It’s that time again! Cinespia — the Amazon MGM Studios and Prime Video-sponsored Los Angeles staple that showcases film favorites under the stars — has released their spooky October schedule, which includes a roster of classics that are sure to send shivers down patrons’ spines. Appropriately, Cinespia will be held, as always, at Hollywood Forever Cemetery — the starriest place in the city, where everyone from Judy Garland to David Lynch was laid to rest.
Halloween month kicks off, literally, on October 4 with a 50th anniversary screening of the midnight movie favorite “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” — though you only have to wait until sundown to enjoy this screening. In addition to the cult hit, fans can dress up in their “Time Warp” best and snap a pic at the themed photo booth, partake of the food and libations, and enjoy the DJ’s spins on the dance floor — just like every weekend at the cemetery!

“Each October, we love transforming Hollywood Forever Cemetery into a celebration of everything spooky, nostalgic, and cinematic. It’s one of our favorite times of the year,” Cinespia founder John Wyatt said. “There’s nothing like watching horror movies in a real cemetery, beneath the moonlight, surrounded by fellow fans.”

This Saturday, August 16, fans can deliver blue steel at “Zoolander.” The original slasher “Psycho,” celebrating its 65th anniversary, will scream… I mean screen… on August 23.
