Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Now here's a piece of news we can all rally behind!

Thanks to Fathom Events, John Carpenter's seminal slasher joint, HALLOWEEN, is set to once again stalk the big screen in theaters across the U.S. on a special one-night event this October 29th. Be there at 7:30 sharp!

Here's the official press release for the event:

The horror classic "John Carpenter's Original Halloween" (1978) is returning to the big screen for a special one-night event on Thursday, October 29 at 7:30 p.m. local time. Fathom Events, in partnership with SpectiCast, will present this fan favorite in its entirety with an exclusive introduction by John Carpenter, providing insights on "Halloween" and how it has forever changed the horror genre in Hollywood.

Tickets for "John Carpenter's Original Halloween" can be purchased online by visiting www.FathomEvents.com, or at participating theater box offices.

Not sure about you, but this is one event I'm going to do my best to partake in. Full disclosure, for all the times I've seen HALLOWEEN, I've never seen it on the big-screen. All that changes this year on October 29th!
