Following an overwhelmingly successful run of summer cinema, Logan Crow and Lola’s Outdoor Retro Cinema are presenting John Carpenter’s terrifying classic, the original Halloween, in celebration of the upcoming spooky season.
A restored and remastered version of the original 1978 film will screen at Sunnyside Cemetery on October 18.
Crow, who recently put on cemetery screenings of movies like The Shining and Donnie Darko, said he was excited to bring Halloween to Long Beach.
“Halloween is often credited as the film that kicked off the late ’70s/early ’80s slasher-cinema craze, and that’s definitely fair, but it’s so much more than that,” he said. “To me, it’s an amazing exercise in expertly employing cinematography and score to create an ominous, palpable foreboding, a chill that takes hold early on, and only gets tighter and tighter, before the bloodletting in the final act.”
Halloween screens at Sunnyside Cemetery, located at 1095 East Willow Street, on Oct. 18 at 8PM. Tickets are available for $11.49 by clicking here.
