Using 1980s teen board games and audience participation, host Lane Moore leads you through a wild ride of a totally improvised 1980s horror movie. Will Lane find love in the 1980s, or, will one (or all) of her suitors fail to make it out alive? Heart-Throb Slasher is a totally improvised, choose-your-own-adventure nostalgia-drenched horror movie, that'll keep you laughing as the bodies drop.

Hercules vs Vampires
Oct 30 - 31, 2026
The United Theater on Broadway 
$ 

This Halloween, LA Opera joins forces with the United Theater on Broadway for an only-in-LA collision of opera, orchestra, cult cinema and unabashed camp.

Hercules vs. Vampires is a musical reimagining of Mario Bava's 1961 sword-and-sandal cult classic Hercules in the Haunted World, starring former Mr. Universe Reg Park—an early mentor to Arnold Schwarzenegger—alongside the legendary Christopher Lee (Lord of the Rings, Dracula,   Star Wars).

Patrick Morganelli's original score adds live singers and orchestra to Mario Bava's gloriously lurid fantasy, making an already over-the-top movie even more over the top. It's high art meets high camp, with equal parts beef and cheese.

The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Concert & The Castlevania 40th Anniversary An Orchestral Concert In 2027

 Two big video game concerts were announced with tickets going on sale today for Zelda and Oct 1st for Castlevania. Details on each below

From press release: The Hollywood Bowl welcomes The Legend of Zelda™ 40th Anniversary Concert with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra on August 25, 2027, as part of a worldwide tour celebrating 40 years of Nintendo's franchise. Featuring music from across the video game series, the concert brings to life some of the franchise's most beloved themes, from nostalgic classics to contemporary works. 

Since 1986, the Legend of Zelda series has been one of Nintendo’s most enduring and influential franchises. These games tell a tale of good versus evil and revolve around a courageous hero named Link, a wise princess named Zelda, and a dark and powerful villain named Ganondorf—each representing one aspect of a divine energy known as the Triforce. Across generations, Link and Zelda stand against Ganondorf’s relentless ambition, fighting to prevent him from plunging the kingdom of Hyrule into darkness. 

To commemorate 40 years since the first video game in the series was released in Japan, the Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Concert will be held across the globe in 2027 and includes a variety of music from the Legend of Zelda series, from nostalgic tunes to modern melodies. 
 

From official site: Performed live by a powerhouse 25-piece rock orchestra and accompanied by gameplay footage on screen, this concert takes audiences on a journey through 40 years of Castlevania history, featuring the unforgettable music that has brought its vampire hunters’ heroic battles to life.

From iconic themes such as Vampire Killer, Bloody Tears, and Beginning to the relentless drive of Divine Bloodlines and the soaring melodies of Dracula’s Castle, every piece has been specially arranged for this concert to capture the full richness of the series’ music—from moments of stillness and mystery to breathless battles against the Lord of Darkness himself.

March 26, 2027 - Los Angeles @ Dolby Theatre



Don't forget there's more concerts this year too:

 

Dolby Theatre, Hollywood, CA
 
The legendary adventure transcends time once more—now through music. In celebration of Chrono Trigger’s enduring legacy, the timeless journey beloved by generations is brought back to life through the rich, sweeping sound of a full orchestra, accompanied by iconic scenes from the game.

This concert brings the highly acclaimed 30th Anniversary Concert, originally held in Japan in January 2026, directly to fans in North America.
