John Carpenter’s seminal horror movie franchise Halloween is getting two new video game adaptations from Boss Team Games, the publisher behind 2022’s Evil Dead: The Game.
That’s according to IGN, which says both titles will be based on Carpenter’s original 1978 Halloween movie, which saw Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie Strode taking on masked serial killer Michael Myers. Specifics are scarce, but the games will reportedly enable players to “relive moments from the film and play as classic characters”.
The projects – which will be the first proper video game adaptations of Halloween since it appeared on the Atari 2600 back in 1983 – are being developed in conjunction with the franchise’s producers, and Carpenter is said to be “intimately involved” in one of the titles.
