Frights & Delights at Jet Wine Bar

Jet Wine Bar is running a Halloween movie series called Frights & Delights every Thursday in October, from 7 PM to 10 PM. The screenings take place in the venue's graveyard garden, where they project Halloween classics outdoors. It's a weekly thing, so you can drop in on a random Thursday or make a habit of it throughout the month.

The lineup is built around a mix of moods. On one end, you've got Hocus Pocus, the family-friendly Sanderson sisters classic that's more about the cozy, nostalgic side of the season. On the other, there's Insidious, which leans into the supernatural horror side of things. If you're in the mood for something light, that's your bet; if you'd rather be on edge, go for the other. Since it's a series, you can catch one and then come back the following week for the other.

Because it's outdoors in the graveyard garden, the vibe changes with the weather, and the open-air setting adds its own layer to the experience. It's a casual setup—you're watching a movie on a screen in a garden rather than sitting in a theater, which makes it easy to drift in and out of. The bar serves wine throughout, so you can grab a glass and settle in for the night.

It's free to attend, with no cover and no reservations required, so you can just show up whenever you feel like it. The screenings run every Thursday in October from 7 PM to 10 PM at Jet Wine Bar, 1525 South Street, Philadelphia, PA 19146.
