Two new games based on John Carpenter's Halloween franchise are in the works, and the iconic horror director himself is involved in at least one of them.

From creating virtual experiences to selling tickets within games and social media, Hollywood is trying to capture the attention of young fans in places they frequent.

IGN can exclusively reveal that Boss Team Games is making two new games based on Halloween, one of which will be in Unreal Engine 5 and will include the "intimate" involvement of John Carpenter.
