Cinespia - Cemetery Movie Screenings

halloween in the cemetery watching a scary movie is AWESOME! especially, if there is a creepy movie. no, we do not sit on top of gravestones. there is a huge patch of grass where people picnic and watch the movies. the graves are not too far away though....

cinespia hosts cemetery movie screenings in the summer time until it gets cold. the movie is projected on to a wall. the one i went to was on halloween night and the movie was "the shining" with jack nicholson. REDRUM! REDRUM! REDRUM!

on halloween, feel free to dress up... or not. we saw an angel and a devil riding their bikes, a couple dressed as figs, ladies with REDRUM written in blood red on their forehead, men dressed in drag...

it is technically free to get in but there is a voluntary donation of $10 per person.

most folks do picnic and listen to a dj spin music while waiting for darkness to fall - they bring pizza, food or whatever as well as any booze they want to drink. i must admit that there were some organic smells that wafted our way as well. no barbecues or pets are allowed.

people bring blankets (lots of blankets as it does get cold at night) and/or low beach chairs (emphasis on the "low").

if you do go, bring the following:
1. blankets (to sit on)
2. low beach chair (to sit on comfortably)
3. a pillow (for comfort)
4. food - and lots of them
5. booze - and lots of them
6. candles - it just looks pretty at night
7. a blanket, a jacket, a scarf, socks and a beanie to keep you warm
8. trash bag - take your trash out!
