Since we got the October 30th date at The Adams Ave Theater this year, we figured we’d go all out and throw what we’d argue is the craziest Halloween Film Party of all time (in San Diego at least). What should we show? It was really a no brainer. How about the ultimate 80s spooky autumn film? No film has captured the aura of Halloween season during this nostalgic-drenched era better in our eyes, and if you’ve somehow made it through your life without ever seeing it, well, you’ve got a real opportunity coming up. On October 30th, join us, along with our co-presenter Verbatim Books, as we bring STEPHEN KING’S SILVER BULLET back to the big screen for our First Ever Halloween Bash, with the director of the film, Dan Attias, joining us live for a post-film discussion.

In the small town of Tarker’s Mills, Maine, brutal killings start to plague the tight knit community. A young boy named Marty Coslaw (Corey Haim) is convinced that the murders are the doing of a werewolf, and with the help of his Uncle Red (Gary Busey), they investigate the crimes.

STEPHEN KING’S SILVER BULLET is the rare horror film that’s just as concerned with creating a sense of wonder and enchantment as it is with delivering thrills. And that’s why it’s left such a lasting imprint on us over the years. Come help us welcome Mr. Attias to the stage post-film to hear how the film was created, what it was like on set, and what the process was like to collaborate with Stephen King and legendary producer Dino De Laurentiis. Get your questions ready, because we’re taking questions from the crowd after the Q&A.

And the fun doesn’t stop there. Our co-presenter, Verbatim Books, will be in the building with a haunted book table for you to browse through, featuring all the Stephen King classics, plus Mr. Attias’s book Directing Great Television: Inside TV’s New Golden Age. Mr. Attias will be signing copies of the book before and after the show.

We’ve also got trick or treat candy to give away to everyone who shows up. Pro tip: You might get a little extra more if you come dressed to impress in your best Halloween costume. We’ll do a contest to honor the best costumes of the night on stage before the film starts too.

On October 30th, it’s full moon season at Popcorn Reef. Get ready for a good one.
