Confirmed: Halloween Kills is getting a novelization

I have been a fan of novelizations ever since I was a kid, so I thought it was very cool that John Passarella was hired to write a novelization of the 2018 HALLOWEEN film (you can pick up a copy of the book HERE). The next HALLOWEEN sequel, HALLOWEEN KILLS, is set to reach theatres on October 16, 2020, and co-producer Ryan Turek has confirmed that the new film will be getting a novelization as well.

Turek dropped the news on Twitter, revealing that he has already read the novelization: 

Directed by David Gordon Green from a screenplay he wrote with Danny McBride and Scott Teems, HALLOWEEN KILLS stars Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace, Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy Doyle, Nancy Stephens as Nurse Marion, Robert Longstreet as Lonnie Elam, Charles Cyphers as Leigh Brackett, Judy Greer as Laurie's daughter Karen, Andi Matichak as Laurie's granddaughter Allyson, Dylan Arnold as Allyson's boyfriend / Lonnie's son Cameron, and Jibrail Nantambu as scene stealer Julian. Child actress Victoria Paige Watkins will also be appearing as a character named Christy. Original Michael Myers performer Nick Castle is also in the cast, possibly making another masked cameo like he did in HALLOWEEN 2018, and Myers is primarily being played by James Jude Courtney again.

Curtis has said that HALLOWEEN KILLS will 

really unpack the first movie, bringing back all those characters whose lives were affected by what happened in 1978.

HALLOWEEN KILLS will be followed quickly by another sequel, HALLOWEEN ENDS. Green will be directing and has written the script with McBride, Paul Brad Logan, and Chris Bernier. That one is aiming for an October 15, 2021 release.

Malek Akkad is producing these films with Jason Blum and Bill Block. Green, McBride, and Curtis serve as executive producers alongside John Carpenter and Couper Samuelson. Carpenter will also be composing the score.
