So who is going to see Halloween this Halloween

[DjfunkmasterG]

It is being re-released two nights only.

Is there a link to a page that lists the locations it will be showing? I'd like to go.

[LouCipherr]

HELL YES!! I will be there, no question. I was 7 when it was released in the theatres, there's no way in hell i'm missing this opportunity. I'll be going to see it Monday night.

What cody said.....I'm not too big on the "Halloween" series, myself. I am looking forward to Rob Zombie's remake, though.

[LouCipherr]

Well, to be honest, I HATE the series, but I think the first was a masterpiece for it's time and I still enjoy the hell out of it today. As far as I'm concerned, Halloween consists of: Halloween Halloween II Halloween H20 All the other movies were complete sh*t (and H20 wasn't that great, but at least they brought back my woman, Jamie Lee Curtis), and as MZ would say - and I quote - they "choke copiously on the amount of balls they suck" I, like bassman, eagerly await Rob Zombie's take on Halloween. I have faith in him. I just hope he does the film justice.

Obviously won't be seeing it in cinemas, but I have been thinking of watching it on DVD again lately. Been watching Slumber Party Massacre 2 and 3 in bits before I go to bed over this past week or so (taped from off Zone Horror, have the first on DVD you see). So with watching those I'm starting to hanker for a real slasher film, and being the season (albeit a season only recognised in Britain by supermarkets and little bastard teenagers out for free money) I thought I'd whack it in the old duh-vuh-duh player. Lou - lovin' the quote-age, hehe, and aye - lookin' forward to seeing RZ's take on it. For me there's only Halloween 1 and 2, the others are utter shiv (to quote MikePizzOff).

Already got my tickets. While I have issues with the sequels, the original was great (Assault on Precinct 13 is still my fav Carpenter though), and was well made. To me the only one's worth watching are 1,2,4, and H20.

While I'm thinking about "Halloween".... Earlier, I read that Rob Zombie will be spilling ALOT of detials about what he's doing with his "Halloween" tonight on the *gulp*......MTV channels. It's going to be on some show called "Overdrive". The article wasn't too clear as to what time or time zone but it's going to be between 7:30 and 10:00. I don't know if I can handle MTV long enough to get the low-down.....but I might try. Then again, I know it will be on the web, tomorrow...

I always have the first two Halloween movies in my disc tray on the 31st. A sort of religion for me really. I also watch The Thing and NOTLD because thats what the characters are watching on the television. Sad I know but hey, I'm a loser!

[LouCipherr]

Well, went to go see it last night. WOW. I was 7 when the movie originally came out in 1978, so I never got a chance to see what I consider to be my absolute favorite horror movie of all time on the big screen. Well, that changed last night. When we got to the theatre (10 minutes before showtime), we got our tickets and hit the concession stand. A few sodas and reese's cups later, I was heading to the theatre where it was being shown - but realized there was not ONE single adverstisement, poster, NOTHING showing or letting people know the movie was playing there. I figured the theatre would be empty. We walked in, turned the corner and HOLY CRAP was the theatre packed with people! I was shocked! It must've been damn close to being sold out, save maybe 8-10 seats total in the theatre that weren't taken (an it holds what, maybe 200 people? I dunno the capacity, but there were LOTS of people there). As far as the movie itself - it looked great on the big screen, however, whoever mastered the movie in 5.1 surround wasted their time. There was only one instance in this movie where I could actually tell it was in stereo. The idea that putting Halloween in 5.1 surround was a bad idea considering the original release was mastered mono. go figure. Regardless, Halloween on the big screen was even more entertaining than I thought it would be. If you get a chance to go see this, do it! It could very well be your last chance to see this classic in its full glory. LC **edited to say - there was a nice little featurette at the beginning called "Halloween: The Shape of Fear" that featured PJ Soles, Nancy Loomis, Rob Zombie and a few others. It was depressing to see that many of the people involved in the first halloween died in 2005 with the exception of Pleasance, who died in 1995.

I watched Halloween on DVD the other day, a fantastic movie so it is. Then I skipped to the new scenes in the TV version on the other disc ... damn, they really were filler huh? Long, pregnant pauses of silence with people looking at each other before saying basically nothing. Tonight I'll probably just watch Top Gear ... but I was toying with the idea of watching The Thing (Carpenter) tonight ... but if I get my computer back today (somehow I doubt it ) then I'd be upstairs spunking all over it with joy at getting it back ... I've been feeling a growing need to play Call of Duty 2 again for some reason. *sigh*

[Adrenochrome]

Not ONE theater is playing it here!! But, we did watch it in the last week (or so) on DVD - (the gal had never seen it! Very cool sitting in the dark watching her jump for the first time at a few key scenes)

[LouCipherr]

Good idea, MZ - I think I will celebrate tonight with a viewing of The Thing. one of my favorite lines: Clark: "I dunno what the hell's in there, but it's weird and pissed off"

[MinionZombie]

The Thing - classic Carpenter. The movie still spooks me, the slowly ratcheting tension builds up un-noticed until you're wrapped up in the story with the characters themselves, you - like them - are trapped with the enemy. Such a good movie.
