The Halloweenies kick off a new October tradition! After carving out the franchise for a whole year in 2018, then proceeding to offer that same coverage to the Hallogreen trilogy, they're finally turning to the stacks. Specifically, the novelizations. Each spooky season, we'll dust off our vintage novelizations and cover them in full. This year, we begin with Curtis Richards' excellent 1979 screen-to-page adaptation of the John Carpenter original. Bonus: We also spoke with Printed in Blood co-founder and publisher Steven Hoveke, who shares some insights into the forthcoming illustrated reprint due out in 2024.

Happy Friday the 13th! We have a special treat for you: Another series from the LC/Halloweenies family. It's called The Lady Killers: a Feminine Rage Podcast, and it's hosted by fellow Losers Jenn Adams and Sammie Kuykendall, in addition to our very own editor Mae Shults and Rue Morgue editor Rocco Thompson. So what's the gist? Each episode will feature Jenn, Sammie, Mae, and Rocco discussing a female-identifying killer in the horror genre—and sometimes the wider world of cinema—from Julia and Jennifer to Carrie and Christine. They’ll tell the story from her point of view, decide if it’s “Good For Her” Horror, and answer the most important question of all: would we die for her? New episodes every Thursday; subscribe now.
