Free outdoor screening of the animated film Corpse Bride as part of the Summer Movies in the Park series at Mount Hope Cemetery.
Corpse Bride plays at Mount Hope Cemetery on Saturday, October 17, as part of the Summer Movies in the Park series. It's a stop-motion fantasy romance about a shy groom who accidentally proposes to a mysterious bride from the Land of the Dead; as he discovers her story, he learns about love, loyalty and following his heart. The movie's gothic, whimsical tone fits the venue perfectly.
The screening is part of San Diego's tradition of free outdoor movies, which the city frames as an annual custom that brings family-friendly films to parks across the county. It draws on the nostalgia of old-school drive-ins, but with blankets, picnic snacks and a sky full of stars instead of cars. Most drive-in theaters are now a memory, with only one remaining in San Diego County, so the experience lives on through pre-event activities, no tickets and no cars.

Because it's an outdoor screening, the setup is low-key: bring your own blankets and snacks to settle in. The movie starts at 5:30 PM at Mount Hope Cemetery in Southeastern San Diego, and admission is free.
