Halloween Movies in San Francisco, 2009

This is a great time of the year to see horror movies. Some theaters are showing the classics, while others are showing off beat or new releases. The listing below has an assortment of different Halloween/Horror/Thriller movies in San Francisco. Maybe there will be one of your favorites or one you have been dying to see!

"The Nightmare Before Christmas" is playing in digital 3D at the Castro Theatre located 429 Castro Steet, San Francisco, CA. You can call them at 415-621-6120. The show runs from October 23^rd to November 5^th, 2009. They have shows nightly at 7 pm, and 8:45 pm. They also have daytime shows Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday at (1:30), 3:25, 5:10. Tickets for adults are $10, seniors and kids are $7.50, and the matinees are $7.50 as well. (The matinees are in parentheses.) Oh, and they specify they are cash only, no plastic!

The Red Vic Movie House is showing "Pig Hunt" on both October 30^th and 31^st. Click here for the full movie description and movie times. This theater is located at 1727 Haight Street San Francisco, CA 94117. Tickets are $9.00 for adults and $6.00 for seniors and kids. The 2 pm show is bargain priced at $7.00.

The Clay Theater located at 2261 Fillmore Street San Francisco, CA 94115 is showing "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" at Midnight on Halloween. You can visit their site, or call them at (415) 267-4893. This is a standard for Halloween night, and many people go in full costume. I have never seen the movie, so I really don't understand the costumes or the tossing of the food that I have heard of. Enjoy!

Sadly, the Shock-it-to-me horror fest that has been at the Castro for the last four years will not run this year. They are looking for a new place to run this annual horror marathon, and will be back for October of 2010. Apparently this is a very popular event!
