Rooftop Cult Cinema

Overview

Summer is well on its way, and with it comes the annual bout of pop-up openair cinemas. They range from beachside to park-side and all of the outdoor spaces in between — and, luckily, some are even free. This is the case at Darlinghurst's The Taphouse, which is bringing back its cult cinema nights to its rooftop garden just in time for Halloween.

The weekly event will launch on Tuesday, October 29 with a screening of Evil Dead 2, the 1987 comedy-horror classic. Elsewhere on the lineup, you'll find 1981 sci-fi flick Escape from New York, 90s Aussie favourite The Castle, Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt starring throwback 12 Monkeys, mockumentary musical This Is Spinal Tap and 1985 fantasy film Brazil.

The rooftop cinema will run every Tuesday from October 29 through February 25. While entry and popcorn are free, bookings are a must, as there is limited bean bag seating. To nab a spot for you and your mates, head over here.

Rooftop Cult Cinema opens at 7pm with the movie starting at 7.30pm.
