In celebration of today’s Early Access release of Halloween: The Game (read our review), the original three Halloween movies return to Regal theaters beginning tonight, September 4.
For starters, John Carpenter’s original slasher classic is being re-released into 294 Regal theaters nationwide tonight, spanning 39 states and 91 markets. Here’s the full weekend lineup…
- Halloween (1978) — September 4
- Halloween II (1981) — September 5
- Halloween III: Season of the Witch — September 6
In the original classic, Michael Myers has spent the last 15 years locked away inside a sanitarium under the care of child psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis after brutally killing his sister, Judith. On the night of October 30, 1978, Myers escapes and makes his way back to Haddonfield — the night HE came home — turning a night of tricks and treats into something much more sinister for three young women, including Laurie Strode, the star-making role for Jamie Lee Curtis.
And then in Halloween II, while Dr. Loomis hunts for Michael Myers, a traumatized Laurie is rushed to Haddonfield Memorial Hospital, and The Shape is not far behind her.
Finally in Halloween III, kids all over America want Silver Shamrock masks for Halloween. Doctor Daniel Challis seeks to uncover a plot by Silver Shamrock owner Conal Cochran.
While it’s not uncommon for Halloween to play in theaters during spooky season, it’s not very often you get to experience Halloween III on the big screen. Don’t miss this opportunity!
Tickets for the Labor Day Weekend Halloween screening event are on sale now at regmovies.com and via the Regal app. A complete list of the 294 participating Regal locations is HERE.
“There is nothing like watching Halloween the way it was meant to be seen, in a theatre, in the dark, on the big screen,” said Malek Akkad, CEO of Trancas International Films. “Nearly fifty years later, Michael Myers still brings audiences back to Haddonfield. Pairing this screening event with the launch of Halloween: The Game gives fans a whole weekend to celebrate the original film that started it all.”
“Halloween is the reason we do horror,” said Charles Brugardt, CEO at IllFonic. “Bringing the original 1978 film back to nearly 300 theaters the same week players can finally step into Michael Myers’ mask themselves felt like the perfect way to celebrate everything this franchise means to fans.”
Halloween: The Game is available for early access NOW and launches wide on September 8 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Store.
