Every five years since 2003, fans from the Halloween franchise have traveled across the globe to celebrate one of the most endearing, imposing, and enduring horror movie franchises of all time. John Carpenter’s Halloween premiered in cinemas and on drive-in screens 45 years ago, changing the landscape of horror cinema forever.
The movie served as the launching pad for a series of films that would span thirteen entries to date. In fact, earlier this month, the original Halloween stars Jamie Lee Curtis (“Laurie Strode”), Nick Castle (“The Shape, Michael Myers”), and co-creator John Carpenter (the original film’s director and composer), returned to theaters once again for HALLOWEEN ENDS! What better time than now to start building hype for 45 Years of Terror!?
That’s right! Mark your calendars! Halloween: 45 Years of Terror is set to return to Pasadena, California, from September 29th through October 1st, 2023!
For this special anniversary convention event, the Producer of the Halloween Franchise, Trancas International Films, is once again teaming up with Sean Clark (who helped organize the Halloween conventions with the 25th anniversary in 2003, as well as the 30th (2008), 35th (2013), and 40th (2018).
HorrorHound Ltd. also returns after having helped put on the successful H40 event in 2018. HorrorHound Ltd. are responsible for the Midwest events, HorrorHound Weekend, which aim to deliver what is sure to be the largest Halloween convention to date. Celebrity guests (including directors, stars, and crew) from all thirteen Halloween films are set to be in attendance as H45 takes over the Pasadena Convention Center. We expect the largest selection of vendors any prior “Terror” convention has provided, including notable Halloween licensees and some of the most notable artists in the ever-growing gallery scene – there will be a number of not-to-be-missed events, including the highly anticipated return of the Horror’s Hallowed Grounds filming location tour, galleries, exciting social media photo displays, cast Q&As, lots of exclusive H45 and Halloween merchandise offerings, and professional photo opportunities.
