Halloween, Halloween 4 & Halloween 5 Coming to Drive-In Theatres

Halloween, Halloween 4 & Halloween 5 Coming to Drive-In Theatres

From now through October 31, John Carpenter’s Halloween – along with Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers – is returning to drive-in theatres.

Speaking with HalloweenMovies.com, Halloween (2018) and Halloween Kills producer Ryan Freimann offered of the news, “Trancas International Films and Compass International Pictures have partnered with CineLife Entertainment in order to bring Halloween to audiences safely during this time of pandemic, and drive-in theater owners seem excited to be booking it as the Halloween season is right around the corner.”

For the 2020 drive-in engagement, the digital print of Halloween has been restored and remastered under the supervision of cinematographer Dean Cundey. Much like it did in 1978, the film’s rollout has started small and will grow throughout the upcoming weeks.

Locations showing John Carpenter’s Halloween this week include include Hummel’s Drive-In in Winchester, Indiana, as well as EVO Entertainment locations in both San Antonio and Austin, Texas on July 31.

Additional drive-ins also showing Halloween include ones in Nashville, Tennessee (Montana Drive-in), Buffalo, New York (Kane Family Drive-in), Hartford and New Haven, Connecticut (Pleasant Valley Drive-in) and Westtown, New York (Warwick Drive-in).

Wanna’ see Michael Myers at your own local drive-in? It’s easy! Reach out to them and let them know that they can book Halloween by visiting CineLife Entertainment’s website at cinelifeentertainment.com.


Body Count Page Now Live

Body Count Page Now Live

I’ve spent the last two days going through the films, taking different captures of the deaths and bodies, tracking down applicable photos when needed and then editing them all, but I’m pleased to say the body count page is now live! It’ll be updated with the 2018 film and photos of the alternate & deleted deaths sometime this evening or tomorrow morning, but the first ten films are there otherwise.

Photos of the ‘10.31.78’ VHS Release of Halloween

Photos of the ‘10.31.78’ VHS Release of Halloween

While putting together the home video history page for the original Halloween, I mentioned that – though outdated by today’s technology and all of the subsequent special features on it – the “10.31.78” 2-tape VHS set of the original Halloween was one of my favourite releases of the film on home media.

Perhaps it’s that it was my first time ever getting something that was marketed as a “limited edition,” or it’s the subtle touch of having the orange VHS tapes, but this has been one of my more prized items in my Halloween collection. In fact, other than a publicity photo of Jamie Lee Curtis that seems to have fallen out of the packaging over the years, my set is in practically mint condition – minus being opened years ago to watch the tapes on occasion.

Take a look at some of photos I’ve taken of the release below. This post will also be linked to the home media page for easy access later on.


Home Video Release History Added for Halloween & Halloween II

Home Video Release History Added for Halloween & Halloween II

There’s just a rather small update for the site today, but one that will give an idea of what’s coming to the rest of the film pages. I’ve created detailed, in depth pages for the home video releases that Halloween and Halloween II have had since their initial release.

Eventually, I’ll be adding some photos of the different releases to the pages, but that’s for later on down the road. Until then, take a look at the pages and let me know what you think.
