There Will Be an Official Novelization for ‘Halloween Kills’
This past Saturday, David Gordon Green, Jamie Lee Curtis and even John Carpenter took part in the #HalloweenAtHome watch party over on Twitter, watching and tweeting along with Halloween (2018). Blumhouse’s VP of feature film development Ryan Turek participated in the fun as well, and he revealed during the chat that a Halloween Kills novelization is on the way.
“I just read a draft of the novelization for Halloween Kills,” Turek tweeted in response to a fan who brought up the official novelization for Gordon Green’s Halloween.
That book was written by John Passarella, released in October 2018.
As far as we’ve heard, Halloween Kills is still set for theatrical release on October 16, 2020, and we’d expect that the novelization will be released around that same time.
Stay tuned for more as we learn it.

New Cinematic Adventure “Operation Leading Edge” Coming to ‘Alien The Roleplaying Game’
Free League Publishing are forging ahead with a slew of new content for Alien The Roleplaying Game Evolved Edition, headlined by a new cinematic adventure in “Operation Leading Edge”, and an accompanying set of miniatures.
Both Operation Leading Edge and the miniatures set are available for pre-order now from the Free League webshop, with immediate PDF access ahead of its Q4 2026 release. You can also snag a new dedicated dice tray for the Alien RPG and the Evolved Edition.
Operation Leading Edge is a stand-alone adventure for Alien RPG, but also serves as the second installment of the Jeremiah Saga trilogy. The adventure is designed for 3–5 players plus the Game Mother, and lets the players take the roles of a team of Colonial Marines sent to secure a rich mineral deposit on the remote moon Jeremiah VI.
Here’s what you get with the new campaign:
- The main Operation Leading Edge adventure book.
- Two huge double-sided maps (format 34 × 22 inches) featuring the key adventure locations in great and terrifying detail.
- Five pre-generated characters to choose from.
- Playing cards for personal agendas and NPCs.
- Cardboard tokens for characters and creatures.
- GM maps and player handouts.

Complementing Operation Leading Edge is the new miniatures set for the campaign, featuring 20 high-quality miniatures of Colonial Marines, enemy troops from the Union of Progressive Peoples (UPP), and of course, a host of Xenomorphs.

Standing 28mm in scale, these are perfectly sized for use on the large battle maps included in Operation Leading Edge and other cinematic adventures for the Evolved Edition.
The new Operation Leading Edge miniatures set also includes a booklet with simplified combat rules that make it possible to play quick skirmish battle rules in the Alien universe using the included miniatures.
In case you haven’t hopped on board, you can check out Aaron’s review of the Evolved Edition, which as you might expect, adds even more fantastic content to an already fantastic TTRPG.
