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.
