Halloween is in full swing this weekend, with local, indie theaters playing a profusion of horror classics throughout the city to get the Puget Sound region into the holiday spirit.
The ’80s horror movie Suitable Flesh is also playing at the Grand Illusion this weekend.
Seattle’s SIFF Cinema Egyptian and Uptown are showing multiple viewings of the 1962 horror classic Carnival of Souls, The Bride of Frankenstein, the Korean horror film Train to Busan, and Francis Ford Coppola’s Oscar-nominated box office hit Dracula.
Finally, AMC Pacific Place 11 in Seattle is hosting special screenings of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas to celebrate Halloween while also simultaneously kicking off the holiday season.
And, as the Halloween season comes and goes — with a slew of Oscar contenders waiting for the calendars to flip from October to November — now is the time to delve into 2023’s offering of horror and thrillers, both in theaters and on streaming. National Horror Movie Day was Oct. 23 after all.
