Halloween-season crowds stack theater traffic on top of bar traffic, so pre-book a garage spot through a parking app when the show is downtown, and add 20-30 minutes over your normal estimate on the last two October weekends. Garages beat street parking for costume nights, lit, patrolled, and no 2 am meter surprises. Note your level and row; every garage looks identical at midnight.
Use ratings as the floor, not the verdict: a sensitive 10-year-old and a horror-curious 8-year-old need different calls. Preview the specific film's scare profile, jump scares and peril read differently than gore, and check parent-review sites for scene-level detail. Matinee family screenings of classic monster movies are the on-ramp. Agree on a mid-movie exit signal that carries no shame.
Flip the haunted-house logic: screenings and theater get better as Halloween approaches, with the deepest programming, marathons, shadow casts, themed pre-shows, on the final two weekends. Early October is for tickets to things that will sell out, late October is for attending them. Halloween night itself often has the best cult-screening energy of the year and lighter crowds than the Saturday.
