It’s been almost half a century since John Carpenter’s classic slasher Halloween first graced theater screens. In that time, the franchise has spawned 13 films and countless imitators.
Its franchise producers, Trancas International Films are celebrating this milestone with the upcoming Halloween: 45 Years of Terror Convention.
To be held from September 29th to October 1st in Pasadena, the convention is set to be the ultimate celebration of this iconic franchise’s 45 years of terror.
The event is being organized by Trancas in collaboration with Horror’s Hallowed Grounds host and Convention All Stars owner Sean Clark, who has previously helped Trancas organize conventions for the franchise’s 25th, 30th, 35th, and 40th anniversaries. HorrorHound Ltd., the company behind the HorrorHound Weekend conventions, is also involved.
The organizers have promised an impressive lineup of celebrity guests, including directors, stars, and crew from all 13 films in the franchise
Trancas said in the press release that visitors can look forward to vendors offering exclusive items, Q&A sessions, social media photo displays, galleries, the return of the Horror’s Hallowed Grounds filming location tour, and professional photo opportunities. There will also be plenty of discounts available on hotels and ticket packages, so be sure to keep an eye out for more information, the release stated.
“We expect the largest selection of vendors any Terror convention has provided, including notable Halloween licensees and some of the most notable artists in the ever-growing gallery scene – there will be a number of not-to-be-missed events, including the highly anticipated return of the Horror’s Hallowed Grounds filming location tour, galleries, exciting social media photo displays, cast Q&As, lots of exclusive H45 and Halloween merchandise offerings, and professional photo opportunities,” according to the press release.
If you’re a fan of the Halloween franchise and have been to any of the previous anniversary conventions, then surely you won’t want to miss out on this upcoming celebration. And if you haven’t, then perhaps this is the perfect opportunity to get a glimpse into the world of Michael Myers and the Halloween series.
With all this excitement, one can’t help but wonder if another Halloween sequel is on the horizon. Will Michael Myers return to terrorize audiences once again? Only time will tell.
But for now, fans can revel in the celebration of the franchise that started it all.
