John Carpenter Gives Update On Tales For A Halloween Night Series

screenrant.com:

Horror legend John Carpenter has teased new information about his upcoming series Tales for a Halloween Night. Carpenter is considered an icon for his influential work on films like The Thing, They Live, and Halloween. Probably the franchise he's best known for,Halloween's impact has been so enduring that it continues to this day, with the latest entries in the franchise performing strong enough with audiences (if not always with critics) to have the potential to continue on, even beyond the upcoming Halloween Ends.

Tales for a Halloween Night began as a graphic novel series created by Carpenter and his longtime producing partner and wife, Sandy King, in 2015. The series consists of seven collections of horror tales written and illustrated by a plethora of veteran creators, including King herself, alongside heavy-hitters likes Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) and Tim Bradstreet (Hellblazer). Halloween Night showcases the duo's undying affection for all manner of things spooky and macabre. A TV adaptation of the series was originally greenlit for the SYFY channel back in 2017, with Carpenter and King both brought on as producers, but it fell apart due to creative differences. Tales then bounced over to Paramount+ for a time, but it appears it won't be going through there either, although little information is available to explain that decision. Progress was further stalled by the COVID pandemic, which saw an industry-wide slowdown in TV and film production.

But now there may be a light at the end of the tunnel. Per an interview with ComicBook.com, it seems all of Carpenter and King's persistence has paid off and the project has finally found a home.
