Your spooky marathon party just got a top-notch RSVP: local film legend Robert Rodriguez. The Machete director swaps blades to present the chef’s-knife-wielding Halloween, where Michael Myers slashes through a poor Illinois town after escaping a sanitarium. Rodriguez shares behind-the-scenes stories from the classic’s director, John Carpenter. To top it all off, viewers get not one, but two good scares; Rodriguez ends the night by unmasking his own surprise flick pick. The Austin Chronicle – hey, that’s us! – partners up with the Paramount to present the screening. – Flora Belle Farr
