frightening favorites, haunting theaters this
October
DENVER, Sept. 21,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Films that have been created to
both horrify and haunt us have created some of the most iconic and
seminal characters in American literature, entertainment, and pop
culture.
And, thanks to Fathom Events' ongoing partnerships with American
Zoetrope and Columbia Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Universal
Pictures and National Theater Live these scary selections will be
returning to the big screen in theaters nationwide, just in
time for Halloween.
Returning to theaters October 1,
in partnership with Universal Pictures, is a double feature of
1932's The Mummy and 1935's The Bride of
Frankenstein – both starring legendary horror icon Boris
Karloff, who has been memorialized on U.S. postage stamps and no
less than two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The Bride of Frankenstein, featuring villainous Dr.
Pretorius' immortal line "To a new world of gods and monsters," is
widely considered the career masterpiece of acclaimed director
James Whale; in 1998, it was
selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United
States National Film Registry.
Get ready to scream again when Fathom Events and Paramount
present 25th Anniversary screenings of SCREAM 2 on
October 9 and 10. Directed by
Wes Craven and written by
Kevin Williamson, the film is the
killer follow-up to the original SCREAM with the return of
Ghostface in a horror sequel that earned $172.4 million at the box office and
overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics.
On October 25, Fathom Events
brings back National Theater Live's production of
Frankenstein, starring Benedict
Cumberbatch as the Creature and Jonny Lee Miller as Victor Frankenstein. Captured live on
stage in 2011, this thrilling, sold-out production became an
international sensation, experienced by almost 1 million people in
cinemas around the world.
Next up is Bram Stoker's
Dracula, celebrating its 30th anniversary on
October 23 and 27.
This classic horror film, directed by Academy
Award®-winner Francis Ford Coppola
with a screenplay by James V. Hart
opened at number one, setting a November record in 1992 of more
than $30 million. The film would go
on to win three Academy Awards® and grossed more than $215 million worldwide.
Emerging from the depths of the Amazon – and the Universal
Pictures vault -- on October 29 is
1954's Creature from the Black Lagoon, accompanied by 1943's
technicolor Universal extravaganza Phantom of the Opera,
starring Claude Rains ("Invisible
Man"). Many fans consider the Creature a
forerunner to the shark in "Jaws" and countless other aquatic
terrors; the story of the Phantom has endured to this day on stage
and screen.
