2026 Halloween listings by Jennie Kermode
The spooky season is officially putting a damper on some plans. Due to recent stormy weather, many of the planned Halloween events have been cancelled, forcing fans to take a raincheck on some of the outdoor screenings. However, don’t despair! While the skies may be grey, the spirit of horror remains alive, and we’ve managed to track down a sensational lineup of sinister events still scheduled across the country. If you’re looking for a fright this season, you’ll find plenty of thrills waiting.
Despite the weather-related cancellations, the cinematic calendar is still packed with chilling entertainment. We’re looking at a highly active schedule, particularly in Northern Ireland, where the horror genre is in full swing.
In Aberdeen, audiences have a date to mark on the calendar. Fans can prepare for a fright night on the 30th, where the classic tale of Hocus Pocus is slated to be shown at the Craig Centre for Performing Arts starting at 6:30 PM.
Meanwhile, Belfast is gearing up for a weekend packed with spine-tingling entertainment. On the 25th, the city hosts a thrilling drive-in experience at Let’s Go Hydro featuring a triple dose of frights: Alice In Wonderland, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Friday The 13th.
The excitement continues on the 26th, with more cinematic scares planned. Attendees can join the drive-in experience at Let’s Go Hydro for a double feature of The Nightmare Before Christmas and Insidious.
Adding to the variety of unsettling events, the 26th also features a standalone screening of Lair Of The White Worm at QFT, alongside a feature focusing on the timeless suspense of The Woman In Black and Halloween storytelling at Cahoots.
