Haus of Horror: Parramatta Gaol

Overview

UPDATE, Sunday, October 22: More information about Haus of Horror's 2023–24 venues and screenings are on their way, with some details changing — we'll update you when the latest schedule is announced.

How do you start a new horror movie event with a bang? Take a lineup of beloved scary flicks to a supremely eerie location. That's Haus of Horror's setup, which included unleashing both The Exorcist and the OG Scream in a haunted prison with sessions at Parramatta Gaol earlier in 2023. And, it'll soon be back to do it again.

Haus of Horror's second season is still finalising its details, but expect an impressive roster of top-notch horror classics.

This is obviously one of the best places in the city to show scary-themed films — and Haus of Horror's movie nights aren't just about the big screen.

In the past, its Parramatta sessions have included two hours for attendees to explore Parramatta Gaol's morgue, cell blocks and showers; a bar serving beer and wine; vegan and non-vegan bites to eat; a live DJ spinning tunes while the sun sets; and an interactive photo booth set up like scenes from the film.
