A seasonal social gathering centered around films with horror, thriller, or fantastical elements associated with the autumnal holiday. Such events often involve decorations, costumes, and food inspired by specific films or the genre in general. For example, attendees might dress as characters from a classic monster movie, while the venue is adorned with cobwebs and themed snacks are served.
Organizing such a celebration allows individuals to express creativity through costume design and thematic decorations. It provides an opportunity for social interaction centered around a shared interest in cinematic storytelling, fostering a sense of community among attendees. The practice draws on the cultural significance and long-standing traditions associated with the end-of-October holiday, including the playful embrace of fear and the exploration of supernatural themes.
