Mike Flanaganmay be one of the best contemporary horror directors, but he hasn’t forgotten his roots. TheMidnight Massfilmmaker took toX(formerly Twitter) to encourage viewers to see one of his early films,Ouija: Origin of Evilin theaters. Flanagan has exploded in recent years due to his well-regarded adaptations ofStephen King’swork and celebrated original horror stories.
He regularly teams up with his wife,Kate Siegel, in limited series for Netflix, such asThe Haunting of Hill HouseandThe Fall of the House of Usher. Even so, Flanagan hasn’t gotten too much of an ego to ignore hisquality prequel to a bad horror film. He not only supports his early work, but encourages viewers to experience it on the big screen.
“Friendly reminder that OUIJA: ORIGIN OF EVIL will be back in theaters this Sunday night as part of @blumhouse’s and @AMCTheatres' #halfwaytohalloween festival. I’m really excited to see it on the big screen again.”
There is nothing quite like experiencing a genre film in a packed theater, especially watching a director whodoes horror better than anyone else. Watching horror in a theater full of audience members having a shared experience engenders community, as viewers laugh, cry, or scream at what they see. Films that have spectacle at their center are the best to see in a movie theater.
