Book the show first, then a dinner reservation 2-2.5 hours before curtain within a ten-minute walk, so parking happens once. Match themes for bonus points, cocktails somewhere moody, then the ghost show. Skip the heavy tasting menu before a late screening, and plan the post-show drink spot ahead, since everything near the theater fills the moment the crowd releases.
Midnight screenings buy atmosphere, costumes, callbacks, a crowd that chose to be there, at the cost of next-day function; matinees buy cheap tickets, easy parking, and kid-compatible scheduling at the cost of electricity in the room. Split by title: cult and interactive films need the late crowd, while a gothic classic plays beautifully at 4 pm. Check last-transit times before booking midnight.
October nights get cold fast once the sun drops: bring low-back chairs or a thick blanket to sit on plus one to wear, layers, and a thermos. Arrive 45-60 minutes early for a center spot behind the low-chair zone, and pack a red-light flashlight for finding things without blinding neighbors. Check the food policy, since some screenings are BYO and others sell concessions.
