Blumhouse, the company that made some very popular horror movies, is teaming up with AMC Theatres to have the first Halfway to Halloween Film Festival.
The festival will last for five days, beginning on Friday, March 29, in more than 40 cities and 100 AMC movie theaters across the U.S. It will have five different old movies, with the main focus on the 13th anniversary of “Insidious” on April 1.
People who go to the Halfway to Halloween Film Festival can watch their favorite Blumhouse films for only $8 each. Additionally, they will have the chance to win prizes, see sneak peeks, and watch recorded messages from the directors and actors in the films. Tickets will be available for purchase on March 15 on AMCTheatres.com and the AMC app.
The films and their dates are: “Split” on Friday, March 29; “The Purge” on Saturday, March 30; “Ouija: Origin of Evil” on Sunday, March 31; “Insidious” on Monday, April 1 (its 13th anniversary); and “The Invisible Man” on Tuesday, April 2.th Jason Blum, Founder and CEO of Blumhouse, said that they wanted to have a fun, affordable, and slightly wicked night at the movies to celebrate horror fans in local communities all over the country. He also thanked AMC for making this idea happen in an official statement.
Elizabeth Frank, EVP Worldwide Programming and Chief Content Officer of AMC Theatres, said that Blumhouse films scare and entertain horror fans, and they are excited to bring back these favorites to the big screen in an official statement.
Cities like Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Hartford, Detroit, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New Orelans, New York, Philadelphia, Tampa, and Tulsa will be part of the Halfway to Halloween Film Festival.
In addition to being the 13th anniversary of “Insidious,” it's important to note that the movie was the first collaboration between Blumhouse and Wan’s Atomic Monster. The two companies are now merged, providing a streamlined nightmare-dispensing machine.
“Imaginary,” a film from Blumhouse, is currently in theaters. They also have “Speak No Evil” coming in September and, most excitingly, a new take on “Wolf Man” for Halloween.
“Insidious,” “The Invisible Man,” and “Split” are among the movies available.
