**Why it matters:** The extended cut was re-edited for a longer TV broadcast and includes new scenes that most fans will never have seen before, offering a unique opportunity for classic horror enthusiasts.

**The details:** Horror fans are invited to arrive at the cinema's on-site bar from 6pm to enjoy the spooky atmosphere, Halloween-inspired cocktails and live music from local singer-songwriter Phil Jackson before the film begins at 7:30pm.

**What they're saying:** Dan Champion, managing director of [King Street Cinema](https://www.ipswich.co.uk/tag/king-street-cinema/), said: "This rare, extended cut of Halloween is actually the version that was re-edited for a longer TV broadcast, and is very rarely shown on the big screen. It includes new scenes that fans will likely never have seen before, so it really is a unique opportunity, especially for any classic horror fans out there."

**For context:** The special Halloween screening is sponsored by [Humber Doucy Brewing Company](https://www.ipswich.co.uk/tag/humber-doucy-brewing-company/) and forms part of King Street Cinema's '50 Years in the Making' initiative, which honours half a century of independent cinema in Ipswich.

**The bottom line:** Standard tickets cost £9.50, or £8.50 for King Street Cinema members, and fancy dress is encouraged. Visit kingstreetcinema.co.uk for more details.
