Halloween Movie Night
Catch a couple of spooky movies for free on an outdoor big screen — and either pack your own picnic or hit up the onsite food truck.
Overview
Pumpkins, lollies and dressing up in costume: they're the parts of Halloween that suit everyone, even if you're not a fan of scary movies. Hitting up Victoria Park's pop-up Halloween-themed outdoor cinema night actually falls into that category, too — because while these flicks suit the occasion, they don't include spine-tingling frights.
On Saturday, October 29, just days before Halloween itself, this inner-city patch of turf is hosting two flicks — for free, out on the grass, and with picnics welcome. It all kicks off at 6.30pm with Pixar's supremely family-friendly Monsters, Inc, which'll also deliver a big dose of nostalgia.
Then, come 8.15pm, Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands will unfurl its gothic fantasy — and a prime Winona Ryder performance.
Entry doesn't cost a thing but, if you don't pack your own snacks and drinks, you'll want your wallet to hit up the onsite food truck. They'll be serving from 5.30pm.
Also, this movie night is dog-friendly, but Rover will need to remain on a leash.
And if you feel like getting tap, tap, tapping around a Halloween mini-golf course, too, you'll be in the perfect place for it. That'll cost you as well, however.
