The Logan Theatre will host a variety of Halloween events and movie screenings throughout October. | Provided

The start of October signals the official start to the Halloween season — a time to dress up, hunker down with popcorn and candy to watch the best horror and cult classic films. There is no shortage of places in the city to get your Halloween movie fix in before the big day.

“I really think October brings out the fun of Halloween, and it gets promoted earlier and earlier every year,” Jennifer Zacarias, director of marketing and events at The Logan Theatre, said.

The Logan Theatre will be hosting their annual Horror Movie Madness for the entire month of October and is decorated for the occasion.

“It’s just great to see these films on the big screen as they were intended to be,” Zacarias said.

For families, The Logan Theatre offers a free matinee event featuring “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” and “Casper Saves Halloween.” Kids can come in costume and participate in Halloween-centric activities. Look for other less-frightening movies, like “Hocus Pocus” or “Ghostbusters,” for the faint of heart.

The Music Box Theatre will also be hosting their annual Music Box of Horrors — a 24-hour movie marathon event including “Freddy Vs. Jason” and “Fright Night Part II.” There will be food trucks and retail vendors stationed at the theater.

This year also marks the 40th anniversary of John Carpenter’s holiday classic, “Halloween,” and there are several opportunities to see the original movie before the latest iteration is released. The newest “Halloween,” with Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her role as Laurie Strode, will premiere Friday, Oct. 19. Check your local movie theater for showtimes.

“Night of the Living Dead” is also celebrating its 50th anniversary, and there will be screenings at Regal Cinemas.
