See all this weekend's LA picks

A Cinespia night at Hollywood Forever is one of the most LA things you can do, and in October the films turn spooky. Tim Burton's stop-motion Corpse Bride suits a cemetery lawn. Cinespia has marked this one as selling fast.

What to expect

Gates open at 5:30 p.m. for picnics, DJ sets and drinks, and the event starts at 7:15 p.m. A restored Betty Boop Halloween short plays before the film. There is a free photobooth, and Cinespia invites guests to dress in macabre wedding wear.

Good to know

  • Bring a blanket or low chair and a picnic.
  • Come in costume if you like; Cinespia is encouraging wedding-themed looks.
  • Buy ahead; Cinespia lists this screening as selling fast.
  • The cemetery is on Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood; parking fills early.
  • Nights get cool in October, so bring a layer.

Going? Keep it.
