To get into the spirit this Halloween season, some of the latest horror blockbusters – as well as creepy classics and enchanting family favourites – will be heading to the big screen at Vue Preston.
A number of frightfully fun blockbusters make their debut this month, including Smile 2, the follow-up to the horror hit of 2022. The sinister sequel follows a global pop sensation, who begins experiencing increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events revolving around smiling figures.
There’s also eerie family drama The Front Room, a new take on Stephen King’s iconic horror tale Salem’s Lot, and the return of cult favourite Art the Clown, who is causing havoc in Terrifier 3.
The trick and treats don’t stop there, with Vue delivering Halloween fun perfect for all the family, including stop-motion animated classic The Nightmare Before Christmas and the return of feel-good classic Ghostbusters, celebrating its 40th anniversary.
Other Halloween favourites making their way back include cult classic Carrie, which is fully remastered in 4K, and A Nightmare on Elm Street, which marks the 40th anniversary since iconic slasher Freddie Krueger first appeared on the big screen.
Graham Royston, General Manager at Vue Preston, said: “This Halloween, we’re thrilled to be able to put on a raft of new and classic films for our scary and spooky film-lovers.
“From family-friendly comedy horrors to cult favourites, we know how gripping scary films can be and want to provide the very best big screen experience for people to enjoy every laugh and every scare this October.”
