Scaredy cats might want to avoid this one.

One of the spookiest locations in Cork is creaking open its gates this Halloween to screen a selection of scary movies for all ages.

Cork City Gaol, one of Ireland’s most atmospheric and historic sites, will transform into the ultimate spooky movie destination, showing four spine-tingling films within the eerie confines of this former prison.

This year’s indoor screenings are set to take place on Wednesday, October 30th and Friday, November 1st, with a thrilling mix of family-friendly frights and classic horror that will make your blood run cold.

Here’s the line-up: 

• Hocus Pocus – Wednesday, October 30th at 7pm

  Finish your spooky season with the film that started it all. John Carpenter’s iconic slasher film will have you gripping your seat as the haunting score echoes through the stone walls of the Gaol.

“This Halloween Movie Series is not just about great films—it’s about immersing yourself in the chilling atmosphere of one of Cork’s most legendary landmarks.” Scenic Cinema’s Simon Murdoch told Yay Cork.

“The Cork City Gaol, with its towering stone walls, labyrinthine corridors, and history steeped in mystery, promises to add an extra layer of fear and excitement to your cinema experience.”
