Jim Henson's The Labyrinth Novelization: The Novelization

Product Information

Since its release, a number of books based on Labyrinth have been published. The Goblins of Labyrinth is a book containing Brian Froud's concept art for the film with descriptions by Terry Jones. It was published in 1986 [108] and reissued in a deluxe expanded 20th anniversary edition in 2006. [109] A concurrent novelization of the film was written by A. C. H. Smith [110] which, along with Smith's novelization of The Dark Crystal, was reprinted with illustrations and Jim Henson's notes by Archaia Publishing in 2014. [111] The film was adapted into picture book form as Labyrinth: The Storybook, written by Louise Gikow with illustrations by Bruce McNally, [112] and Labyrinth: The Photo Album, written by Rebecca Grand with photographs taken by John Brown from the film set. [113] Other tie-in adaptations included a read-along storybook produced by Buena Vista Records, which came with either a 7" 33⅓ RPM record [114] or cassette tape. [115] The production of Labyrinth was covered in multiple high-profile magazines and newspapers, in anticipation of its release, with articles appearing in The New York Times, Time, and Starlog magazines. [17] [49] [50] An article that appeared in The New York Times shortly after filming wrapped in September 1985 focused heavily on the film's large scale and emphasised the size of the production and selling Labyrinth as a more "accessible" film than The Dark Crystal due to the casting of live actors in its key roles. [49] An hour-long making-of documentary that covered the filming of Labyrinth and included interviews with the key figures involved in its production was broadcast on television as Inside the Labyrinth. [51] Jareth enters a portal into a dream, where, it is revealed, Maria has remained with her dream-version of Albert for three centuries. Jones is credited with writing the screenplay, while the shooting script was actually a collaborative effort that featured contributions from Henson, George Lucas, Laura Phillips, and Elaine May. Jones has said that the finished film differs greatly from his original vision. Jones states that, "I didn't feel that it was very much mine. I always felt it fell between two stories, Jim wanted it to be one thing and I wanted it to be about something else." Jones has said that his version of the script was "about the world, and about people who are more interested in manipulating the world than actually baring themselves at all". In Jones' original script, Jareth merely seems "all powerful to begin with" and is actually using the Labyrinth to "keep people from getting to his heart". [20] Beetleglum is tasked with looking after Maria's baby. Entering the Labyrinth, Maria befriends a goblin knight, Sir Skubbin, after he rescues her from a mermaid. Maria and Skubbin are captured by goblin Trawlers and brought aboard their airship. While escaping the airship, they encounter the Night Troll, Septimus, whom the Owl King sent to kill Maria.

Archaia released a Labyrinth short story titled Hoggle and the Worm for Free Comic Book Day on May 5, 2012 [133] and another titled Sir Didymus' Grand Day on May 4, 2013. [134] Archaia published Labyrinth: 30th Anniversary Special, a collection of seven short stories, in 2016 to mark the film's 30th anniversary. [135] Cory Godbey's stories from this collection were also released in picture book form as Labyrinth Tales. [136] Another six-story collection was released the following year, titled Labyrinth: 2017 Special. [137] In 2018, the two were compiled as Labyrinth: Shortcuts, which also included two new stories, [138] and another three-story collection was released as Labyrinth: Under the Spell. [139] In the frame narrative, Sarah reaches the centre of the Labyrinth and defeats Jareth, returning home with Toby. Beetleglum asks Jareth what happened to the baby in the story, recalling that soon after Maria entered the machine with her baby, Jareth arrived in the Labyrinth as a fully grown man and assumed the goblin throne. Beetleglum believes that Jareth is Maria's child, but it is not revealed what occurred during the interim. Jareth offers several suggestions, such as that Maria created him with her chalk, that Jareth is the Owl King reincarnated or even the Labyrinth itself, that Maria's baby grew up to be Hoggle the dwarf, or that the baby went home and grew up in the human world.
