Delaware River WATERFRONT

Cherry Street Pier is turning into a cozy, creepy movie zone just in time for Halloween! Grab your blankets, get your popcorn ready, and enjoy two nights of haunted flicks, vintage horror, and Halloween vibes—right along the Delaware River. Free and open to the public. All ages welcome. 

Night 1: Mischief & Monsters – Friday, October 17
Feature Film: Gremlins (1984)
Short Films: Frankenstein (1910) & The Haunted Castle (1896)
Kick off the night with two vintage monster shorts that paved the way for spooky cinema. Then, laugh (and scream) your way through Gremlins, a darkly funny holiday-horror classic where things spiral out of control—fast.

Night 2: Haunted & Hysterical – Friday, October 24
Feature Film: House on Haunted Hill (1959)
Short Films: The Tell-Tale Heart (1941) & The Fall of the House of Usher (1928)
Settle in for a night of spine-tingling suspense. Begin with two eerie Edgar Allan Poe adaptations, then watch as Vincent Price hosts the creepiest sleepover ever in House on Haunted Hill—where guests must survive the night for a cash prize.

Parking on-site will be limited due to I-95 CAP construction.
