The leaves are starting to fall, bulk-sized candy bags are popping up + you’ve probably ordered more pumpkin spice lattes than you’d like to admit. That can only mean one thing — October is coming — and it’s bringing all things that go bump in the night.

Night of Frights

Grab a cold beer + get ready for some spine-chilling scenes. The big screen at Burl Brew will be showing scream-worthy Halloween classics every Tuesday in October at 8 p.m.

  • Tuesday, Oct. 1 — “Scream”
  • Tuesday, Oct. 8 — “The Craft”
  • Tuesday, Oct. 15 — “The Shining”
  • Tuesday, Oct. 22 — “Halloween”
  • Tuesday, Oct. 28 — “Hocus Pocus”

Freaky Flicks

This family-friendly experience will pop up throughout the city on Fridays at 6:30 p.m. Bring your picnic setup, come dressed in a costume, and get ready to boogie at the pre-movie Monster Mash dance party.
