Balboa Halloween Mystery Marathon

Halloween Candy! Costumes! Four mystery horror classics specially curated by programmers of the Balboa! When you were too old to trick or treat on Halloween night, how did you do to celebrate the holiday? If you’re like some of us: you went to a grocery store, bought a bunch of snacks and drinks (along with a bulk bag of your favorite candy), and watched as many horror movies you could fit into a night. This year, the Balboa invites you to relive that experience (or chase that rush for the first time) with our special BALBOA HALLOWEEN MOVIE MARATHON. Join us any time that evening for the low, low price of $13 as four different programmer select one of their favorite horror gems and we run them back to back throughout the night. You won’t know what we’re playing until it’s being announced in the theater, but we can guarantee that all of the films are (a) pre-20th century, (b) never screened in the Bay Area (at least in the past five years), and (c) have one curator on our team who think it’s sick as hell. Along with that, we’ll have Halloween candy and special prizes for a mid-way point costume contest for anyone who wants to dress up! Whether you join for one or stay for all, come with friends or alone, we guarantee your Halloween at the Balboa will be a night of pure, sugar high, blood soaked movie adrenaline.
