See ‘Halloween’ on the BIG screen
Usually when a movie is playing in “select cities,” the Middletown/Dayton area is not among them. I was thrilled to learn of an exception today.
The 1978 classic “Halloween,” which gets my vote as the best slasher film of all time will play on Oct. 30 and Oct. 31 (natch) at Regal Hollywood 20 in Beavercreek. Ticket and event info are here.
The screening will include a featurette with interviews of the original cast, plus Rob Zombie, who is working on his own remake that will come out next year. Yes, I’m still leery about Mr. Zombie getting his hands on this material, but since he did have the good taste to appear on TCM as part of their “Underground” series this month, I will give him a chance, however reluctantly.
If “Halloween” is a bit much for you, there’s also the new 3D reissue of Tim Burton’s “Nightmare Before Christmas.” Be prepared for crowds — the movie did phenomenal business this past weekend.
Pardon me while scary piano-based movie themes play in my head (and yours too, I’d wager.)
