Free outdoor screening of 'The Addams Family' at Skylawn, the rooftop park in downtown Houston, with food and drinks from POST Market.
POST is screening The Addams Family at Skylawn on Saturday, November 7, as part of its Movie Nights on the Lawn series. It's a PG-rated family movie, so it works if you're bringing kids along, but it's just as easy to go with a group of friends. The movie is the animated version of the family we all know—the creepy, kooky, and altogether spooky clan—and it's rated PG, which keeps it in the safe zone for a mixed crowd.
If you haven't been, Skylawn is the rooftop park at POST, right in the center of downtown Houston. The whole setup is built around the view: you're watching the movie with the city skyline as your backdrop, which is a pretty great way to spend a Saturday night in the city. The series itself runs through the year, moving from seasonal picks to all-time classics, and the format is designed for groups—they encourage you to bring family and friends along rather than just showing up on your own.
One of the best parts is that you don't have to worry about packing a full picnic. While the movie is running, you can grab food and drinks from POST Market, so you can snack your way through the film without leaving the rooftop. It's a low-stress way to do a movie night: you show up, pick up whatever you're in the mood for, and settle in.

Doors open at 6 PM, and concessions are available from that point on, so you've got plenty of time to get your food and find a spot before things get going. The screening runs from 6 PM to 10 PM. Admission is free, but you do need to RSVP to get in, so make sure you've got that sorted before you head downtown. The movie is The Addams Family, the venue is Skylawn at 401 Franklin Street, and it's all happening Saturday, November 7.
