Lots of iconic spooky films are returning to Greater Manchester cinemas this Halloween, alongside some new releases.

Now that October is here, there’s no denying that the spooky season is right around the corner, and Vue has announced that a whole host of creepy classics and the latest frightening flicks set to hit the big screen over the next couple of weeks – ranging from undeniable horrors, to family-friendly gems perfect for viewers of all ages.

Several cinemas across Greater Manchester will be taking part, including Vues in Manchester Quayside, Printworks, Bolton, Bury, and Altrincham.

Disney’s much-loved Hocus Pocus kicks off the lineup this month, returning to cinemas from today (2 October), before supernatural classics The Others and The Craft are back to terrify moviegoers from 16 October.

Iconic slasher film Scream – which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year – also returns to cinemas from 23 October.

Cult-classic Donnie Darko and Guillermo Del Toro’s masterpiece Pan’s Labyrinth round out the re-releases on 30 October, to celebrate their 25th and 20th anniversaries, respectively.

Then, when it comes to new releases, you can settle in to watch new psychological thriller, Verity, adapted from the acclaimed Colleen Hoover novel of the same name and starring Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson, also arriving today (2 October).

Meanwhile, Ghosts: The Possession of Button House, based on the beloved and award-winning BBC comedy, arrives on 23 October.

Other new releases include The Other Mommy, DC’s Clayface, and Crawlers.

And if the lineup wasn’t good enough as it is on its own, film lovers at Vue Quayside, Printworks, and Bolton can also enjoy Vue’s biggest and comfiest seat, the ‘Ultra Lux’ – which are strategically positioned to give the best possible view of the big screen with extra-wide armrests, a personal table for snacks and drinks, and a state-of-the-art beverage cooler.

“This October, we’re thrilled to be able to put on a raft of new and classic films for fans of scary and spooky films,” commented Mike Anton, who is the General Manager at Vue Manchester Printworks.
