Theaters are back, just in time to raise some Halloween spirit. It’s been a year of lock-downs and social distancing, but thankfully cinema fans can safely venture back to the movies. Our local theaters have been working hard to put into place the best practices for returning to an in-person movie experience. Because theaters are operating at a limited capacity, those who want to go back to the movies should grab their tickets as soon as possible. So without further ado, here’s what’s playing this Halloween.
Remember to follow all safety protocols and rules outlined by each theater. Check out their websites for more details, showing times, and ticket purchases.
