Orange launches Halloween web event
Wednesday 21st October 2009, by Daniel King
Orange has this week announced that as part of its Facebook Film Club, it will be screening a special Halloween-themed flick on October 30th at an as-yet undisclosed location in London.
The company, which provides a selection of fixed-line and mobile internet solutions, is encouraging people to get online and sign up to a dedicated group on the social networking portal, where they will be able to get involved.
Although it has not yet been revealed what "true Halloween classic" will be shown and where, the network did confirm it will be at "an inspired location" in the capital and will emerge as participants unlock various hints and clues that will unfold via the Facebook page.
Following this, interested parties can apply for free tickets to the event, which will use wireless headphones and other special effects techniques to offer what Orange promise will be "an immersive viewing experience like no other".
Commenting, the carrier's head of brand partnerships in the UK Hattie Magee said that the Facebook Film Club has already attained a large and dedicated number of followers and this new initiative "will delight true film fans".
"With the added 4D sensory effects and a few other surprises, we hope to create a truly unique cinematic experience," she concluded.
Horror movie fans across the UK may also be heading to Manchester over the Halloween weekend as the region hosts its first Grimm Up North film festival between October 30th and November 1st.
Looking ahead to the event, a post on the Film Rant Blog said the three days of screenings would bring "a chocolate box-style assortment of terror to the city's premier movie-going venue".
