crazy

Its crazy what halloween sequels almost got greenlit and a shame some of them didn't see the light of day.

if you love john carpenter or a Halloween fanatic check these books out

A must for die hard Halloween fan's!

I found myself questioning if there was 21+ hours worth of unmade Halloween movie material when I saw this audiobook. The first Taking Shape was incredible, and I wasn't sure if this one could measure up to it. Now that I've finished, I find myself wanting MORE! This is indeed a worthy follow up to the first book. I am now seriously upset that most of these scripts were unused. Hopefully, once this Blumhouse Halloween Trilogy is complete, they will go back and use some of these scripts (Platinum's script, in particular). Excellent performance and content!!!

Awesome

It’s just an awesome book. Great detail and interviews. Hope more franchises are in the future

Just As Great As The First Book

This is a must read for Halloween fans! It continues on from the also fantastic first book. Get both!

Excellent Listen

I like to think of myself as pretty knowledgeable about the Halloween franchise, but this book is loaded with so much info I’d not heard or read anywhere else. Top tier work.
