Behind The Mask
This is a fantastic look behind the movie Halloween, it's really interesting and fun to find out more about my favourite Horror film.

Bit misleading
I only made it through the first two chapters before returning this. I thought it would focus more on behind the scenes of the films, but for the first movie at least it only talks about the novelisation and then there’s a whole chapter which is just review quotes about the film. Maybe it goes into more detail for the later films but as I was primarily interested in the first one, it was incredibly disappointing
