Scream-a-Thon 2023

Overview

Twenty-six years after a Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette-starring film about small-town murders thoroughly revitalised the slasher genre, the Scream franchise returned in 2022 to take another stab at cinema glory. Because some things just won't die in the horror realm (see also: the Halloween, Saw, The Grudge, The Ring and Child's Play sagas), the Ghostface killer yet again stalked Woodsboro, and also terrorised a scary movie that once more mixed slasher thrills with self-aware laughs — and was just called Scream, too.

That Scream fivequel was followed by Scream VI in 2023 — and, if you missed either in a cinema, here's your chance to change that. With October upon us, The Astor Theatre is bringing back its Scream-a-Thon for a feast of slasher thrills from 4pm on Saturday, October 7.

If you like scary movies, you'll want to spook yourself silly at this massive marathon, which is showing the whole big-screen franchise.

A love of this Wes Craven-started franchise is obviously a must — and yes, you can expect to see folks wearing Ghostface masks, obviously.
