New Beverly Halloween Screens Information
Comfortably decked out for the Halloween season, the New Beverly Cinema offers daily screenings of classic, cult, and exploitation titles throughout October. The eclectic selection includes respected classics and low-budget (but enjoyable) trash. There is also an Annual Horror Show (sometimes known as the All-Night Horror Show), which is a twelve-hour marathon including rare feature films, trailers, cartoons and short subjects.
Films run the gamut: some for adults only, some good for the whole family, including cartoons and spoofs. Typical titles include Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), The Thing from Another World (1951), Hold That Ghost (1942), Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Franknstein (1931), The Gates of Hell (aka, City of the Living Dead, 1980), Beetlejuice, Mark of the Vampire, and Night of the Living Dead.
The New Beverly evokes a ’70s vibe; the venue is almost as much a museum as it is a theatre. Its presentation is a throwback to an era when films were projected on film: the theatre screens 35mm prints in great condition. Sometimes they are newly struck; sometimes they are archival prints such as IB Technicolor – a process whose colors do not fade over time.
Note: Some years, the theatre’s usual repertory schedule continues during evenings while the Halloween Horror Movie Screenings take place as afternoon matinees or midnight movies.
