It's a party, not a movie: a shadow cast performs under the screen, the audience yells callback lines, and first-timers, "virgins," may be affably hazed in a pre-show ritual you can opt out of by telling a cast member. Dress up or don't, nobody's checking, but fishnets earn respect. Buy tickets ahead, arrive early, and surrender to the chaos.
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.
