Halloween season is upon us in San Diego once again. And you know we stay ready all year long for the frights, and the tricks, and the treats. This year, we’re bringing things to a new level. To kick off Halloween Season at Popcorn Reef for 2024, we invite you to join us for…THE FIRST ANNUAL Fall Freak Out!! This is our biggest and craziest offering of the year at The Tenth. If you’ve been joining us down there for all of our double features throughout the year, this will be like a supercharged version of that, and we need to stress that this is not an event for the faint of heart.

So, what exactly are we doing? Here’s the deal. For this program, we’ve decided to pick one film from four different golden eras of horror (the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and the 1990s.) The film we’re showing from each era will remain a secret until showtime. But what we can guarantee is, you’re going to get a solid mix of horror subgenres throughout the night. Body horror? Ghost stories? Erotic horror? Devastating night-ruiners? Splatterfests? Weird Italian shit? Everything is on the table. If you’re the most seasoned horror aficionado, you’ll still probably catch a couple flicks you’ve never seen before. If you’re still exploring the genre, this will be a great way to get some deeper cuts under your belt.

If that wasn’t enough, we’re bringing the all-you-can-eat-pizza and soda back! Pizza will be served starting at 7, through 9:30. And if you ever need a break, you can always head up to the Top of the Tenth rooftop and get a panoramic view of Downtown San Diego to take a breather from the madness.

There’s also going to be a couple more surprises that will occur throughout the evening that we can’t express in words right now without spoiling anything. Simply put, we can’t wait for you to experience this event. It’s been a long time in the making.

Do you think you can make it all the way to the end of our First Annual Fall Freak Out? We believe in you. Remember, to avoid fainting, keep repeating, “It’s only a movie…it’s only a movie…it’s only a movie.”
