This Halloween our favorite horror host, Dr. Diabolic, is bringing John Carpenter’s terrifying classic, Halloween, back to the big screen. The 1978 slasher flick will be playing at the Phoenix Art Museum’s Whiteman Hall at 7 PM on Halloween night, October 31. Tickets to the screening will be available at the entrance to Whiteman Hall and online at BrownPaperTickets.com
Prior to the screening will be a Halloween Costume Contest where the winner will receive a cash prize. Admission to the art museum is complimentary.
From the official press release:
This fall, Compass International Pictures, Trancas International Films, and Screenvision turn back the clock to October 1978 in the sleepy town of Haddonfield, Illinois for John Carpenter’s immortal classic, Halloween. On October 31, the original genre-defining horror masterpiece graces the big screen once again and will be presented in a striking new HD transfer and 5.1 audio.
Michael Myers has spent the last 15 years locked away inside a sanitarium under the care of child psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis. On October 30, 1978, Myers escapes and makes his way back home to Haddonfield, turning a night of tricks and treats into something much more sinister for three young women. Dr. Loomis is their only hope, but will be find his shadow-dwelling patient in time?

This presentation of Halloween will include an exclusive documentary short written and directed by Fangoria’s Justin Beahm, You Can’t Kill The Boogeyman: 35 Years of Halloween, focusing on the undeniable impact the film, and series, has had on culture and the genre.
If for some bizarre reason you have not seen this film that is not only one of the best horror movies ever made, but simply one of the best movies of any genre to ever grace the silver screen, I highly suggest you take full advantage of this opportunity. It’s not often you get the chance to have your first viewing over a film that is over 30 years old be on the big screen. Don’t miss out.
Plus, you get to see Dr. Diabolic and that’s always fun.
