Halloween Kills Added to 57th Festival
We're thrilled (and terrified) to kickoff October announcing HALLOWEEN KILLS as our After Dark Opening Night!
Michael Myers is once again back hunting Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) through Haddonfield, Illinois, but this time Laurie has gathered a vigilante mob of fellow survivors to stop Michael, once and for all. John Carpenter's original Halloween screened at the Festival in 1978, and now Michael Myers is back for the 57th Chicago International Film Festival!
Get tickets now for the Chicago premiere of Halloween Kills on 10/13, and come dressed for Halloween to celebrate the season for Opening Night!
