Seating and food trucks open at 6 p.m. The movie starts at 7 p.m. There will be a costume parade before the movie. After moving to Salem, Mass., teenager Max Dennison explores an abandoned house with his sister Dani and their new friend, Allison. After dismissing a story Allison tells as superstitious, Max accidentally frees a coven of evil witches who used to live in the house. Now, with the help of a magical cat, the kids must steal the witches’ book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal. Learn about outdoor movies throughout the Triangle! Food trucks will be on site. Outside picnics and non-alcoholic drinks are welcome. Uncle Daves Kettle Korn Pineda’s Wood Fired Pizza YoYo Fro Yo Empire Eats

Movies in the Garden at Raleigh Little Theatre on October 8 is an outdoor screening of the classic film Hocus Pocus held in the Stephenson Amphitheatre. Gates open at 6:00 PM for dinner and seating, followed by a costume parade for children before the film begins at 7:00 PM. To keep this outing budget-friendly, purchase your tickets before October 1 to secure the five-dollar early bird rate, as prices double to ten dollars after that date. You can bring your own picnic basket and blankets, but leave any alcohol at home. Parking is available in the lot adjacent to the theatre and along the surrounding streets, which can fill up quickly once gates open. This event makes a fantastic autumn outing because it combines a relaxed dinner on the lawn with a festive activity that lets kids wear their Halloween costumes a few weeks early.
