Original Halloween returns
Los Angeles - Horror-film fans with a taste for '70s-style slasher antics can indulge themselves next week when the original Halloween movie returns to American theatres for the first time in 27 years.
A digitally remastered, high-definition version of the 1978 film, which turned Jamie Lee Curtis into a star, will play on October 30 and 31 in 150 movie houses.
A new 20-minute featurette about Halloween, including interviews with original cast members and a look at the movie's impact on pop culture, will precede the screening.
Halloween, which spurred a spate of multi-sequel slasher films, tells the story of an escapee from a mental institution, Michael Myers, who goes on a murderous spree on Halloween night.
Seven sequels have followed. The eighth is on the way, to be written and directed by aptly named rocker Rob Zombie. Halloween 9 is expected to be released on October 19, 2007.
"I take the original film very seriously, and I want to make it terrifying again," said Zombie.
