Halloween Screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show

This very fabulous and very raunchy classic has served as a Halloween staple for theaters and stages across the country. Part musical, part horror film, this movie chronicles an innocent couple as they venture through a creepy castle, where the residents sing and dance to the songs of cannibalism, murder, bisexuality.

The Picture House, in Pelham, New York, will be screening The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Oct. 31 at both 10 p.m. and midnight.

This theatrical tour boasts itself as the only indoor Halloween venue in the county of Westchester. Jay Ghoul’s House of Curiosities is a walking tour of the historic Lyndhurst Mansion, a wonder of gothic architecture equipped with décor of its time.

Spectators are taken on the tour of the mansion by an interesting cast of characters, including The Mummy, The Phantom of the Opera, Frankenstein and his Bride, and even Jay Ghoul’s mother-in-law. This attraction has been called “eerie, spooky and funny, but not bloody” by its creator. Performances are held from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2.
