It's in this book. Authors did an AMAZING job in sharing new and interesting info about our favorite series. Only true fans could put something out like this. Super thick book, too. I was quite surprised to see the size, when I opened the package. If you have any doubts about whether to drop the $$$ on this, forget them. Any real fan wants this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun read for fans of Halloween *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 13, 2020* The original Halloween is one of my all time favorite films!It's fun to read the origin story of this amazing film!Full disclosure:I enjoy the other Laurie Strode installments. The Michael and Laurie storyline is Halloween for me.But Halloween II, H2O, and Halloween 2018 don't come close to the original.The other sequels and Rob Zombie's reboots are not at all interesting to me.I watched each film again in preparation for reading about them.The additional viewings did not change my above opinions.This book made me appreciate that each film was an attempt to bring something new to the series.The behind the scenes stories are almost more interesting than the films.This book is s really interesting glimpse into the cutthroat film industry. The studio system is revealed to be a tangled mess of investors and studio execs that place profit over loyalty and creativity. The main theme here is greed and control! So many poor decisions killed the potential of each sequel.I came away sympathizing for those involved in these films. They were pressured to cut corners, make ridiculous concessions, and denied the opportunity to tell good stories.No wonder John Carpenter and Debra Hill sold their stakes and ran.Glad the story of Halloween III was included here and given equal treatment. It's an underrated, flawed attempt at a fresh story free of the Michael Myers mythology. Too often it is excluded from the franchise.Pick this up if you are interested in the Halloween films. I'm glad I did. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE Book For Fans Of Halloween Films! *by G***5 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 4, 2021* If you can't get enough Halloween-the films-in your life, the book Taking Shape belongs on your bookshelf or in your Kindle. The writing is accessible without getting bogged down with technicalities, but the technicalities are in there. The reader gets all the 'behind the scenes' stories already familiar from commentary tracks and documentaries, with even more details fans will devour. Opinions about various sequels are left to the interview subjects and quotes from original film reviews, while the authors stay mostly neutral, which is greatly appreciated. This edition takes us all the way through the Halloween series from the 1978 original right up to Halloween 2018. I completely enjoyed Taking Shape and learned a bunch of new details about my favorite Horror franchise. And I'm looking forward to reading the second volume soon. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/162516055-dustin-mcneilltaking-shape-developing-halloween-from-script-to-scream](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/162516055-dustin-mcneilltaking-shape-developing-halloween-from-script-to-scream) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
