Park Theatre Announces Halloween Schedule Of Movies & Events

The Park Theatre has announced its line-up of movies and events for its Halloween season of spooky things.

The Halloween at The Park series starts on Friday, October 25 at 6:30pm with William Castle’s classic 13 Ghosts movie. When the spooky film was released in 1960, patrons at every theater received special “Illusion-O” glasses that allowed you to “see” ghosts in the film when there were no ghosts on the screen when you saw it without the glasses. Each member of The Park’s screening will receive the special glasses. Tickets are $10/$9.

The second film being shown is YellowBrickRoad. This 2010 horror film was shot entirely in New Hampshire. It screens on Saturday, October 26 at 7pm. It’s about an expedition of young adults who set out to explore a mysterious forest where the residents of a town all died. The director of the film, Jesse Holland, will Zoom in live from the west coast to have a Q&A about the NH made film. Tickets are $10/$9.

On Sunday, October 27, it’s a Taylor Swift Halloween themed dance party. The world’s #1 Taylor Swift Tribute DJ, DJ Swiftie, will be rockin’ the house with his laser light show as he spins Taylor’s biggest hits for you to dance to. Tickets for the all ages TayTay Dance Party are $25 ($30 day-of-show). Plus, you can purchase a VIP ticket for $50 and receive early access to the auditorium (and get the best position) plus an autographed photo from DJ Swiftie, and a foam glow wand.
