Summary

[edit]

For use in Halloween (1978 film)

Newspaper ad in The Village Voice, Nov, 6, 1978, page 72.

Because of scarcity in the release record of this independently released film, and the rarity of reviews upon its original city-by-city, platformed release, the text of this advertisement ("Held over! 2nd week of horror!) is the sole way of determining even approximately when the movie first played in New York City,

(Even the movie's premiere city, Kansas City, Missouri or Kansas City, Kansas, on Oct. 25, 1978, is uncertain.)

The Village Voice review is from a weekly paper, and does not give the date of when the film opened in New York. As notes in one of the footnotes, the text of this review is, as of present, the ONLY way to determine approximately when the movie premiered in NYC.

There is no free alternative for this information. This is a low-resolution image

The NYC release date of an historically significant movie is critical knowledge in a film's distribution history.
