VOOM’S MONSTERS HD SLASHES INTO THE HOLIDAY SEASON WITH “THE HALLOWEEN BEFORE CHRISTMAS” MOVIE MARATHON

Tune into Monsters HD on December 24 at 6pm ET for
All Five HALLOWEEN Films Completely Re-mastered in High Definition

NEW YORK – Instead of battling the crowds for a last minute gift at the mall, stay home, start a fire and get into the holiday spirit with VOOM’s MONSTERS HD “The Halloween Before Christmas” movie marathon. Beginning Sunday, December 24 at 6pm ET, MONSTERS HD will play all five legendary HALLOWEEN films back to back and digitally re-mastered in high-definition.

The HALLOWEEN film franchise has been one of the most influential in horror movie history and made the Michael Myers character so well-known, that he has been routinely spoofed in comedies. Created by John Carpenter and Debra Hill back in 1978, the series spawned what would come to be known as the “Slasher” sub-genre of horror movies that dominated the 1980s. The HALLOWEEN tradition continues even today, as HALLOWEEN (2007) also known as Untitled Rob Zombie Halloween Project, directed by Rob Zombie, is in pre-production.

Films to Include:

Halloween (1978) directed by John Carpenter- Michael Myers has been in an institution since he was a young boy, after murdering his sister. Now he's escaped and is heading back home to terrorize the quiet community which still remembers him. Starring Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode.

Halloween II (1981) directed by Rick Rosenthal- It's the same night as the original Halloween. Michael Myers is around the neighborhood, after being gunned by Dr.Loomis six times. Now, he's in a hospital where the girl Laurie Strode was taken. And there's a reason why Michael is after her... Starring Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode.

Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) directed by Tommy Lee Wallace – his sequel has a plot that is unrelated to the earlier movies of the same name. In this horror story, a large Halloween mask making company has plans to kill millions of American children with deadly masks.

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) directed by Dwight H. Little– Following on from Halloween II, Michael Myers escapes from Richmond Mental Institute whilst being transferred, this time going after his niece, Jamie Lloyd. Doctor Loomis follows him back to Haddonfield, and attempts to stop him once and for all.

Halloween 5 (1989) directed by Dominique Othenin-Girard - It's one year since Halloween 4, and Michael survives being shot by the police. He continues his search for his niece, who is in a children’s' hospital.
