While we kiss the summer goodbye and turn our attention toward changing leaves and autumn vibes, Harvest Nights is ready to make its triumphant return for another year. Once again, Spooky Screenings will be lighting up the night with movie magic. This stunning seasonal series of events welcomes film buffs and casual viewers alike, offering something for everyone. For an extra sweet treat, every ticket to a screening comes with admission to Harvest Nights. So, strap in for a season stacked with cinema at Newfields.

Casper, 1995. Directed by Rob Letterman. © Universal Pictures.

First on this lethal line-up is family favorite, Casper. Screening on October 1, this spooky romp directed by Brad Silberling is a delight for all ages. Featuring the titular friendly ghost, a truly to die for haunted house, and the queen of Halloween—Christina Ricci—this is a can’t miss screening.

Scream, 1996. Directed by Wes Craven. © Dimension Films.

On October 9 comes a slasher like no other (excluding all six of its sequels), Scream. Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the film follows Sydney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and her friends as they try to survive Ghostface’s reign of terror. A magnificent meta commentary that's credited with having saved the horror genre when it was at its lowest, Scream is a stunner. The chills and thrills don’t stop there, Scream tickets come with admission to Ghouls Night Out, a 21+ event. If you’ve got it, haunt it!

Hocus Pocus, 1993. Directed by Kenny Ortega. © Walt Disney Pictures.

Another seasonal staple hits the screen on October 30, the night before Halloween. Featuring a trio of hilariously heinous witches, a black cat that’s inspired feline names for decades, and a Bette Midler musical number; you guessed it, it’s Hocus Pocus.

The Nightmare Before Christmas, 1993. Directed by Henry Selick. © Walt Disney Pictures.

Then on November 1, comes the crown jewel of Spooky Screenings, The Nightmare Before Christmas. This all-time classic needs no introduction and no explanation; but be warned, this hit will sell out quick so be sure to get your tickets early.

One last bit of advice. Be sure to take advantage of the dual offer these tickets come with. Harvest Nights is a fall tradition you’ll hate to miss, so don’t get lost in the movie magic. Be sure to check out all the spooky (not scary) sights in The Garden and get yourself a deviously delicious bite in The Beer Garden.
