Earlier this year, I posted my review of Taking Shape: Developing Halloween from Script to Screen, by Dustin McNeil and Travis Mullins. It was not a book I thought I would be interested in because I thought I knew as much about the early Halloween films that I need to or when it came to the later sequels, as much as I cared to. But I found the book fascinating and ended up loving it. Well now McNeill and Mullins are back for Taking Shape II:  The Lost Sequels.

If you think this covers a couple of films that never got made, think again. This volume covers 24 (!?!?!) lost Halloween sequels that never made it past the script stage and onto the big screen. You’ll get to read about these from the people directly involved, some being heard publicly for the first time. At 600 pages and priced under $30, you can bet that this will have so much trivia and information about these films that never came to be, hearing insights and ideas of what some wanted to do. That alone seems pretty intriguing if you’re a fan of the Halloween series.  

Here is some of the subjects covered in this volume. See if this doesn’t wet your whistle…

TAKING SHAPE II covers:
– An alternate Halloween III pitched decades after the first one!
– Three unused versions of Halloween 4 – one with Laurie Strode!
– Exclusive details on an early Halloween 5 – with evil Jamie Lloyd!
– The Halloween 6 nearly produced by Quentin Tarantino!
– An early version of Halloween 7 before it became H20!
– Three different sequels to Halloween: Resurrection!
– Insight into how a crossover with Hellraiser almost came to be!
– Two different stabs at a 3D sequel in the Rob Zombie era!
– A reboot with TWO Shapes! (And another with one hundred!)
– A reboot that introduced the Halloween Multi-verse!
