HALLOWEEN fans nationwide showed their unwavering appreciation for the iconic series over the years and we are overjoyed to have the opportunity to bring back such a well-received tradition.”

“The overwhelmingly positive reaction from fans old and new every year having the opportunity to see this iconic film on the big screen with an audience,” says Compass and Trancas’ Ryan Freimann, “coupled with the upcoming October release of director David Gordon Green’s new sequel, HALLOWEEN ENDS, makes us even more excited to continue the screenings of this legendary franchise that uplifts the Halloween spirit and brings fans together.”
