If trick-or-treating doesn’t sound appealing this Halloween, there are many events happening all over Los Angeles that are both fun and distinctive.
Take a trip down to downtown Los Angeles for an experience at the 18-and-over Rooftop Cinema Club. The 1978 movie, “Halloween,” will be showing there on Oct. 31.
Parking at this cashless venue is $7 for self-park and $15 for valet. All major credit cards are accepted and the club is located on the fourth floor of the building.
Michael Castellon, who attended the Cinema Club recently, said, “I went with my wife and we enjoyed it. Nice that they have drinks and food.” He mentioned not expecting earphones to be distributed for the movie.
Rooftop Cinema Club has two locations in Los Angeles as well as other locations in New York, Houston, San Diego and even London. You can find more information such as showtimes and the Hollywood and downtown address on the website https://rooftopcinemaclub.com/los-angeles/.
