Movie: The Addams Family

The Addams Family is screening at the Plaza Branch of the Kansas City Public Library on Friday, October 16, at 1 PM. It's a free showing, so you can just show up and watch it without worrying about a ticket.

The screening is part of the library's Pumpkin Palooza and Halloween Happenings series, which fills the season with pumpkin painting competitions, crafts, games, and snacks alongside movie screenings in the library's meeting rooms. It's one of several events they've got running throughout October, so if you're in the mood for more than just a movie, there's usually something else to do around the branch. Costumes are encouraged, though they aren't required—so you can go all out or just come as you are.

If you're a fan of the library's film programming, it's worth knowing they also run free movies at the Durwood Film Vault, which is an original bank vault converted into a 28-seat movie theater inside the Central Library. Between the Vault and the seasonal screenings like this one, there's a fair amount of free cinema to find across the system.

The Addams Family plays Friday, October 16, at 1 PM at the Plaza Branch, in the Truman Forum Auditorium. It's free.
