Another great classic horror film franchise is being adapted into a video game. This time it is the original 1978 version Halloweenwhich is adapted into two separate games.

IGN reports that Boss Team Games is responsible for bringing the Halloween movie to video games. Boss Team Games was the publisher of another movie-based horror game released in 2022 Evil Dead: The Gamedeveloped by Saber Interactive.

Details about the two new Halloween Games are pretty slim at the moment. IGN says both games are being “developed in partnership with Compass International Pictures and Further Front.” Compass was the original owner of the Halloween film franchise, which is currently owned by that company’s successor, Trancas International Films.

The original film introduced the film world to Michael Myers, the silent and masked killer who seemingly cannot be killed himself. The original film was a huge success and spawned a slew of sequels and even a complete reboot, and most recently was the subject of a sequel trilogy of films.

According to the story, one of the two upcoming Halloween games will use the Unreal Engine 5 for its graphics. It will also feature some input from Halloween’s original director John Carpenter. The IGN article quotes Carpenter as saying, “As a huge gamer myself, I’m very excited to bring Michael Myers back to life in this game and I hope to scare the crap out of you.” IGN also says that the games will allow players to “relive moments from the movie and play as classic characters” from that film. There is no information on which studios are developing these games, nor is there a release date for the titles.

Carpenter also lends his name and input to another game. Toxic Command by John CarpenterAnnounced in June 2023, is still in the works at Saber Interactive, although there has been little information on the game’s status since its initial reveal.
