The original Halloween trilogy also came back to Regal. John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1981), and Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) played Regal theaters on three straight nights, September 4, 5, and 6, presented by Halloween: The Game. AMC ran the same lineup on the same dates.
Update, November 7, 2026: Halloween (1978) was back in theaters again through November 5, and my list by state has the theaters and dates, with 168 Regal locations on it.
The three nights at Regal
Regal showed the films in release order. Friday, September 4 opened with Halloween (1978), the John Carpenter original that introduced Michael Myers. Saturday, September 5 continued with Halloween II (1981), which picks up on the same night the first film ends. Sunday, September 6 closed on Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982), the odd one out with no Michael Myers and a killer-mask plot all to itself.
Regal listed the screenings at 8 p.m. at participating locations, though showtimes varied by theater.
Tied to Halloween: The Game
Like the AMC run, the Regal screenings were presented by Halloween: The Game, the video game set for release September 8. The theatrical nights were one piece of a larger push around the game this fall, which also included a newly announced comic series.
Regal and AMC Dates
The three films played Regal theaters on September 4, 5, and 6, and the same trilogy played AMC on the same three nights. For more Michael Myers this season, see my guide to Michael Myers Halloween 2026 merchandise.
