WOW. Can’t believe I’ve been devouring books about the Halloween saga for 2 whole months, let alone books as good as Taking Shape and Taking Shape II. Taking Shape II is a fascinating peak at unmade Halloween sequels. It’s a MUST read for any Halloween fan. I’d heard about many of these sequels on news sites throughout the years but it was treat getting to take a deep dive into what these might have entailed and why they weren’t made. Incredible map of where this series could have (and maybe definitely sometimes should not have) gone. Nearly a five star read for me, but the last few chapters are a little too repetitive… I get that they tried to make 305837 Halloween movies set at Smith’s Grove but do we need to dedicate to many pages to each of them? 😭 Lighting all my candles in honor of the unmade Halloween 3D that was set to follow Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, as it sounds like it would have been a badass continuation of his work, which I unapologetically loved.
