Name That Nightmare Horror Movie Passport

Marcus Theatres is bringing back its Name That Nightmare horror movie passport for the Halloween season, with screenings running Wednesday, October 21, from 7 PM to 9:30 PM. It's playing at two locations: Crossroads Cinema at 200 Hutchinson Ave in Columbus and Pickerington Cinema at 1776 Hill Road North in Pickerington.

The whole thing works like a movie punch card for horror fans. You buy a passport and use it to see a series of surprise horror films throughout the season, rather than one single night. The marketing leans on the heavy hitters—Freddy, Jason, Ghostface, and Michael Myers—so expect the kind of slashers and supernatural stuff that usually defines the genre. Each passport comes with a digital code you can redeem on the Marcus Theatres website, in person, or through their app.

There are two ways to play it. You can go for four surprise movies for $18, or upgrade to a ticket for all five for $20. If you're planning to see more than four anyway, the extra couple of bucks for that fifth movie is a no-brainer. Since the titles are kept under wraps, the draw is as much about the surprise as the movies themselves—you won't know exactly what's on the screen until you're in the seat.

If you're in the mood for a horror marathon this October, the passport is a low-stakes way to build one. It's $5 for the passport itself, with the movie bundles starting at $18 for four films or $20 for all five. Screenings run from 7 PM to 9:30 PM on Wednesday, October 21, at both the Crossroads and Pickerington locations.
