LikewiseTheater N ShibuyaTo begin screening in from October 24"Halloween" (2007)The original is a horror movie by John Carpenter's "Halloween" (1978).
『ハロウィン』(1978)は、『エルム街の悪夢』『13日の金曜日』と並び、1970〜80年代に人気を博したホラー映画の名作で、2002年までに8作の続編が公開されている。今回上映される『ハロウィン』(2007)は、デスメタル・バンド「ホワイト・ゾンビ」のシンガーでもあるロブ・ゾンビが監督を担当。大のホラー映画好きとして知られるロブ・ゾンビは、自身のミュージックビデオでも、全編『時計じかけのオレンジ』のパロディである『Never Gonna Stop』などホラーテイストの作品を発表してきた。2003年には、『悪魔のいけにえ』にオマージュを捧げた『マーダー・ライド・ショー』を監督。また、今回の『ハロウィン』(2007)では、殺人鬼マイケル・マイヤーズを担当する精神科医・ルーミス医師に、マルコム・マクダウェルを起用したことも注目である。マクダウェルは、『時計じかけのオレンジ』で狂人アレックスを怪演したことで有名だが、そんな彼が、まっとうな精神科医として殺人鬼マイヤーズを諭すというのは、皮肉めいていておもしろい。また本作のサウンド・トラックには、ブルー・オイスター･カルトやＫＩＳＳなど、1970年代にヘヴィメタル・ハードロックを作り上げてきたアーティストが選ばれ、ロブ・ゾンビの体験した70年代を、肌で感じることのできる構成となっている。
