Sure, we get our yearly influx of scary movie box office hits and busts, but only a handful of knife-wielding villains rise to the level of pop culture icons: you've got Norman Bates, Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Pennywise the Clown, Jack Torrance, and then there's Michael Myers. He traumatized a generation and now he's making a resurgence in a remake of the classic movie this fall. Don't worry though, we'll be screening the original movie in all its John Carpenter glory.
"Halloween" was a horror movie game changer and its inspired countless films since. It's low on graphic violence, but its suspenseful, psychological scares makes it all the more terrifying. It's still hailed as the best horror movie of all time.
It's one thing to make an iconic movie, and another to also have an iconic soundtrack. Just like those semitones in "Jaws" and the twinkling notes of the Exorcist theme, the music is enough to keep you awake at night.
Watching "Halloween" in a theater in the dark, with your friends, listening to that music is pretty much the ultimate Halloween experience.
There's no charge at the door so all you need is a few reais for pizza and popcorn snacking.
This event is not to be missed so don't forget to pick up a permission form in the iCommons to submit by October 23rd to the Upper School Office in order to attend.
