If you've read Armando's other tie-in novels, you know what you're in for! From the author of novelizations of 70's/80's Slasher Classics BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974), HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME (1981), and SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT (1984), Armando Muñoz!
This (novel) perfectly encapsulates how much the author clearly knows these movies inside and out, and also why the idea of writing a novel based on the finished film (as opposed to a screenplay while the movie is still in production) can be just as rewarding to fans. The novel contains expanded kills and scenes, new characters, and a foreword written by the film's director, George Mihalka. With updated art by Gary Pullin and red paper lining the front and back of the book, this novel is a gorgeous second edition that you'll return to every Valentine's Day!
On February 14, 1960, the coastal mining town of Valentine Bluffs suffered a tragic mine explosion, trapping twenty workers in the rubble for weeks. Only one man, having desperately resorted to cannibalism, survived. His name was Harry Warden. On the one-year anniversary of the explosion, Harry brutally murdered the supervisors whose negligence led to that fateful tragedy when they left their posts early to attend the town's famous Valentine's Day celebration.
Harry has been locked away in an asylum for the criminally insane ever since. Now, it's 1981 and the town is gearing up for its first Valentine's Day celebration in two decades. Decorations line the streets and roses are flying off the shelves. When the town mayor receives a box of candy containing a gruesome warning, fear of another potential murder spree causes the celebration to be canceled. For the locals too young to remember their town's dark past and too old to be afraid of ghost stories, they defy the mayor's decree and hold their own private Valentine's gathering. But a killer has deiced to crash their party. And as the blood flows, so too, will the blood.For more RARE CULT, HORROR, SLASHER, FRIDAY THE 13th, HALLOWEEN, MICHAEL MYERS, LEATHERFACE, and TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE related toys, posters, novelizations, DVD's, Blu-rays, and other cool stuff!
