“Was that the boogeyman?”
“As a matter of fact, it was.”
That simple exchange of dialogue, which flashed across movie screens in 1978, heralded a revolution. With the release of John Carpenter’s HALLOWEEN, not only was the modern horror film created, but an iconic franchise that still lives to this day. Anchor Bay Entertainment, the leading distributor in horror, celebrates the 35th anniversary of the original masterpiece that started it all with the HALLOWEEN 35TH ANNIVERSARY Blu-ray™ release.
But Anchor Bay’s House of Horrors doesn’t end with Michael Myers. Please check out the below titles from Anchor Bay Entertainment to help fill your Halloween with enough screams and chills to last until Halloween 2014!
