Boss Team Games has revealed it is making two new games based on John Carpenter’s Halloween, one of which Carpenter is intimately involved in. The studio behind Evil Dead: The Game will develop two projects based on the 1978 slasher classic. The most eye-catching part is that one project will be developed in Unreal Engine 5 and include significant input from avid gamer, synth enthusiast, and legendary director John Carpenter.

2 Halloween Video Games in Development, John Carpenter Issues Statement

In 1978, an unproven filmmaker named John Carpenter cobbled together $300,000, a four-week filming schedule, and the up-and-coming daughter of an iconic scream queen. The film would gross $70 million, and become one of the most successful independent films of all time. Of course, that film was Halloween. Not only was it a wild success in the late 70s, but it birthed a decades-long franchise of horror films centered around the ultimate boogeyman, Michael Myers. The impact that Halloween had on horror, and in particular slasher films, would reverberate throughout cinema.

Horror movies are so timeless and versatile because they can take place across a variety of settings and periods. It's not as limited as, say, science-fiction movies, which are commonly associated with the future, or fantasy movies, many of which take place in entirely different worlds. The only basic requirement for horror movies is that they be intentionally scary, or at least try to be, which means filmmakers can utilize pretty much any setting they want.

The Blumhouse method fits Netflix very well. The streamer needs countless hours of content, and the studio is happy to provide it. Jason Blum and his hired hands throw everything against the wall to see what sticks. It results in a few good films, but the lion’s share of Blumhouse’s output is boring. Garbage like Truth or Dare just washes off of Jason Blum’s back, but it’s worth paying attention to the project. People around the world evidently agree, because Truth or Dare is currently the tenth most-watched movie on Netflix.

Music can make or break a film. Scores are used to enhance the atmosphere, and they are sonic tools that help filmmakers shape their stories, and have a huge emotional impact on their audience. If the music is not done right, the film loses a lot of its footing, and the story doesn't engage the audience.
