An annual Late Night at the Logan Series
Tues-Thurs night screenings | Fri-Mon night screenings

Scary season returns in full blast this October with The Logan Theatre's annual Horror Movie Madness festivities! This month-long series features a set of classic horror films, a one-night screening of Nosferatu with live accompaniment, and our annual costume party. Burnt City Brewing is featured at the bar all month, and we'll be heading to Summer Camp at The Logan with Bucket o' Blood Books & Records on the 15th. We'll close out the month with extended run of The Shining and four nights of John Carpenter's Halloween.
Showtimes range from 10:30 pm to 11 pm, with earlier screenings in the week leading up to the holiday. Costumes are welcome during designated festivities, especially on October 22nd before the opening of Beetlejuice, at our annual Halloween Party.
Join us early and hang out at our bar or in the Lounge. Partake in a cryptic cocktail from our drink menu or enjoy any of your favorites from our fully stocked bar.
