Happy 72nd Birthday to The Master!

by

From his 1978 groundbreaking masterpiece Halloween, a film which single-handedly introduced the slasher genre to general audiences worldwide (while simultaneously going on to become one of the most successful independent films of all time), to his early classic features The Fog, Escape From New York, The Thing and Christine (and many more), John Carpenter’s unique and subversive work as a filmmaker has been instrumental in defining genre cinema as we know it.

As for his efforts as a musician and composer, he’s further created some of the most iconic melodies ever written for the screen (you’re humming the “Halloween Theme” right now, aren’t you?) and he continues to do so to this day, as evidenced by his recent “Lost Themes” albums and live performances, and his score for Halloween (2018), among others.

In celebration of the man and his incredible and still growing body of work, everyone here at HalloweenMovies.com would like to wish Mr. Carpenter a very happy 72nd birthday!

John Carpenter’s horror classic, 1978’s Halloween, returns to select theaters beginning September 27th via CineLife Entertainment and Compass International Pictures, and tickets are now on sale!

To purchase tickets (and for theaters, dates and show times) visit CineLife Entertainment here.

From the press release:

John Carpenter’s Horror Classic Halloween Returns To Select Theaters Nationwide Beginning September 27th

LOS ANGELES, September 10, 2019 – CineLife Entertainment®, the event cinema division of Spotlight Cinema Networks, teams up with Compass International Pictures to bring the seminal 1978 original classic John Carpenter’s Halloween back to select theatres across North America beginning September 27th.

In the film, Michael Myers has spent the last 15 years locked away inside a sanitarium under the care of child psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis after brutally murdering his sister when he was 6-years old. On October 30, 1978, Myers escapes and makes his way back home to Haddonfield, Illinois, turning a night of tricks and treats into something much more sinister for the locals, including Laurie Strode, the star-making role for Jamie Lee Curtis. Watch the trailer here:

John Carpenter’s Halloween premiered in cinemas and on drive-in screens on October 25, 1978, changing the landscape of horror cinema. It stunned audiences worldwide and has since inspired countless films in the genre. In 2006, it was selected by the Library of Congress as one of a select few films to be preserved in the U.S. National Film Registry for its cultural significance.

“I’m thrilled to have the original make its way back into theatres,” says director John Carpenter.

Fans will be treated to view big screen presentations of the restored and remastered digital print, created under the supervision of the world-renowned cinematographer, Dean Cundey. Tickets go on sale September 10th.

“We are excited to bring the most prominent and enduring horror film back to cinema screens giving new and old fans a slasher film treat they’ll never forget,” said Bernadette McCabe, Executive Vice President, CineLife Entertainment.
