While we broke news of the dates for this year’s Halloween: 45 Years of Terror franchise reunion on our YouTube channel back in November, the event has now been officially announced today to be taking place this Sept. 29 through Oct. 1, once again in Pasadena, California, where the original 1978 classic movie was filmed and the legend of Michael Myers began.

According to the official announcement posted to social media: Every five years since 2003, fans from the Halloween franchise have traveled across the globe to celebrate one of the most endearing, imposing, and enduring horror movie franchises of all time. John Carpenter’s Halloween premiered in cinemas and on drive-in screens 45 years ago, changing the landscape of horror cinema forever. The movie served as the launching pad for a series of films that would span thirteen entries to date… What better time than now to start building hype for 45 Years of Terror!?

That’s right! Mark your calendars! Halloween: 45 Years of Terror is set to return to Pasadena, California, from September 29th through October 1st, 2023!

For this special anniversary convention event, the Producer of the Halloween Franchise, Trancas International Films, is once again teaming up with Sean Clark (who helped organize the Halloween conventions with the 25th anniversary in 2003, as well as the 30th (2008), 35th (2013), and 40th (2018).

HorrorHound Ltd. also returns after having helped put on the successful H40 event in 2018. HorrorHound Ltd. are responsible for the Midwest events, HorrorHound Weekend, which aim to deliver what is sure to be the largest Halloween convention to date. Celebrity guests (including directors, stars, and crew) from all thirteen Halloween films are set to be in attendance as H45 takes over the Pasadena Convention Center.

We expect the largest selection of vendors any prior “Terror” convention has provided, including notable Halloween licensees and some of the most notable artists in the ever-growing gallery scene – there will be a number of not-to-be-missed events, including the highly anticipated return of the Horror’s Hallowed Grounds filming location tour, galleries, exciting social media photo displays, cast Q&As, lots of exclusive H45 and Halloween merchandise offerings, and professional photo opportunities.

Make sure you bookmark the official website – www.Halloween45.com – as the page will soon begin to populate with guest, artist, and vendor reveals, programming information, and additional surprises the promoters are hard at work finalizing. Not to mention discount Hotel block options (yet to be launched). And, of course, ticket launch information and details regarding new and exciting ticket package opportunities.

In addition to the two-day fan convention portion of the event, where attendees can meet their favorite cast members from all 13 Halloween movies on Saturday and Sunday, the 45th anniversary weekend will kickoff with the Horror’s Hallowed Grounds tour of various filming sites from the films on Friday.

Halloween: 45 Years of Terror will take place Sept. 29-Oct. 1 at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California. Tickets sales have not yet opened as of this writing, but will eventually be available at Halloween45.com.
