Rooftop Cinema Club Halloween 2017 Screenings
Rooftop Cinema Club is not the only organization to present horror movies under the stars – there is also Cinespia with their Hollywood Forever Cemetery series – but Rooftop Cinema puts viewers closer to the stars – by literally screening movies on rooftops. Kicking off with Friday the 13th on Friday, October 13, the series offers fifteen titles, including The Shining (1980), The Exorcist (1973), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), The Babadook (2014), and Get Out (2017). Screenwriter Martin Donovan will participate in a question-and-answer session after a screening of Death Becomes Her (1992) on October 26.
Screenings take place at the Montalban in Hollywood and Level DTLA in downtown Los Angeles. Guests are encouraged to wear costumes and arrive early to eat, drink, and enjoy rooftop views. Wireless headphones are supplied to combat street noise. Blankets are available (if necessary) on a first-come, first-served basis. Screenings at the Montalban are 18-and-over; screenings at Level are 21-and-over.
