The sCarolina Halloween entertainment series

It’s time to raise the dead. And the Carolina Theatre knows a little something about that, don't we?

 

After sitting abandoned and vacant in Uptown Charlotte for 47 years, the historic Carolina Theatre was resurrected this March. For its first Halloween season back from the dead, the reportedly haunted theatre will present an entertainment series filled with some of cinema’s most classic monsters plus a special live performance from storytelling master Donna Washington on Oct. 30.

 

“There’s no better place to watch history’s most beloved horror movies than in Charlotte’s historic theatre,” Sean Seifert, the Carolina Theatre’s executive director, said. “Just beware: Our theatre has its own off-screen ghost.”

 

Starting on Oct. 3 with 1931’s Dracula, the Carolina Theatre begins its month of the macabre, showcasing eight of Hollywood’s most iconic horror denizens, including a special showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show on Saturday, Oct. 25 complete with prop bags and live character actors and a showing of the original Halloween on Halloween night.
