True to the original 1978 film, embark on a horrifying night as Michael Myers, stalking and killing the citizens of Haddonfield one-by-one – or try to disrupt his plans as one of the locals.

Step into the chilling world of John Carpenter’s genre-defining film, now transformed into a suspenseful one-versus-many stealth horror experience. Put on the iconic mask to become the ultimate slasher, Michael Myers, stalking and executing the citizens of Haddonfield one by one, or striving to thwart Michael Myers’ plans as Civilians determined to save the unaware townsfolk before it’s too late. 

Stick to the shadows as Civilians, seeking out Haddonfield residents to warn them and searching for a way to contact the authorities. As Michael Myers, give them a reason to fear the dark and cut the phone lines to prevent the police from ruining his favorite holiday. Whether playing solo in story mode, against bots offline, or facing others in online multiplayer, each mode rewards stealth, strategy, and skillful play.

Staying true to the original film, IllFonic masterfully recreates the eerie atmosphere of Haddonfield across multiple maps and authentic locations. With a haunting ambience and score inspired by the legendary movie, Halloween brings the terror home in a new experience that will keep both old and new generations looking over their shoulders.

Explore the masterfully recreated locations and ambiance from Halloween, but more importantly: survive.

Halloween had a major impact this past weekend at PAX East, drawing thousands of attendees to experience its first-ever playable demo, attend a highly anticipated panel, and take part in a successful Guinness World Records title attempt for the “Largest gathering of people dressed as Michael Myers (Halloween franchise).”

Throughout the weekend, eager fans–inspired by the terrifying character from master horror filmmaker John Carpenter’s 1978 film–lined up to get hands-on with the show-exclusive demo, which offered an intense 1v4 multiplayer experience set in the shadowy streets of Haddonfield Heights. Players stepped into the roles of either the relentless Michael Myers or desperate Civilians, navigating a tense, stealth-driven game of survival that faithfully captures the atmosphere of the 1978 classic. 

On Saturday, March 28, IllFonic hosted a packed panel exploring how developers and original creators collaborate to build authentic interactive worlds. The discussion featured Ryan Freimann of Compass International Pictures, alongside IllFonic’s Jared Gerritzen and Jordan Mathewson, with legendary filmmaker John Carpenter joining virtually. The panel offered fans rare insight into the creative process behind adapting one of horror’s most iconic films into an interactive experience.

Later that afternoon, IllFonic, Trancas International Films, and fans made horror history. In front of the Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center, 254 attendees dressed as Michael Myers gathered to officially break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the largest assembly of the iconic slasher. Donning the signature mask, blue jumpsuit, and prop knife, participants united in a chilling tribute that transformed the streets of Boston into a sea of “Shapes,” marking one of the event's most memorable moments.

Halloween is coming to Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC (Steam / Epic Games Store) on September 8, 2026.
