Stricter than movies: immersive and small-house productions often require phones fully off or pouched, since a lit screen wrecks a blackout scene for the whole room, and some ghost tours-turned-shows ban recording of performers outright. Photo moments, when offered, are announced. Silence it before entering, not during the first scare, and take the no-phone hour as part of the atmosphere.
Libraries, parks departments, campuses, museums, and breweries all run October screenings that are free or under ten dollars, and they're published in early October on community calendars rather than movie apps. Free events are first-come seating, so arrive 30-plus minutes early with your own blanket or chairs. Quality tip: outdoor classics and family monster matinees are where the free tier shines.
The famous ones, Rocky Horror on Halloween weekend, cult classics at beloved theaters, immersive productions, sell out one to three weeks ahead, while ordinary horror screenings hold seats until showtime. Book anything on the two weekends before Halloween as soon as the calendar posts, and for reserved-seat houses, earlier booking means better rows at identical prices.
