Spend a few October evenings enjoying fall films at Hollywood Forever Cemetery – NBC Los Angeles

Seeking out spellbound spots rich with cinematic splendor when October arrives is an enchanted errand many Southern Californians happily commit to, especially those locals who love a great movie shown in an atmospheric spot.

Hollywood Forever Cemetery is full of atmosphere, and memories, and an enduring importance to the film-loving community; it is the final resting place for so many movie luminaries, including director David Lynch.

Pair such a poignant place with films that feel especially timed to the tenth month and you’ve got an emotion-packed experience, one you can enjoy without casting any spells. However, to join one of Cinespia’s October screenings, you will need to purchase your ticket in advance as the popular nights can sell out.

The long-running film series, which has long made its home at the Tinseltown landmark, revealed its October 2026 line-up Aug. 25.

“Corpse Bride,” “Carrie,” “Jennifer’s Body,” and “The Thing” are the four frightful films set to screen on select nights.

“Our community has made Halloween at Cinespia an annual tradition, and it’s something we look forward to every year,” said Cinespia founder John Wyatt.

“Seeing thousands of people come together in costume, quoting every line, cheering at the screen, and celebrating these iconic films is what makes October so special for us.”

The creatively designed photo booth is still free, and, for sure, it will boast odes to the evening’s movie (so be sure to wear your prom dress for “Carrie” or wedding veil for “Corpse Bride”).

DJ music and the opportunity to arrive with your own picnic are also hallmarks of the haunting happening; parking is additional, and, again, these nights may sell out in advance.
