Fans of the series will no doubt recognize this lineup from past years; in fact, the print of Halloween is the one that Dean Cundey remastered and restored a couple of years ago. Nonetheless, it’s always nice to see The Shape on the silver screen.
And the best part is you don’t even have to wait. Already, several locations are beginning to roll out the films, from the Midwest to the Northeast to even parts of Texas. Click here for a full list of theaters, and if you don’t see yours, request it!
