkad) getting the green light with Blumhouse Productions to bring on the team of director David Gordon Green with writers Danny McBride and Jeff Fradley to give a revitalized taste to the Michael Myers flavor. The key ingredient that sold the concept to many, including this writer, was in September 2017 when Jamie Lee Curtis announced she would be making her return for one final confrontation with Michael Myers. News sites lit up and fan base hearts starting beating. Not all was glorious when it was revealed that Halloween II (1981) through Resurrection were being completely discarded (there are Easter eggs though!); the story reverting back to the simplicities of an evil being committing a random act of terror on an innocent teenage girl and how, over 40 years, that girl’s post-traumatic repercussions have influenced her life.

MY FIRST FINAL GIRL – The importance of Laurie Strode

October 19, 2018 by Jeff T. Smith No Comments
Halloween 1978 Laurie Strode

Thank you, Jamie Lee Curtis.

She isn’t just my first final girl because, let’s face it, she was THE first final girl to hit a mainstream horror audience. With due kudos to final girls such as Marilyn Burns‘ Sally Hardesty in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Olivia Hussey’s Jess in Black Christmas, it was in 1978 that young starlet Jamie Lee Curtis first graced the screens as a 17-year-old babysitter who did not succumb to her attacker and continued to fight until the very end. This babysitter was named Laurie Strode in John Carpenter’s masterpiece, Halloween.
