Further Front Publishing Launches New Illustrated Story: The Legend of Halloween, Telling the Classic 1978 Horror Story in a Reimagined Way

The illustrated story is written by David Gordon Green and Onur Tukel, based on the original Halloween screenplay by John Carpenter and Debra Hill

LOS ANGELES (January 26, 2021) Further Front Publishing releases the illustrated story The Legend of Halloween, based on the original motion picture screenplay of Halloween (1978) from John Carpenter and Debra Hill. The new illustrated story is co-written by filmmaker David Gordon Green, who directed the 2018 Halloween sequel as well as the upcoming films Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends, and Author/Director Onur Tukel (Applesauce, Richard’s Wedding) who also illustrated the book, while Malek Akkad and Ryan Freimann, producer and executive producer of the 2018 Halloween film and forthcoming sequels, are overseeing the production.  The book will be available on Tuesday January 26, 2021 at http://legendofhalloween.com.

Originally premiered in the fall of 1978, Halloween inspired a generation of innovative horror films and a slew of franchise sequels and reboots. The Legend of Halloween follows the iconic villain Michael Myers as he wreaks havoc on his hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois, on Halloween night. Laurie Strode, originally portrayed by actress Jamie Lee Curtis, falls victim to the escaped killer, but manages to fight for her life and confront her new foe along the way.

Through eerie rhymes and quirky illustrations emulating the unsettling nature of the classic horror journey, Green and Tukel craft a reimagined telling of the beloved source material for longtime fans and newcomers to the franchise.

“Joining this iconic franchise has been one of the most fulfilling artistic endeavors of my career,” says David Gordon Green. “With this new chapter, we hope to share our own love for Halloween with a new generation of horror fanatics.”

“I saw the original Halloween when I was about nine years old and it scared the wits out of me. I’ve seen it about fifty times since then and it continues to be my favorite horror film. The mask, the music, the indelible characters, the monologues of pure evil – to me it’s cinematic perfection,” said Onur Tukel. “Collaborating with David on a children’s book adaptation of Halloween has been demented and surreal, kind of like being simultaneously possessed by Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein and the demon Pazuzu.”

“The Legend of Halloween is a fun take on what has now become one of the most iconic films in cinematic history, John Carpenter’s Halloween,” says Malek Akkad, President of Trancas International Films which has produced Halloween (2018) and the upcoming Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends. “The fans of these films have always been the driving force of the franchise, and I hope that they will appreciate this new book as much I do. It is fun for all generations of Halloween fans, young and old.”

“We are so excited to bring our new book to Halloween fans, both new and old,” says Ryan Freimann, SVP of Trancas International Films. “The story of Michael Myers is one that continues to haunt fans worldwide across multiple generations, and The Legend of Halloween is no exception.”

Jason Blum Says Halloween Kills is Coming in 2021, “Vaccine or No Vaccine”

by

For Halloween fans, this week was to be a big one, as Halloween Kills was expected to arrive in theaters tomorrow, October 16th. Of course, that release was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and was subsequently shifted to October 15th of 2021. But with no vaccine currently available, will Halloween Kills keep that release date?

According to producer Jason Blum, it will. While recently speaking to Forbes, Blum stated of Halloween Kills, “No, we’re not holding it. Halloween Kills is coming out next October come hell or high water, vaccine or no vaccine. It is coming out.”

As to whether the film will arrive in cinemas or on streaming, given these unprecedented times, we have no idea (although we are certainly holding out hope that we can all experience Halloween Kills in theaters packed with Halloween fans, because the cinematic experience is something we love here at HalloweenMovies).

Either way, it’s comforting to know, that in some way shape or form, Michael Myers will return to the streets of Haddonfield next October.

Excl: FX Artist Christopher Nelson Talks Halloween Kills w/ BTS Photos!

by

“Let’s hope that the MPAA is nice to us,” said special make-up FX designer & department head Christopher Allen Nelson of the onscreen mayhem in the upcoming feature film Halloween Kills, when we recently sat down with him to chat all things Halloween.

An Oscar and Emmy award winning FX artist, Nelson’s impressive career began in the heyday of the FX-heavy genre pictures so prevalent in the 90s (you can dive into that in part one of our exclusive interview series here), and as a lifelong fan of Michael Myers, he found himself elated to work on 2018’s Halloween, both in the reimagining and design of The Shape’s iconic mask, but also on the film’s practical, and often grisly, special effects (see part two here).

Christopher Allen Nelson

For Halloween Kills, “There was a lot of challenges on this one, because it’s far more intense and layered,” said Nelson of the film, itself a direct sequel to David Gordon Green’s 2018 smash hit Halloween, the latter who has returned to direct from a script he co-wrote with returning collaborator Danny McBride and series newcomer Scott Teems.

In an attempt to remain as spoiler free as possible (something here at HalloweenMovies.com to which we adhere), we nevertheless queried Nelson on what fans of the long-running franchise may expect of Halloween Kills.

Behind-the-scenes of Halloween Kills

“I remember seeing (the film) Aliens,” offered Nelson of Halloween Kills’ similitude to the James Cameron-directed 1986 horror sci-fi film, which upped the ante of its 1979 predecessor Alien. “The first film is such a beautiful film. It’s my favorite in the series. Then Aliens came out, and I remember that when I went to see it that there were things that I wanted to see in the film, and things that I expected as a fan. The first film is legendary, but with the sequel I wanted it to go a little further. There were things the fan in me wanted to see, and Cameron delivered on every level. And I think that’s what Halloween Kills does. This one will deliver for Halloween fans, both for fans of the 2018 film and fans of the original 1978 film. It will give them what they want to see both visually and story wise. It feels like a natural progression of the narrative, and I think (director) David (Gordon Green) accomplished that.”

Returning to reprise her role of final girl “Laurie Strode” in Halloween Kills is series star Jamie Lee Curtis, who is joined by original cast members Kyle Richards, Nancy Stephens and Charles Cyphers. Additional cast includes Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, Robert Longstreet and Anthony Michael Hall, with Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney both returning as the iconic Michael Myers.

Pertaining to his visual design approach to the character, one who met a fiery fate in the closing moments of Halloween, “It was definitely a challenge, considering what happens at the end of the 2018 film,” offered Nelson. “It was a challenge carrying the mystery into our approach of him. We can’t take away that silhouette, and that face that everyone knows and loves, and we’re not reinventing ourselves, but we’re evolving. And so that was the way for me to approach it. Like I’ve said before, I approach the designs from an emotional standpoint, so everything can flow and live within the context of the world and the story which David is telling.”

“Also, there’s so much when it comes to makeup and effects, much more than in the last one,” Nelson revealed. “It’s very exciting because there are a lot of varieties within the art form. The volume (of FX needed) was a little challenging, and to do so on the budget (we had). As much as you can plan and think ahead, things always change on set within the schedule and within the day-to-day challenges shooting-wise, so you must adapt and do the best that you can. Some things make it in, and some things you build and execute on the fly. So, there was a lot of work. I had make-up, masks, and gags going every single day while myself and (special make-up effects co-designer) Vince Van Dyke and crew where designing, changing, and building.”

“So, it was very ambitious. Not only that, but we were really trying to push the envelope on how we were going to do it. Not only the quantity of make-up and FX, but also the quality, and of how to use new techniques, and yet keep most everything practical. David’s a huge fan of practical effects, so it’s all still very much so. We had a lot to do, and I honestly can’t wait for people to see this movie. There are some surprises in the film that I think people will be very excited about, as to how we pulled them off. I can’t wait to see and hear the reactions of people. I think it’s something I’m going to be very proud of.”

Christopher Allen Nelson applies make-up to Michael Myers actor James Jude Courtney on Halloween Kills

As for the film’s narrative expansion into the rich history of the franchise, “How do you say it without saying anything?” Nelson chuckled. “It should be clear that the ‘78 material that was in the 2018 script, but which wasn’t filmed, is not material in Halloween Kills. Ever since I’ve been involved in the Halloween world, directly, I’ve found that people are so passionate about it, and that they read into and see things sometimes which aren’t there. That can be a good and bad thing at times, and yet part of what makes the world of Halloween so fun.”

“Also, what’s in Halloween Kills, it’s not fan service,” offered Nelson. “It really lives and breathes within the context of the story, and the past has a lot to do with the present. And so, you’ll have to just hold off and go to the movie and get your popcorn, live in the world and enjoy it, and just take it in because you’ll be satisfied. I was satisfied, and I’m a tough critic, and I’m not a fan of fan service. If anybody knows me, they know that I don’t like a whole lot of everything. But I came away from filming thinking, ‘David and all of the filmmakers, they did it right.’”

“All I can say is, wait until you see this movie,” he continued. “I know you might think you know what’s going on, and I know that you may think you saw something (online), but you won’t know for sure until you see the movie. It’s hard for me to articulate, but you will be very, very pleasantly surprised.”

Circling back to Nelson’s prolific and successful career in the field of practical effects, we asked him, “What advice would you give to other monster kids like yourself who want to work in the world of movie magic?”

“I think that the advice I would give to somebody getting into the industry is to know your history,” he replied. “Know the people and the pioneers that have come before you, and the shoulders that you are standing on. I think that’s a key element, and something which I take into account constantly. Also, know your cinema, and know your movies. Know why you love the movies you love. Not just horror, and not just sci-fi, but all film genres. Learn storytelling and filmmaking and cinematography and writing and directing. If you know every aspect, and every department on a film, I think it makes one a better artist, a better filmmaker, and a better crew member, when they respect and love cinema and respect each other and other people on set. Try and take your ego out of it, and really just try to be the best you can be.”

“You don’t have to be the super, ultimate, best artist, and I’m walking proof of that,” Nelson finished humbly. “I’m not the best artist out there. I’m not the most talented guy. But what I lack in that, I make up for hopefully in knowledge and in a love of cinema and filmmaking, as well as a respect for this genre. Horror has made a huge jump, and there are filmmakers that have lifted the genre into great films. Immerse yourself into the people’s art that came before you, and respect your peers and respect those artists, both past and present. I think that’s my biggest advice.”
