Halloween scares in advance

Halloween is less than two months away but SM Cinema is already setting the theme with its promotion that features three movies that will give moviegoers the scare of their lives and a chance to access a newly opened horror house in the country.

SM Megamall Cinema 6 recently hosted the premiere of IT Chapter Two, a Stephen King movie that brings back The Losers’ Club members, now all adults, to the town Derry in Maine to face Pennywise, an evil clown that they last fought with 27 years ago.

IT Chapter Two features a cast led by James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain and Bill Hader under the direction of Andrés Muschietti. As the movie is close to three hours long, moviegoers must be ready to endure (or enjoy) the unusually long screening time, stock up on food and drinks and if one needs to go the rest room, don’t go alone. It’s that scary.

And to those who would want to reacquaint or get a background of this film, they can watch IT Chapter One that was released in 2017.

IT Chapter Two is the first of three movies in the Reel Thrill promo that will qualify 30 horror movie enthusiasts for two passes to Asylum Manila, a newly-opened haunted house attraction in Quezon City.

IT Chapter Two which opened last 4 September, Zombie Land Double Tap ( 23 October) and Sadako (30 October) will be shown at participating SM Cinema branches SM North EDSA, SM Mall of Asia, SM Megamall, SM Marikina, SM Fairview, SM Mateo, SM Sta. Mesa, SM San Lazaro and SM Manila.

In this promo, a minimum single receipt of P500 entitles customers to one raffle coupon. Single purchase receipts of P1,000 above entitles moviegoers with five raffle coupons.
