Halloween: The Complete Authorized History
A couple months back someone contacted me asking me if I could email them all the Halloween articles I would be posting on the site in advance of releasing them here on the site. The man asked for them because he was going to be writing a book on the movie series. I didn’t have all of them scanned in at the time, so I wasn’t able to. I never heard back from him. I’m not sure if this book is by the man who contacted me (I no longer have the email), but if not, looks like we might be in for TWO books. I’ll keep you posted on that bit.
Here’s a copy of the books description on its Facebook Page:
Trancas International Films is proud to announce HALLOWEEN: THE COMPLETE AUTHORIZED HISTORY by Justin Beahm is now in production, taking the iconic franchise from screen to page in what will be an exhaustive exploration of all ten films, as well as HALLOWEEN 3D, now in pre-production. Timed for release in October of 2013 in celebration of the series’ 35th Anniversary, HALLOWEEN: THE COMPLETE AUTHORIZED HISTORY will tell the story of each picture via dozens of interviews with the people who made it happen, from directors to producers, composers to fx artists, writers to stunt personnel.
HALLOWEEN: THE COMPLETE AUTHORIZED HISTORY will be heavily illustrated, containing hundreds of rare images, documents, props, artifacts, and promotional materials, culled from the Trancas archives and personal collections of those involved. In addition, the book will feature historical genre magazine articles relating to each film’s release, as well as new original artwork from some of today’s most notable talents.
Justin Beahm is a contributing editor at Fangoria magazine, a senior writer at Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine, and is now Editor-In-Chief of HalloweenMovies.com. In addition, Justin is Creative Director of Hip Bonz merchandise company, and Vice President of the sCare Foundation, a non-profit group of horror genre personalities dedicated to combating teenage homelessness and poverty (more at scareoundation.org).

I personally cannot wait to read this. The Friday The 13th film series got their book years ago, it was about time one was released for the Halloween films.
We will keep you posted when we get more information regarding the book and you can keep watch on the facebook page for it, as well as the official page for it, both linked above.
Awesome! It’s about time we got something like this. I was just thinking the other day “I wonder if anything is going to be done for the 35th anniversary” …too bad we have to wait so long for it
Also, Editor-In-Chief of HalloweenMovies.com? What’s to edit? There’s nothing on the bloody site! lol
Maybe he’s the new guy? They did just put that notice out on Facebook the other day looking for a new person. Who knows
