There are people like me who didn't sleep for days in the fall of 1978 after seeing John Carpenter's horror classic Halloween.

We are called the olds, and movie marketers don't give a crap about us because we're not multiplex monkeys anymore. But that's not exactly true of the promotion for a one-week big-screen showing late next month of Halloween to celebrate the October holiday and the movie's 35th anniversary.
