Film spoilers: many hate them, while others actively seek them out. Being lifelong film fans ourselves here at Trancas International Films, we can relate. Some of us here can even recall the days before the internet, in which Halloween fans experienced the latest entry with little knowledge of the film’s narrative, other than what had possibly been gleaned from the flick’s trailer, television and radio ad spots, or set visit within the pages of Fangoria magazine.
So with Halloween Kills in production, and the start of Halloween Ends right around the corner, how do we balance both, in order to deliver an exciting and unspoiled cinematic experience for the fans who’d like it, but also satisfy the fans hungry for information? It’s a bit of a conundrum, and while Trancas won’t oversee in entirety either films’ marketing rollouts (amazing distributor Universal Pictures will be handling that, along with input from producing partners Blumhouse and Miramax, as they did with last year’s Halloween), we do also feel that we have some responsibility to you, the fans, many of who have been with us since the very beginning, when Michael first came home in 1978 (and thank you sincerely for continuing on this bloody journey with us).
So what’s our approach? Here at HalloweenMovies.com, we’ll stay as spoiler free as possible, and while we’ll certainly be providing you behind-the-scenes peeks and more from both films (and exclusive info as it comes in), those peeks will hopefully be enough just to whet your appetite, but not to sate it.
Because after all, in our estimation, there’s nothing like the feeling of sitting down in a theater, a bag of popcorn in one hand and a Coke in the other as the house lights go down and the screen begins to flicker a story unknown. Stories of shock, fear and fright, and stories we would never dream of spoiling.
