Publisher Boss Team has signed a deal with horror film director John Carpenter. 

As reported by IGN, the firm is going to be releasing two new titles based on the director's Halloween franchise. Boss Team has previously released Evil Dead: The Game. 

These two Halloween titles are both going to be based on the 1978 original movie. It's been more than 40 years since there has been a game based on the franchise. One of the titles is being built with Unreal Engine 5. 

"As a huge gamer myself, I'm thrilled to help bring Michael Myers to life again in this game, and my hope is to scare you silly," Carpenter said. 

Boss Team, er, boss Steve Harris added: "Everyone at Boss Team Games are huge fans of horror and Halloween obviously holds a special place in the hearts of all horror fans. Getting to work with iconic characters like Michael Myers and build on John Carpenter’s original vision is literally a dream come true. Everyone at Boss Team is thrilled and honoured to be working with Malek Akkad and John Carpenter to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience that fans of the movie and video games will love."
