This year, Great Northern once again joins a selection of iconic buildings around Manchester to celebrate Halloween by turning a ghastly green, with a spectacular light installation bringing spooky season to life every evening.
It wouldn’t be Halloween without bone-chilling horror movies, and ODEON Great Northern has something for all scare-seeking film fanatics with a fright-filled schedule of spooky screenings throughout the week and beyond.
Prepare for scares with the long-awaited sequel in the grisly, grinning Smile franchise, or catch a brilliantly menacing Hugh Grant in the cat-and-mouse hostage chiller, Heretic. Fans of gleefully gratuitous gore can revel in Art the Clown’s latest splatter-happy spree with Terrifier 3, or keep it in the family with Brandy’s sinister, scheming mother-in-law in The Front Room. If you’re after a classic Halloween spookfest, why not grab tickets to the 40th anniversary screening of Nightmare on Elm Street, or treat the family to a magical cauldron of creepiness in Hocus Pocus.
