Sometimes IT reached up, seizing, tearing, killing....

Summary
The official novelization of the highly anticipated revamp of the classic horror film Halloween.
In 1978, Laurie Strode survived an encounter with Michael Myers, a masked figure who killed her friends and terrorized the town of Haddonfield, Illinois, on Halloween night. Myers was later gunned down, apprehended, and committed to Smith's Grove State Hospital.
For forty years, memories of that nightmarish ordeal have haunted Laurie and now Myers is back once again on Halloween, having escaped a routine transfer, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. This time, Laurie is prepared with years of survival training to protect herself, her daughter Karen and her granddaughter Allyson, a teenager separated from her family and enjoying Halloween festivities.

wow, wow, wow!
Absolutely amazing! The suspense kept me up literally all night. I didn't go to sleep until 07:00, until I'd finished the book. Scary, violent, and a damn good read. I haven't seen the film, but seriously thinking about it now. Only thing I wish, that we'd found out exactly what happened that night 40 years ago. As soon as it came up for pre-order, I grabbed it. Couldn't wait for it to come out. We've all heard of the nutorious Michael Myres if we're horror fans, even if we haven't seen the film. This was a finished in one sitting book. I hope we get 2nd book... Brilliant! Can't rate it high enough. I love horror, and this satisfied my cravings! If you love horror, read this!

Halloween 2018
I’m a huge fan of the original even went on a date when I went into see it. Now that was scary...the mother of all slasher films, maybe the first.
Although I enjoyed this book it’s not a mass of tingle, screaming situations which had me on the edge of my seat.
It’s really a standard bunch of instances which are quite predictable - lots of people die in various ways mostly on Hallowe’en.
I also felt that some of the choices made by some of the characters were just plain ...well stupid...rather like the female in one of the horror spoof films who has a choice at a cross roads A) go right to safety, police and family or B) go left certain death, serial killer. She of course goes left. I personally would be running in the general direction of off .. not investigating.
As an insomniac,I finished it overnight but I was left feeling kinda...meh! Mike Myers does what he does again and again.
The narration was exactly right for the book.
I don’t think I will be running out to see the new film on which this book is based rather I’ll go and dig up the Donald Pleasant version.

A poor showing for Michael Myers
I am an avid horror fan and do love listening to/reading horror books. From an audiobook perspective the narrator did a decent job but many of the voices come off as sounding too similar: Karen and Alyson sound very similar and unless the narrator tells you who spoke you are unsure who actually spoke. Ultimately they are working with they get really so my opinion of the story is no reflection on them.
The story itself, and this is no reflection on the narrator, is very subpar and I had to listen to it in stages. I really only finished it as I wanted to say I had completed it but it was really a slog to get through. There is no suspense and the detail is very basic at best. I have read the author talk about the issues with converting a script to a novelisation but this is just "he said", "she said", "felt knife in their stomach" without much drama or suspense, The only positive for the story was how the writer wrote Michael's internal thoughts in the present tense as Michael lives in the moment.
Luckily this was part of the Audible library so it didn't cost me anything but I would definitely not recommend this to anyone unless you are a diehard fan who can see no wrong in the franchise.

Who employed this narrator?
Couldn’t finish this, I’m fan of the movies and was excited to to listen to this, the narrator is boring very monotone and confusing as every character sounds the same, if it was for x y and z said, then you would never know who’s talking. I don’t know who told her she should be a narrator. I have listened to ALOT of audibles but this one is the most boring, has not got me hooked at all, I only made it to chapter 9 and gave up, if there is another version with a different narrator I will 100% give it another go, but I’m now making a list of books she has also narrated to avoid them

Exactly what you expect.
This is pretty much exactly what you would expect from a Halloween novelisation and I wasn't disappointed. The narrator had a monotone voice that plays well for the most suspecfull chapters but I felt she could have played with her pacing a bit more.

Liked the movie? Will like the book :)
There's not much to say here about the very story as it simply is a true-to-the-source novelization. 40 years after the events from the first 'Halloween' movie, Michael Myers a.k.a. The Shape goes on a killing spree once again.
The narrator, Emily Sutton-Smith, adds incredible value to the listening experience and for Myers's fans such as myself it was a thoroughly enjoyable listen. For Halloween newcomers and horror fans alike, I think there's also some fun to be had. Enjoy! :)

Meh.
Huge horror and especially halloween fan. This book isn’t terrible, but it is pretty amateurish. Maybe it’s the narration, maybe it’s the way it’s wrote, but the teen parts of this book are bad. The dialog during those segments are cringeworthy.
Thankfully, we did get a very decent movie out of this story. Usually I recommend books over movies, books always seem to give you a little more. Whether it be a longer scene, more character arc, a totality of the story, but not this time. So if I were to do it all over, read silence of the lambs, or the exorcist, but for Halloween, just watch the movie.

Where to start?
Lets have a contest..guess the # of times the words “the shape” appears? It truly was ridiculous. Either the author has a terrible memory or two dif ppl wrote this. Sooo many scenes contradict themselves it’s not funny. The scene in the house with the kid and babysitter, she’s been stabbed is slipping in blood, runs back up the stairs but when the boy comes in there’s just a “swipe” of blood on the wall. Plus is she completely silent during the whole time? He never hears anything? When the cop comes in same thing, never sees the massacre until he finds bodies? Bunch of these writing or editing gaffs. Many ridiculous moments that don’t flow with the “story”. Allison running full speed yet plodding Michael is still closing in. Lori has “been preparing for this a long time” we’re told over & over. But when she’s in the car with Michael she laments “I don’t know any self-defense” and cowers while he’s unconscious. Really?! After FORTY yrs of “knowing” he’s coming back? Bad,bad writing. After that just skipped to the end. No actual plot,just stabbing, beating with hammer, choking,blahblahblah

On the loose again.....
Forty years later Michael has escaped again! But this time Laurie is ready for him......
This book follows the course of the movies. Not a lot new here except for the ending... I have always been a Halloween fan and consider this to be the icing on the cake... If you enjoy the Halloween movies i think you will enjoy this one too ☺

3 stars. Got this as part of the Audible catalog to listen to for Spooky Season. Not bad, but nothing about it excited me that much. Started off strong but just fell off for me towards the end. I found myself ready for the book to just be done during the last few chapters. It didn't make me want to go see the movie..

I don't usually listen to fiction but I love the Halloween franchise and this is the first audiobook of a Halloween film I have ever seen available, so I went for it.
It was the best fiction I have read in years. It really did a good job of bringing the film to life.
