OTR Fright Fest Hosts Three Nights of Feel-Good Halloween Movie Double Features

This weekend will see dozens of Halloween parties and celebrations popping up throughout Greater Cincinnati, but if curling up with a blanket (or several), snacks and some feel-good Halloween flicks is more your speed, head to Over-the-Rhine for a ghoulishly good time.

OTR Fright Fest has curated three nights — Friday-Sunday, Oct. 27-29 — of double features of fun and classic Halloween movies. Each night will be set in a different location in Over-the-Rhine.

Friday night’s showing will be at Washington Park (1230 Elm St.) with Dracula, followed by Frankenstein. On Saturday, visit Imagination Alley (1317 Vine St.) to see family-friendly classics, Halloweentown and Frankenweenie. And Sunday, Ziegler Park (1322 Sycamore St.) will host visitors for the cult classic Hocus Pocus, followed by Haunted Mansion.
