Christine Ray's summer has been nothing but lame dates and boring camping trips. She wants at least one interesting adventure before it's over. Then she sees the ad: Volunteer film crew needed for documentary on haunted sites. Spend the night at Smith Grove Mental Hospital . . . if you dare. She definitely dares. That place is the ultimate scare site--Michael Myers himself was locked up there 15 years. But what she and her filmmaking friends don't know is that Michael Myers still has a room at Smith Grove--and visiting hours are over

Even better than the first two.
Published by Lyn , 2 years ago
I’ve talked about the discrepancies in my previous reviews for the other two books, but I will say it seemed like each story got better and better. Too bad it ended with this book. Having the story take place at Smith Grove was amazing and created a very creepy atmosphere. This series is a must have for the ultimate Halloween franchise fan.
Not in the "official" Halloween universe. But still fun.

I really have enjoyed these novels and the Halloween comic books of the last few years. But it certainly must be noted that after Halloween 6, the continuity got quite muddled. H20 ignored parts 4-6 buit confusingly made references to part 4 and even acknowledged that Loomis had survived!?! The comics suggested that Michael was actually born on Halloween (HUH!?!, there was no birthday party going on at the beginning of part 1.) and had the events of H20 taking place in 2001. UGH!) These novels postulate that the first film happened in 1985. What a headache. Don't these people do research. At least they get the location of Haddenfield correct. (The Friday the Thirteenths cant make up their minds where Crystal Lake is. New York, New Jersey, Long Island, Connecticut, Vermont. It just moves around the map.) NO I dont remember Michael ever grunting or growling. His jumpsuit has changed colors a few times though. It was grey in Halloween 6. Nuff said the better. Dont even get me started about the whole Elm street in in Ohio thing. They have palm trees in Ohio?
Better than The Scream Factory

I really enjoyed this book better than the Scream Factory. I thought the setting was alot scarier and the death scenes were more elaborate and gory. There seemed to be too many main characters though. I have trouble sometimes keeping them straight. If you are a Myers fan then you should definitely read this book. JUST DON'T READ THIS WHEN YOU'RE ALL ALONE IN THE HOUSE.
A great, scary book

I thought the book was great. I don't agree with the growling or grunting. He dosn't do either in the movies. He is silent and he doesn't want to be seen. And he should be more scairer by walking very slow and standing in darkness where only his white mask can be seen. And she should tell more about his past. But overall it is a good book and I hope Kelly comes out with more in the future.
Pretty spooky.

Kelly O'Rourke did a good job of making the charactors seem real, and of making a creepy atmosphere, but her prespective of Michael Myers is kinda off at times. Like when she mentioned that his jumpsuit was black? WRONG. As every hardcore Myers fan should know, Michael's jumpsuit is navy blue. Not black(of course!) And the whole grunting, groaning, growling thing is a major flaw, because he was always silent and emotionless ever since he murdered his sister. And also, he wasn't as sneaky and silent as he was in the movies, it was almost like he was desperate to be seen. Besides that, this was a very good book with gruesome death scenes, good humor, and loads of action. I'm only 11, but trust me on this: This is the best in the three book series.
Reads like a Film
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I was surprised at this book. I haven't read an of the others, but it was very pleasing to read. Quite different than that of the target audience it was aimed for. Michael's motives seem a little out of wack in this book, but I was happy with the way that they didn't add in another family member. I did enjoy the book, it was great! I can see an untold chapter in the film series (*wink wink*)
