Cinemagic Halloween Screenings

Cinemagic is back for its 37th festival, with a run of Halloween-themed screenings across Belfast from Monday 26 to Saturday 31 October. Rather than sticking to one cinema, they've spread the programme across three venues: the Ulster Museum, the Belfast Barge and the Queen's Film Theatre, so you'll be moving around the city depending on what you're after.

It kicks off on Monday 26 October with The Woman in Black at 6.30pm, followed by Poltergeist at 9pm. Mid-week brings Papaya on Wednesday 28 October at 11am and Fleak on Thursday 29 October at 11am. Friday 30 October is a busy one, with Corpse Bride and Mr Hullabaloo's Happy Halloween both at 11am, Frankenweenie at 1pm and Bride of Frankenstein at 3pm. Halloween itself, Saturday 31 October, is the biggest day: Coco at 10.30am, Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie at 11am, Hocus Pocus at 1pm, The Craft at 3pm, and the Mark Kermode Film Night at 6pm.

There's a bit of everything in there, from the family-friendly morning slots like Coco and Pooh to the later, darker stuff like The Craft and Poltergeist. If you're taking kids, the morning and early afternoon screenings on Friday and Saturday are your best bet. The whole thing runs from Monday 26 to Saturday 31 October across the Ulster Museum, the Belfast Barge and the Queen's Film Theatre.
