Halloween is only one day in October, but it certainly doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate it all month. From haunted locations, attractions, and even hayrides, everything seems to be haunted during the month of October. Seeing that today is Friday the 13th, we thought it would be the perfect time to highlight local theaters showing some the scariest movies of all-time. So grab a large tub of popcorn to hide behind and enjoy these horror classics on the big screen.

Michigan Theater

The classic Michigan Theater in downtown Ann Arbor is having not one, but two Halloween inspired movie series throughout October.
