Nobody Shows Any Old Horror Movies In NYC - Except ALL Of These:

Share on Facebook

A fellow writer on another site pointed out something today: We like to complain that there isn't any good horror movie programming going on in NYC, but there's almost always something going on if you look hard enough. Of course, you're not likely to see catch NYC's finest horror programming on many of the other sites, seeing as all those shockers are far too centrally located in disgusting California. (I see what you did there...) Who has the time to search through the hundreds of theater listings in Manhattan to find a good batch of flicks playing. We do! We do!

There's the SCARY MOVIES 3 Film series at the Walter Reade Theater by Lincoln Center (classy!), the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) has a Creepy Cat series coming up and a number of other genre flicks programmed for October, and The Sunshine Landmark Cinema in Manhattan ALWAYS has a midnight cult-flick screening every Friday-Saturday-Sunday, and this month is full of some treats.

So here's a listing of old-school and modern classic horror screenings going on that will give you plenty to look at this October in the NYC area. Know anymore? Let us know!

'SCARY MOVIES 3' Film Series at THE WALTER READE THEATER

The Walter Reade Theater is located at 165 W. 65th St. (upper level) on the Upper West Side.
