• HALLOWEEN: The Horrifying Audiobook of the Original 1978 Film | COMPLETE NARRATION

  Tonight on Weird Darkness, I'm sharing the complete audiobook novelization of John Carpenter's Halloween—a chilling adaptation that delves even deeper into the mind of pure evil than the film ever could.Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEIN THIS EPISODE: A rare and haunting treasure: the long-out-of-print novelization of John Carpenter's 1978 horror classic *Halloween*, written by Curtis Richards. True to the original film but filled with deeper, darker layers, this book explores a chilling supernatural origin for Michael Myers, weaving ancient Druid lore and the eerie roots of Halloween itself into the fabric of his story.

  We are fascinated by Bigfoot when we read about him in books or see him on TV—but what would you do if you came face-to-face with an 800-pound creature in the wild, and discovered that the terror is so overwhelming that grown men break down sobbing and can never bring themselves to hunt in the woods again?Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEIN THIS EPISODE: We are fascinated by him when we read about him in books, or see him on TV or in movies. Bigfoot has become bigger than life with every paranormal and cryptozoology enthusiast gobbling up every bit of news that comes out about the furry mysterious creature.
