October at the JPT is packed with chills, laughs, and classics on the big screen. Settle in with seasonal sweets and cocktails, then choose your flavor of fright, from slashers and cult favorites to family picks, witches, and Universal monsters accompanied by a live score. Our historic cinema is celebrating nearly 100 Halloweens of film history.
Local tie ins make it extra fun. Look for weekly pre film tastings with Newport’s Rejects Beer Co., plus collaborations with Narragansett Beer and Newport Cannabis Company. The month wraps with a Halloween night double feature of fan favorites Halloween and Friday the 13th.
