Scott … Barry Smoot, artistic director of the Paramount, said he expects about 500 people to watch the Halloween presentation. According to an issue of Abilene Christian University’s student paper The Optimist from October 26, 2006, “The Paramount Theater will show its yearly scary movie feature The Changeling starring George C. The tradition of the film’s screening continued as best I can tell through 2006. In the mid-1990s, it was well-known among teenagers in Abilene, TX, where I grew up, that every October the historic Paramount Theater downtown screened The Changeling two nights only for Halloween. To date, the film has not been available to stream, and as further stated by Severin Films’ website, this is “the 1980 horror classic fully restored in HD for the first time ever in America.” For those who prefer specifics, the site goes on to explain the transfer as “a new HD transfer created from a 4K scan of the inter-positive film element.” I would like to continue staging this with some further quotes and a personal anecdote. Severin Films was able to officially announce that they were releasing the limited edition Blu-ray on June 6 th, 2018. This is certainly not that film nor is it author Victor LaValle’s The Changeling, which recently became a finalist for the World Fantasy Award, but they each dabble in a unique film and literary double indicated by their titles, which will be addressed below. I specify the director to help distinguish from Clint Eastwood’s 2008 film Changeling starring Angelina Jolie. Fans of old can give a knowing nod, whispering “Joseph,” as the red rubber ball bounces back out of the dusty attic and onto a special limited edition Blu-ray of Peter Medak’s The Changeling by Severin Films.
