Get into the Halloween spirit as special guests screen and discuss their most memorable and frightening movie experiences. Over three fright-filled nights, filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, playwright Jeremy O. Harris, actress Zazie Beetz, and actor-writer David Rysdahl present the films that made them the most scared they’ve ever been, followed by conversations with each presenter. On Halloween night, the series closes with an after party featuring a cinematic audio-visual DJ set by Little Cinema. (NOTE: The rest of the Museum is closed October 29.)
