Generally yes during Halloween season, with consistent limits: no face-covering masks in the auditorium, no prop weapons even obviously fake ones, and nothing that blocks the view of people behind you, so the giant headpiece stays home. Some screenings run pre-show costume contests, worth arriving early for. When a listing says "costumes encouraged," the room will be half-dressed-up; join in.
Poll the group's floor, not its ceiling: one miserable friend outweighs three thrilled ones. Atmospheric picks, gothic, classic monsters, psychological slow-burns, keep mixed groups together, while jump-scare and gore films suit self-selected crews who opted in. Check a scene-detail review site when someone has a specific no-go like eyes or needles. Seat the nervous ones on the aisle.
Outdoor screenings cancel or postpone for rain and real wind, usually announced 2-4 hours ahead on the organizer's social feed, so check before driving. Ticketed events typically honor tickets at a rain date; free ones just evaporate. Build the double plan: know which indoor screening or streaming-plus-takeout night replaces it, and keep blankets in the car either way through October.
