John Carpeneter’s 1978 slasher Halloween is one of the greatest horror movies of all time. Shot on a shoestring budget and undeniable in its efficacy, Halloween has become a horror classic that terrifies audiences to this day, instilling a sense of fear into the innocent concept of babysitting.
Many horror fans say that the series devolved with each entry after 2nd film (I love Season of the Witch and H20), which is hard to disagree with. The “Cult of Thorn” storyline is interesting, to be certain, but it felt very strange and it turned many people off, myself included. There’s also the fact that Michael Myers began to look really bad in those middle entries, coming back to form in H20 only to look dreadful again in Resurrection. It should also be said that even though I’m not a fan of Rob Zombie’s entries, I do have to admit that Michael looked really solid in those two films.
So, while fans have been eagerly awaiting a real return to form for the iconic masked killer, the video game Dead by Daylight has decided to give them the chance to return to Haddonfield and recreate their own version of the film!
Recently it was announced that both Michael Myers and Jamie Lee Curtis’ character Laurie Strode were being added to the game, along with a new environment for the killing to take place. To celebrate the DLC release, which comes out on Steam tomorrow, a new trailer and a spotlight video have been released, both of which can be seen below.
To those of you who play Dead by Daylight, it’s obviously going to be really exciting to play as Michael. However, how many of you are stoked to play as Laurie and see how well you can survive?
