Boss Team Games, the studio behind 2022’s Evil Dead, is developing two video games based on the 1978 horror classic Halloween.

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

John Carpenter loves video games. Like, a lot. So much so that, in 2023, he told Business Insider that gaming and watching basketball were "all I care about doing." But save for a cult-hit adaptation of The Thing, a next-to-forgotten 1986 beat-em-up based on Big Trouble in Little China, and one or two others, video games have yet to return Carpenter's love. At least, not until today.

Great news, horror fans: John Carpenter's Halloween is getting not one, but two video games, and the director himself is helping on one of them. It might be the middle of summer, but you can never celebrate Halloween too early, can you? Alright, we'll hold off on the seasonal celebrations for now, but there are a couple of reasons to be excited about Halloween, and that's the announcement that two games based on the classic film series are coming from Evil Dead: The Game developer Boss Team Games. This comes from IGN, who shared that details are currently limited at the moment, but what is known as the both games are being developed "in conjunction with the producers of the Halloween franchise."

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the landmark horror A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). The film, which introduced the iconic villain Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), transformed the face of the genre, blending the then-typical slasher (only a relatively new breed at the time with the likes of Halloween and Friday the 13th) with disturbing supernatural elements only a creative genius like director Wes Craven could dream up.

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.

So often, sequels are disappointing. Time and time again, sequels rely on already existing excitement for a feature and do little to develop it further, anticipating that a return to a much beloved world or a reuniting with the characters will be enough to keep audiences happy. For example, it felt unlikely that a giant shark would strike again in Jaws II, let alone a third time in Jaws The Return - that great white was truly looking quite long in the razor sharp tooth by that point. The prevalence of bad sequels sets a precedent that you can't expect them to be anywhere near as good as the original, and therefore, when a sequel is made that develops the meaning and intention and provides a new angle, it is an unexpected experience that must be treasured.

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.
