Hey this sounds pretty frickin’ sweet…
get the cushion and hand sanitizer and party with the hot broad from “Trading Places” as Universal hosts a viewing party for the – not quite as good as the original Carpenter classic but still decent – “Halloween” reboot.
Here’s what our friends at the studio tell us :
To entertain and bring audiences together, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has organized weekly watch parties of some of their most iconic films. Every Saturday, starting May 16th, audiences can watch a Universal Pictures film along with special guests and hosts for fans around the world to share reactions and discuss their favorite scenes together on Twitter.
In order to join, simply follow the hosts on Twitter, buy or rent the weekend’s movie at any retailer, and press play at exactly 1pm PT / 4pm ET / 9pm BST! Select titles will also include a pre-show 15 minutes prior. Follow and use the designated hashtag for each title to participate and discuss with friends and other excited fans.
Okay, got it?
And “Halloween” is the first offering on the docket :
May 16th – Halloween hosted by Blumhouse with Director David Gordon Green, Jamie Lee Curtis and special guests
No one does horror quite like Blumhouse and Michael Myers. Join the production company that specializes in horror as they watch the return of Halloween alongside the film’s director David Gordon Green, Jamie Lee Curtis and special guests including: John Carpenter, Jason Blum, Judy Greer, James Jude Courtney and Nick Castle. Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode, who comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.
