Overview

  • Trancas International Films and CineLife Entertainment announced a rollout in more than 80 U.S. markets with nearly 400 showings, with additional locations added daily.
  • The program features John Carpenter’s 1978 Halloween alongside Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers.
  • Select cities begin screenings as early as September 19, with engagements continuing through October.
  • Trancas CEO Malek Akkad and CineLife executive Bernadette McCabe emphasized that the films are best experienced in theaters and positioned the return as a seasonal celebration.
  • Trade coverage notes that Halloween 4 and 5 were independently produced, which helps explain their frequent pairing with the original for re-releases.
