Movies Under the Stars

Watch Halloween-themed movies outside in Old Sacramento State Historic Park every Thursday night in October.

Watch if You Dare…

Movies Under the Stars is a fast-selling outdoor movie night Thursdays in October. We choose movies with Halloween settings and bring in themed vendors to ring in the spirits. The movie is projected on a large screen and starts at sundown. Put on your provided headphones, grab your popcorn or dinner, and prepare for shivers down your spine. Bring your blankets or indulge in VIP seating — there are three ticket levels to choose from. Tickets go on sale in September; mark your calendars before they sell out!
