Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers

by Howard Mahmood

This installment marks the return of the seemingly indestructible masked murderer Michael Myers (George P. Wilbur), who is targeting Tommy Doyle (Paul Stephen Rudd), a young man tied into the legacy of the killer and his connections with the Strode family. As the supernatural elements of Michael's macabre abilities are explored, his longtime adversary, Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence), is also back in yet another attempt to stop the psychopath's brutal rampages.

Wanted a novel, not a script. And a bad version of it. Not even worth the 1 star.

It was terribly written, did no one edit this? Things are misspelt, whole words are missing and sentences are incomplete.

Still once I got used to the badly written parts and formatting of it, it was fun to revisit this version of the movie. And realise that I've only ever watched The Producer's Cut where I think this script is for the Theatrical version.

Unlike the other Halloween franchise books, this one is written as a screenplay.  however, there was little to no editing done. There's a LOT of errors; from missing words, spelling errors, instances where the author has people in a scene that aren't in the scene, etc. considering this is an official novelization of the movie, it absolutely should have at least been looked at by an editor; and if it was? Then the editor should have been replaced; along with whoever approved this for publication. There's also the matter that this novelization isn't complete. It ends about halfway through the story. This is a rare instance where the movie is much better than the book.
I give this book 1 of 5 Paws.

Mostly a bad review because of what I thought it was and then what it actually was. I had hoped it was novelization. I always liked this movie. It is bad....cheesy...but...I liked it. It added crazy lore to the idea of Halloween and I thought a kindle unlimited novel would explain some of the wacky lore. Unfortunately it was just a screenplay so it added nothing to a cheesy movie. So if you like screenplays you may like it more.

Spooky story

Really puts you in the mood for Halloween! The story is different than the movie so if you saw the movie, you are not completely spoiled. Some misspellings and grammar mistakes but still scary. The story is done in script form which I think was how the movie originally played out until someone changed it. I would recommend it to Halloween fans.

I was expecting a novelization, but this was the screenplay. It's easy to forget just how crazy this movie is until you actually see it on the page.

It's just the screenplay for the movie, not an early, different version like I'd thought. It's also sloppy as hell. Not really worth it unless you're a supermegafan.
