[John Carpenter's] Halloween by
"Film scholar Murray Leeder offers a bold and provocative study of [John] Carpenter's film [Halloween], which hopes to expose qualities that are sometime effaced by its sequels and remakes. It explores Halloween [1978] as an unexpected ghost film, and examines such subjects as its construction of the teenager, and the relationship of Halloween the film to Halloween the holiday, and Michael Myers's brand of "pure evil." It is a fascinating read for scholars and fans alike."--from publisher
