Mix tiers: one or two full-price event screenings you actually care about, then fill with discount weeknights, matinees, second-run houses, and free library or park screenings, which cluster in October. Theater subscription programs pay for themselves in three visits. Skip concessions at the filler screenings and splurge at the events, and track it all so the total stays a number you chose.
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.
