John Carpenter's Halloween is getting two games from Evil Dead publisher


John Carpenter's seminal horror movie franchise Halloween is getting two new video game adaptations from Boss Team 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's Laurie Strode takes on masked serial killer Michael Myers. Watch on YouTube"As a huge gamer myself," Carpenter wrote in a statement provided to IGN, "I'm thrilled to help bring Michael Myers to life again in this game, and my hope is to scare you silly". However, the asymmetrical multiplayer game received only sporadic post-launch support, and Saber announced it was cancelling its Switch port and ending all development 18 months later.
