Nobody\u2019s safe on the streets of Haddonfield – our signed Halloween<\/em> 1978 Ultimate Guide is the perfect companion to a cinematic night of trick or treating that became part of horror folklore and a true icon of the slasher genre.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Michael Myers has become a staple of the modern horror genre, but the story of his first screen appearance is more than a straightforward case of \u2018slasher meets victims\u2019. The signed Halloween<\/em> 1978 Ultimate Guide from Classic Monsters heads into the darkest corners of creators John Carpenter and Debra Hill\u2019s vision, exploring the many horrific ideas that found their identity in a blank-faced, silent maniac.<\/p>\n

\"Halloween<\/p>\n

This signed Halloween<\/em> magazine guide is full of information, with a range of articles covering the movie\u2019s origins and its inspiration. Unlike many other horror movies that had come before it, this one set its scenes of nerve-shredding terror in the most innocuous of surroundings, and yet unlike many of its contemporaries, it shares plenty of characteristics with horror classics from Hollywood\u2019s golden age, showing very little gore and allowing the audience\u2019s own imaginations to play a vital role. The Halloween<\/em> 1978 Signed Ultimate Guide captures the atmosphere of suburban slasher horror and shows how the story of Michael Myers’ homecoming set a new benchmark for the genre.<\/p>\n

The winning combination of established stars and unknown newcomers made Halloween<\/em> a true melting pot of characters, while the collaborative production process resulted in a movie that has lost none of its power – and that\u2019s to say nothing of the frantic, hypnotic title theme. The signed Halloween<\/em> Ultimate Guide features informative biographies of the cast and crew whose collective achievement can still frighten us today, from stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Pleasence to co-stars such as P J Soles and Nancy Kyes, and support cast members like Nancy Stephens.<\/p>\n

There was also a wealth of artistry going on behind the scenes: from genre legends Carpenter and Hill themselves, through to the many other members of the crew, this publication has biographies that will expand your knowledge of the movie\u2019s team. Some notable stars almost<\/em> got in on the action too, and our signed Halloween<\/em> movie guide magazine has information on just who didn\u2019t get onto the screen.<\/p>\n

As you\u2019d expect from a Classic Monsters signed guide to Halloween<\/em> 1978, this luxurious magazine is produced to the absolute highest standard, with a gloriously evocative cover portrait of Michael Myers by acclaimed horror artist John Febonio. Our commitment to the best image reproduction means that stills are meticulously retouched to look their best, while our use of state of the art full colour print processes ensures that even black and white images are rich and detailed. Clean, unfussy layouts ensure an easy and enjoyable reading experience as you explore each article, and it\u2019s all wrapped up in expert finishing and quality paper stock.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of kids out in the neighbourhood asking for candy, but some of them seem to be a little over-excited – that would certainly explain all the screaming. So put your feet up, ignore that old sci-fi movie that\u2019s on TV, and relax with our signed Halloween<\/em> 1978 Ultimate Guide. Wait a second – did you hear something upstairs? And where did the babysitter go..?<\/p>\n
