The Festival moves to The Regal Cypress Creek on October 24 – 30, where we will feature two theatres playing films from 1pm – 10pm. When we are not at The Miniaci or The Regal, we are back at home base with films and special events at Cinema Paradiso. On October 31st, the 3rd Annual BOO-tacular will take place at Cinema Paradiso. From 6 – 8pm, kids can enjoy our Pumpkin Patch, Haunted House, Costume & Scream Contests, Halloween movies (easy on frights for the little ones) and treats.
