Something is stirring in the bowels of Covent Garden… Disturbing visions. Unconfirmed reports of bizarre rituals… That’s right! It’s time for another descent into the most depraved of cinematic depths with our Halloween offerings for 2025.

After asking our members for their favourite horror film tricks and treats, the blighted results include an unholy coupling of classic folk horror with Robert Wynne-Simmons’ The Blood on Satan’s Claw and The Outcasts. Our free members’ screening for the season is Roger Corman’s classic and colourful Edgar Allen Poe adaptation, The Masque of the Red Death.

And we haven’t forgotten our little monsters, with Pay What You Can screenings of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and, for Día de los Muertos, The Book of Life.

Parts of The Garden Cinema could well be included in Site&Sound‘s exploration of the architectural uncanny in cinema. Whilst Zodiac Film Club returns to The Garden Cinema with Cindy Sherman’s pulpy 90s satirical slasher, Office Killer.

Select Japan has selected a truly terrifying J-horror double bill of Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Cure and Pulse.

Our resident crypt keeper of the cult and forbidden, Video Bazaar, invites you to explore the darker side of celebrity obsession with the classic German chiller Der Fan. And our new music focused strand, Composing Cinema, begins with a screening in celebration of Elisabeth Lutyens’ experimental score for the British horror classic, The Skull.

Dare to enter our Members’ Halloween quiz? As last year’s winners have mysteriously vanished, there’s every chance of claiming the cursed chalice. Even more dubious prizes can be acquired at our very first Franken-BINGO! Who knows what will emerge from our cauldron of ill wishes?

For those who want a truly hands-on experience, Foley Nights are back with an especially gruesome horror sound effects workshop.
