Spooky season has arrived, and Alamo Drafthouse is celebrating Halloween in a big way this year. First up, their “Spread Fear” series embraces horror all month long, delivering a witches brew made up of some of the best, bloodiest, downright maniacal horror films out there.
“Our Spread Fear series embraces all the chilling fun of the holiday season (the one with ghouls and ghosts, not sugarplum fairies) with a full slate of some of the greatest horror movies ever put to film,” Alamo Drafthouse previews. “We’re talking THE THING, GHOSTBUSTERS (1984), THE LOST BOYS Movie Party, THE MUMMY + THE WOLF MAN Double Feature, a Champagne Cinema screening of THE CRAFT, and so much more.
“But Halloween isn’t all about killers and tortured monsters, it’s also about the candy. The whole family can get in on the spooky fun with Trick or Treat Cinema, a series dedicated to maximum value and maximum fun with discount tickets and candy for everyone. Costumes are highly encouraged, just make sure they don’t disrupt the experience for the other guests.”
The team continues, “While we worship at the altar of horror all year, there’s one night in particular where we hold nothing back with the most maniacal, menacing, maddening movies – Dismember the Alamo. Our yearly mystery marathon is back in select theaters to shock and delight with a curated list of films sure to shake the nerve of even the most hardened of gorehounds. Learn more and find tickets right HERE (or HERE for Alamo Drafthouse Manhattan, or HERE for Alamo Drafthouse La Vista).
“Of course there’s plenty more to enjoy this month, including our series honoring the late/great William Friedkin, The Story of a Hurricane. And while Terror Tuesday and Weird Wednesday are always great ways to get your genre fix, we’re turning up the terror and the weird for October.”
