We’re going to put a spell on you! And kiddies beware…we have three of the wildest witches ever at the Capitol Theatre on October 4th for our next Family Movie Night Series installment. Join us if you dare for the Halloween classic, Hocus Pocus.
Since 1993, Halloween hasn’t been the same. It is safe to say, that if you don’t watch Hocus Pocus in October, then you really didn’t celebrate Halloween. Did you? We encourage our ghouls, goblins, and witches – of ALL ages – to dress up for the show!
The Capitol Theatre will have Kickin’ True BBQ food truck under the marquee for a quick and easy dinner with the family from 5 – 6:30. Concessions will also be available throughout the movie. Doors open at 5:30, and the movie begins at 6:30.
Whether you’re a zombie, an immortal and talking cat, or just an unlucky trick-or-treater, you can help us stop the Sanderson sisters at the Capitol Theatre!

This Friday during the DADA 1st Friday Gallery Hop, the Mast Store in Winston-Salem is shining a spotlight on the Old Salem Museums & Gardens and its upcoming lantern tours.
In the early years of Salem, a night watchman wandered the streets to keep the community safe. Devastating fires, medical emergencies, and unexplained happenings – he saw it all. Grab a lantern and hear the tales of yore as a night watchman guides you through the streets of Old Salem this Halloween.
Learn about this event and others that immerse visitors in memorable experiences at Old Salem.
