American Cinematheque Halloween Screenings

The American Cinematheque includes horror films in its year-round programming, but the ratio goes way up during the Halloween season. Besides the annual all-night Horrorthon, there will usually be themed series, such as Japanese Ghost Cats, Universal Classics, or International House of Horrors. Cinematic Void, which presents cult-classics of all genres the rest of the year, focuses specifically on horror in October, usually offering classic with broad appeal.

Note: Since recovering from the 2020 pandemic, American Cinematheque has resumed screenings at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica and Los Feliz in Los Angeles but not the Egyptian in Hollywood, which has undergone renovations and is scheduled to open in late 2024.

Horrorthon Date: To Be Announced.

Horrorthon Location: Aero Theatre at 1328 Montana Avenue in Santa Monica.
