It’s October, and that means it’s time for horror flicks galore. Our friends at Revival Hub have dug through the listings to assemble the ultimate guide to every scary movie showing going on in L.A. this month. From eerie early Hollywood vampire and monster films, to campy ’80s and ’90s slashers, and everything in between, if it’s gory or ghosty and on screen in Los Angeles, you’ll find it here.
This list has been curated for us by the movie lovers at Revival Hub L.A., where you can find a day-by-day listing of all the throwback and special screenings in town.
