Weird Wednesday: Screamplay

Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar is screening Screamplay as part of its Weird Wednesday series on Wednesday, October 14, 2026. It's a horror movie night, so if you're in the mood for something creepy on a school night, this is where you'll find it. The screening starts at 9:30 PM, which puts it on the later side for a Wednesday, so it's more of a late-night thing than a post-work stop.

If you haven't spent much time there lately, the South Lamar location is in the Lamar Union complex in South Austin. It's grown quite a bit—they've added three brand-new auditoriums, bringing the total up to nine screens. The rooms range from 46 to 198 seats, with 975 seats across the whole place, so depending on which theater you end up in, it can feel like a small room or a proper cinema. It's the kind of spot where you can get your food and drinks delivered right to your seat, so you don't have to miss anything while you're hunting for a snack.

And if you want to keep the night going after the credits roll, there's more right next door. The Highball is part of the same complex, and it's a whole other kind of evening: seven karaoke rooms, a ballroom dance floor and stage, a lounge area, and an outdoor patio. It's a good spot to grab a drink and talk through the movie with whoever you came with before you head home.

So, Screamplay at Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar, Wednesday, October 14, at 9:30 PM. If you're planning to make a night of it, you've got The Highball right there for the after-party.
