The Halloween franchise that originated all the way back in 1978 has gone through many changes and makeovers over the years, but author Andrew Grevas has meticulously gone through each and every incarnation to bring possibly the most detailed description of the series to date.

Grevas employs in-depth interviews with actors, directors, writers (and just about anyone else willing) from the ’78 original, all the way up to 2022’s Halloween Ends, that includes the likes of Dean Cundey, Ellie Cornell, Tom Atkins, Dee Wallace, and Dwight Little (just to name a few).

At first the Q&A-style of the many interviews here does seem to be a bit tedious, but the information contained within each one of them is usually enough to sustain ones attention span throughout the duration. Some of the more interesting topics discussed within can also be attributed to the many “what if” scenarios of the franchise as well.

Overall though, its a love letter from Grevas to one of horror’s most revered franchises, which longtime fans should without a doubt be able to both recognize, and respect.
