John Carpenter’s HALLOWEEN to Return to U.S. Theaters this October

The first and best HALLOWEEN film returns to theaters.

What’s that you say, horror fan? You worship at the druid shrine of John Carpenter’s landmark 1978 body count classic HALLOWEEN and yet, you say you’ve never, ever seen it on the big screen

Well, brother/sister/other, no need to get bent out of, er, “Shape”. For if you happen to live in one the participating U.S. cities listed HERE, and you’re free on Thursday, October 29th at 7:30pm, then you’re all set to see HALLOWEEN the way it was designed to be seen: projected on the big screen, complete with a king-size Donald Pleasance screaming , Jamie Lee Curtis’ comely form sauntering and JC’s game-changing electro-acoustic score pummeling.

That’s right, Fathom Events, in partnership with SpectiCast is bringing John Carpenter’s original HALLOWEEN back to the cinemas for a special one-night event, complete with a new, pre-show introduction video by Carpenter himself.

Tickets can be purchased online by visiting www.FathomEvents.com, or at participating theater box offices. Fans throughout the U.S. will be able to enjoy the event in select movie theaters through Fathom’s Digital Broadcast Network. For a complete list of theater locations visit the Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are subject to change).

John Carpenter’s “Halloween” premiered on October 25th, 1978, in Kansas City, Missouri. After performing successfully in the Midwest, it then moved on to Chicago and New York. From there, it had a platform release across the country, playing in cities all across the U.S. Over 35 years later, the movie has made its money back more than 200 times, making it one of the most successful independent horror movies of all time, just behind TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES and THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT.

And really, I think the take away from all of this news is that TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES has made more money than HALLOWEEN. Strange indeed.

(And just in case you’ve forgotten how perfect a film HALLOWEEN is, here’s the theatrical trailer, one more time, with feeling…)
