So it’s two months early.
With director Rob Zombie’s “Halloween” remake opening today in theaters, VOOM’s Monsters HD channel is running the 1978 original that made Jamie Lee Curtis a star, in high-def, of course, tonight at 11 p.m. (The trailer is playing on the Monsters HD home page.)
It’s followed at 12:30 a.m. by Curtis’ 1981 sequel “Halloween II,” and then “Halloween 3: Season of the Witch” (2:05 a.m.), “Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers” (3:45 a.m.) and “Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers” (5:15 a.m.).
Rob Zombie has a regular TV gig, too, hosting TCM’s Underground showcase of weird, wild and warped flicks late every Friday night. It’s actually on hiatus for August’s Summer With the Stars event, but returns late Sept. 7 with the young Francis Coppola’s 1963 shocker “Dementia 13” (2 a.m.), followed by William Castle’s 1961 “Homicidal” (3:30 a.m.).
