Halloween showings at Vue Halifax from new releases to creepy classics
Vue Halifax is marking spooky season with treats for audiences of all ages, tastes and scare levels.
First to conjure up the Halloween spirit is Disney’s much-loved Hocus Pocus, which returns from October 2. This wickedly wonderful family favourite follows the chaos that unfolds when three witches are magically revived, causing a mix of magic, mischief and mayhem.
For older audiences, The Others is back to terrify moviegoers from October 16. Starring Nicole Kidman, this supernatural classic is packed with creeping tension, eerie encounters and one of cinema’s most memorable twists.
Other spooky titles casting their spell include cult supernatural favourite The Craft, which returns from October 16, and iconic slasher Scream, which celebrates 30 years of scares with an anniversary screening from October 23.


As well as familiar favourites, new releases include psychological thriller Verity, adapted from the acclaimed Colleen Hoover novel of the same name and starring Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson, arriving on October 2.
Meanwhile, based on the beloved and award-winning BBC comedy, Ghosts: The Possession of Button House heads to Vue from October 23. Following a group of ghosts from different time periods who haunt the same house, the film marks the first feature-length family adventure from the show’s creators.
Other thrilling and chilling releases include Other Mommy, a supernatural scare-fest starring Jessica Chastain in a dual role; Clayface, DC Comics’ horrifying take on an iconic Batman villain; and creepy spider creature feature Crawlers, arriving on October 9, October 23 and October 31 respectively.
The Halloween line-up wraps up with two anniversary releases from October 30. Cult classic Donnie Darko, starring Jake Gyllenhaal in his breakthrough role as a troubled teenager who encounters a mysterious figure in a rabbit costume, returns to the big screen 25 years after its initial release. Meanwhile, acclaimed director Guillermo del Toro’s beautifully dark fairy tale Pan’s Labyrinth returns to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
Teresa Hussain, General Manager at Vue in Halifax, said: “This October, we’re thrilled to be able to put on a raft of new and classic films for fans of scary and spooky films.
"From family-friendly comedy horrors to cult favourites, we know how gripping scary films can be and want to provide the very best big screen experience for people to enjoy every laugh and every scare this Halloween, leaving them with an experience they’ll feel forever.”
