Halloween Update: Starting This Weekend

Halloween goes to full swing as we crossover to October this Sunday. All of our main haunts will be open and in the coming weeks we have an unending amount of horror movies to see a scares to explore. Be sure to check out this very loaded weekend which will bloat even further next month. If you need scares you have them.

As always check the Halloween Master List for the latest on all things to do in LA with Halloween in mind.

Beyond Fest 2017
Sept 29-Oct 10
Egyptian Theatre
$

Where to even start with the selection, it's not Fantastic Fest, but damn, it might be my favorite film festival LA has. You're a close second SpectreFest, but you in trouble with The Cinefamily being out right now.

They're showing some amazing horror cult classics like Slumber Party Massacre 1 & 2 with guests in person. Hellraiser has an anniversary screening and Suspiria, a horror gem I keep hearing about on the Shock Waves podcast that's 40 years old and is being remade for this year, weird.

There's so many free screenings too. I'm not sure why, but lucky if you can make it, you got to go in person to grab a seat for those.
