If this idea sparks an interest and you live in Los Angeles, you can meet one of the masters of horror during a special 35mm screening of Halloween on Saturday, October 27, at the New Beverly Cinema during the first-ever Debra Hill Film Festival (October 26-27).
The tickets are pricey, but it’s for a great cause as the proceeds will fund the Debra Hill Fellowship, which is awarded annually to a young producer graduating from an accredited graduate film program with a producing-specific curriculum. If you don’t know, Debra Hill was firmly entrenched in the Halloween franchise, and she wrote the first film’s screenplay.
John Carpenter’s Halloween is considered by many critics, including us, the first slasher film ever produced. The inspirational film was itself inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, who, by the way, has a biopic titled Hitchcock that will premiere next month. If you need no more persuading to attend this special screening of Halloween, below are two ticket levels for this event with the scheduled play times.
