Happening in L.A.: Thursday, October 3 – Wednesday, October 9

Videotheque Highland Park screening calendar flyer for October, 2024

Friday, October 4, Videotheque kicks off a month of horror screenings with a Dark Shadows binge curated by yours truly. I picked out five episodes filled with tarot, witchcraft and maybe— just, maybe— a creature of the night. The episodes will make sense whether you’re new to Dark Shadows or if you, like me, have seen all 1200+ episodes. Doors open at 8:30 p.m. for the screening, which starts at 9 p.m., and tickets are $12. You can RSVP on Partiful.  4102 N. Figueroa St., Highland Park 90031.

Read “Lost in Time Watching Dark Shadows” if you want to catch up on the series.
