Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Back in January, we let you guys know that John Carpenter’s HALLOWEEN was getting an all-new retrospective documentary via Bloody Flicks called FOR THE LOVE OF THE BOOGEYMAN: 40 YEARS OF HALLOWEEN.

The film is eyeing a release this October to coincide with the opening of Blumhouse’s HALLOWEEN and today we have the first look trailer for your viewing pleasure. You can check it out below and then make sure to hit us up and let us know how excited you are for a new HALLOWEEN documentary in the comments below or on social media!

Rundown via Bloody Flicks:

This documentary is by fans and for the fans, chronicling why John Carpenter’s classic has stood the test of time.

Bringing together some of the brightest voices from independent horror we will explore what makes the film so special. From the music, the mask to Michael Myers, everyone has their own take on Halloween, and why it is the blueprint for slasher horror and in our humble opinion, has never been better.

We’ve already confirmed our first contributor to the project, Cruel Summer Director Phillip Escott, with plenty more familiar faces in the pipeline.

We’re aiming to release the documentary around Halloween 2018, and the release of the new sequel produced by John Carpenter and starring original cast members Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick Castle.

The film is directed by Paul Downey, edited by Paul Downey & Dave Hastings and stars P.J Starks, Nathan Thomas Milliner, Daniel Mark Young, J. Blake Fichera, James Plumb, James Morrissey, Dave Hastings, and Rick Gawel. Music by SHIO-Z and Will Vallar.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE BOOGEYMAN: 40 YEARS OF HALLOWEEN hits Halloween 2018.
