The Cineworld Horror Season is nearing its conclusion, but to add to the excitement, we will have a Cineworld Classic Secret Screaming on October 31st. Let’s take a look at some potential movies for this special event.
Much like the previous Secret Screamings that Cineworld have been bringing us, this one for Halloween is going to be something special, and unlike the previous ones, this one is bringing us a classic movie, which could be anything! It’s a little tough trying to work out what the film could be that is going to be shown, but we thought it would be fun to come up with some ideas and a prediction for the Cineworld Classic Secret Screaming.
Things to remember with the Secret Screamings/Screeings is that the runtime on the website can be misleading, the listing currently says the runtime is 90 mins and an 18 certificate!
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
Directed by horror legend Wes Craven, several teenagers are killed by Freddy Krueger, who torments them in their dreams. Nancy and her friends need to solve the mystery, or they shall be killed too.
You’re Next (2013)
Aubrey and Paul invite their family to their estate to celebrate their anniversary. Their party turns into a nightmare when the family is attacked by masked assassins. Directed by Adam Wingard.
Poltergeist (1982)
A family’s dream home turns into their worst nightmare when evil spirits rise to torment them and possess the soul of their innocent daughter. Directed by Tobe Hooper.
The Cabin in the Woods (2011)
Five college friends head out to a remote cabin for a getaway, but things don’t go as planned when they start getting killed. They soon discover that there is more to the cabin than it seems.
The Exorcist (Director’s Cut) (1973) – Our Guess
An all-time horror classic from director William Friedkin, an actress notices dangerous changes in the behaviour and physical makeup of her 12-year-old daughter. Meanwhile, a young priest begins to doubt his faith while dealing with his mother’s sickness.
The Thing (1983)
You can’t wring with some classic John Carpenter, and The Thing is a fan favourite. A research team finds an alien being that has fallen from the sky and is starting to hunt them down. Things take a sinister turn when they realise that the creature can take the shape of its victims.
Halloween (1978)
More horror delights from John Carpenter with the ultimate slasher movie. Six-year-old Michael kills his teenage sister Judith in 1963 on Hallowe’en night. He spent 15 years in a mental hospital. A set of events in 1978 led to his escape. A killing spree begins.
Alien (1979)
The Ridley Scott Sci-Fi/Horror is still one that makes people jump at screenings. The crew of a spacecraft, Nostromo, intercept a distress signal from a planet and sets out to investigate it. However, to their horror, they are attacked by an alien, which later invades their ship.
Dawn of the Dead (1978)
George A. Romero‘s sequel to the amazing Night of the Living Dead is an all-time classic zombie movie. As hordes of zombies swarm over the U.S., the terrified populace tries everything in their power to escape the attack of the undead, but neither cities nor the countryside proves safe. In Pennsylvania, radio-station employee Stephen (David Emge) and his girlfriend, Francine (Gaylen Ross), escape in the station helicopter, accompanied by two renegade SWAT members, Roger and Pete. The group retreats to the haven of an enclosed shopping centre to make what could be humanity’s last stand.
The Evil Dead (1981)
Sam Raimi‘s The Evil Dead is a movie with scares, laughs and some brilliant slapstick moments with Bruce Campbell. Five friends travel to a remote cabin in the woods where they play a tape with incantations. This releases the demons which possess them in succession until only one is left fighting for survival.
The Wicker Man – (1973)
Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) arrives on the small Scottish island of Summerisle to investigate the report of a missing child. A conservative Christian, the policeman observes the residents’ frivolous sexual displays and strange pagan rituals, particularly the temptations of Willow (Britt Ekland), daughter of the island magistrate, Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee). The more Sergeant Howie learns about the islanders’ strange practices, the closer he gets to tracking down the missing child.

What was the Cineworld Classic Secret Screaming?
Well, folks, Cineworld completely turned the screening on its head and the film that was shown had the most walkouts I’ve ever seen at a Secret Screaming!
Cineworld, in their wisdom, decided to show the movie, Terrifier 3! This is not a movie for the faint of heart, and not only that, but it’s obviously the third movie, so if you haven’t seen the first two (especially the second one), you won’t have any clue how the characters fit together with the battle against Art the Clown!
There were lots of groans when the title card came up, and I’m expecting that a lot of people were hoping for a “classic” movie and not one that was out in 2024! We must have had over 30 walkouts at Llandudno Cineworld. The Terrifier movies are ones that you must want to see, and not really be surprised by them. The third one is a stomach-churner right from the start.
As it was Halloween, I’m not sure if this was a Trick or Treat ploy by Cineworld, but it certainly seemed to backfire on this occasion!
