Embrace October Frights: Regal's 31 Screams on Screen Returns

Update The Thrill of October: Regal's 31 Screams on Screen As the leaves begin to turn and the air cools, October is not just a time for pumpkin spice lattes and fall festivals—it’s the perfect month for horror fans to revel in cinematic thrills. Regal Cinemas recognizes this seasonal shift with its exciting 2026 ‘31 Screams on Screen’ series, bringing a staggering collection of 33 horror films back to the big screen every day throughout October, from spine-tingling classics to modern masterpieces. A Packed Schedule Packed with Classic Thrills From the unsettling brilliance of The Shining (1980) to the chilling narratives in Trick ’r Treat (2007), Regal’s lineup is nostalgic yet fresh. Every day features a distinct selection, starting with The Blackcoat’s Daughter on October 1 and culminating with Trick ’r Treat on Halloween night. This year, horror enthusiasts can expect double features on select nights, with gems like A Nightmare on Elm Street paired with its sequel, allowing families to feast on frights back to back. Tickets are affordably priced at $7.99, making it an accessible outing for families. Community Spirit and Connection This series isn’t just about the sheer joy of great films. It invites local families and foreign visitors alike to experience a classic American tradition: enjoying spooky stories on the big screen. As children and parents gather, there’s a shared thrill in those jump scares, bonding over popcorn and giggles. Regal’s lineup celebrates diversity in horror, showcasing modern voices like Jordan Peele alongside classics from John Carpenter, ensuring that everyone finds a terrifying tale to enjoy! Beyond the Screen: The Horror Experience in Local Theme Parks Adding to the all-encompassing Halloween experience, local theme parks are also amplifying the horror vibe. Dorney Park is set to feature attractions inspired by films such as The Blair Witch Project, while Six Flags locations are diving into the haunting universe of The Conjuring. These immersive experiences expand the realm of horror, reminding us why this genre holds such an important place in our culture.

Regal’s initiative taps into this desire, offering parents a chance to introduce their children to iconic horror while also enjoying a nostalgic escape themselves. It’s a celebration of human fears and triumphs, perfect for getting everyone in the spooky spirit.
