Beautiful Color Photo from Halloween 1978

[TheGhostlyShape]

Posted on the HalloweenMovies Twitter today, this awesome in-color photo of Myers leaning over the staircase! Awesome stuff!

Always loved that shot, I’ve never seen it in full color like this, just dark blue shadows. I’ve always wondered, is this an actual photo they took or a painting of some sort?

Awesome Nathan! I really like that

Thanks, CC! I’ve never seen it in color until they posted it and I just love the way it looks!

I’m thinking it’s the actual photo in color. It doesn’t look to be a black and white photo that was colorized, but I could be wrong and it might be! Just love the way it looks in color like this .

Woah!!! Fucking awesome! What is that picture in the bottom corner? Is that available in higher resolution anywhere?

Great contribution, K .

Holy cow, I’ve never seen the second and third shots on the bottom row!

The shot on the far bottom right was from a book from the 80s and it contains another shot with TLW breaking the kitchen door. Its a rare shot that was used in another book at the time.

Picture credit for that book goes to either Donnie D, Joshua W. Or Billy K.
I know each shared their copy many moons ago…can’t remember which these are…

Other than the first pic that was posted with the Shape looming down the stairway, the ones in the book were the only clear shot of the Shape I had ever seen back in 1984 at some bookstore.

You can still buy a copy

Thanks for the link!

Makes me wonder how many more are out there in books that have gone unnoticed.

The rest of the book is pretty solid, too. I made a little list of films to check out while reading it, good stuff.

These are amazing shots! Thanks everyone for posting them.

I remember hearing the on set photographer from Halloween was going to produce a book of her stills, does anyone know if anything came of this?

[Jasonlivessince1980]

Huh. No flesh tones visible in the neck or ear.

Her name is Kim, she made the book! It’s called On Set with John Carpenter. I bought one, then 2 others as gifts. I definitely recommend it!

Could of been color corrected, or it was early in filming. Tons of possibilities!

Thanks for posting these! I fixed the perspective and enhanced the TLW shot a bit.
