Beginning October 25th, John Carpenter's Halloween will terrify a whole new generation of moviegoers. The movie is expected to have a pretty wide release, so far as we know in the US only. Justin Beahm’s new mini-doc You Can’t Kill The Boogeyman: 35 Years Of Halloween will screen with it. Here you can see a trailer for the re-release, featuring that iconic John Carpenter score. If you have never seen the original Halloween, I suggest you do so this October..



Compass International Pictures, Trancas International Films, Screenvision, and HalloweenMovies.com are proud to present the one sheet for this October’s U.S. theatrical re-release of John Carpenter’s 1978 masterpiece, HALLOWEEN. The poster, designed by artist Austin Hinderliter, marks the return of THE SHAPE to cinema lobbies across the country, presenting the ultimate evil in shadow and autumnal oranges.

I liked Rob Zombie's film a lot better, although his second one sucked.

I just don't really see the point in re-releasing movies onto the big screen. Unless there's additional footage not on a directors cut on DVD

@indigobolt956 - I agree, the Rob Zombie remake is a far superior film but his follow up is utter shit!

The original. The one that defined the genre. Rob Zombies take was good. But he changed up how Michael moves. He made him more Aggressive. Carpenters Michael was more stealthy. Like a evil, psycho Solid Snake. The way he moves around without getting CAUGHT. Thats the Michael Myers I like. Quiet and Deadly.

The theme song still gives me chills after all these years.

Just think, this came out in a time when they didn't have nation wide release. The films went district to district and were picked up word of mouth and due to critical press. Halloween was lagging and things were looking bad then a couple of big name critics praised it and it took off. Made around 70 mil at the time. Course it was made for about 100,000 grand

This is the stupidest idea for a re-release ever. It'll bomb.

^ I agree!

Putting one the all time greatest horror films back in theaters in time for Halloween!? What were they thinking!???

^See you when the news arrives of it bombing harder than Green Lantern, Battleship and Oogiloves put together.

Michael Myers. Scariest psycho killer ever made. :)
Gave me nightmares when i was kid.

Didnt like Zombie´s version cause it it tried to humanize Michael and give him reasons. And almost every character was asshole you just wanted to die. Each with their own thou.

This might be the first Halloween I'll pay to see in theaters since H20.

Gotta love Carpenter.

This is the greatest horror movie of all time, more horror movies need to learn that they can be legitimately creepy and disturbing with out being gory and over the top

@Lokibane2012, you do realize that even if this movie only brings in 1 million dollars, it triples it's production budget. Did Green Lantern do that, LOL?

Would love to see this. I believe it's playing at one theater in my city. I used to watch this every Halloween day. Need to again this year, one way or another.

A simple explanation for Michael's killings is that he killed Judith, his older sister, because she neglected him. Maybe she was supposed to have taken him out trick or treating, and being a kid, possibly emotionally disturbed, stabbed her, not realizing the ramifications.

The following years of incarceration really screw him up, and leave him hating everyone for throwing him away and further neglecting him.

He breaks out, a socially undeveloped young man, He follows his instinct, not realizing, or not caring that society frowns upon stalking.

Anyone who stands as a threat must be killed, so he doesn't get incarcerated again. Maybe he's attracted to the three young women, but doesn't know what to do about it, only that they too must be silenced.

The remake was amazing. I absolutely HATE the original. It's not even a good movie, let alone a good horror movie.

@whoever said it, the black Xmas remake is even better than the original. That doesn't happen too often. Rob zombies Halloween gave micheal rhyme and reason which took the point of the movie right out of it.
