HORROR LITERATURE COLLECTION
This is the original 1979 Bantam Books movie-tie-in-novelization of Halloween, written by Curtis Richards. Issued to coincide with John Carpenter’s groundbreaking film, this paperback has become one of the most sought-after horror collectibles of its era.
Classic black cover with jack-o-lantern/ghost imagery and the ‘Trick… or Treat… or Die’ banner. Out of print and far rarer than later printings. With the low surviving supply, this copy is in pristine condition for its age and is a true grail piece for collectors of vintage slasher memorabilia.
Spine remains in excellent shape with no visible creases or wear. When opened, the pages show little to no signs of use - it appears the book was rarely, if ever, read.
*Unique printing anomaly: On the copyright page, this copy features the uncommon misprint reading ‘Batam edition / October 1979’ instead of “Bantam.” This error only appears in certain early runs and is a standout feature for completists.
Wrapped in Lineco acid-free interleaving tissue paper and stored in an acid-free Lineco archival book storage box for paperbacks within a smoke-free/climate-controlled environment.
Publisher: Bantam Books, Inc.
Edition Date: October 1979
Copyright Holder: Compass International Pictures
ISBN: 0-553-13226-1
