Further Front Publishing's newly released illustrated book The Legend of Halloween (order here and our REVIEW here) puts a fresh twist on the story John Carpenter and Debra Hill told in the original, classic Halloween – and we're giving five Arrow in the Head readers the chance to win a copy of the book, signed by author / Halloween 2018 director David Gordon Green! 

Written by Green and Onur Tukel, who also provided the illustrations, The Legend of Halloween follows

the iconic villain Michael Myers as he wreaks havoc on his hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois, on Halloween night. Laurie Strode, originally portrayed by actress Jamie Lee Curtis, falls victim to the escaped killer, but manages to fight for her life and confront her new foe along the way. Through eerie rhymes and quirky illustrations emulating the unsettling nature of the classic horror journey, Green and Tukel craft a reimagined telling of the beloved source material for longtime fans and newcomers to the franchise.

The creation of this book was overseen by Halloween producers Malek Akkad and Ryan Freimann. Akkad says The Legend of Halloween is 

a fun take on what has now become one of the most iconic films in cinematic history, John Carpenter’s Halloween. The fans of these films have always been the driving force of the franchise, and I hope that they will appreciate this new book as much I do. It is fun for all generations of Halloween fans, young and old."

 

Freimann added: 

We are so excited to bring our new book to Halloween fans, both new and old. The story of Michael Myers is one that continues to haunt fans worldwide across multiple generations, and The Legend of Halloween is no exception."

Green sees this book as a way to "share our own love for Halloween with a new generation of horror fanatics". Tukel names Halloween as his favorite horror film, calling it "cinematic perfection". He said, 

Collaborating with David on a children's book adaptation of Halloween has been demented and surreal, kind of like being simultaneously possessed by Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein and the demon Pazuzu."
