Waterloo’s Plaza Community Cinema is getting ready for a spooky evening out this month, lining up a Halloween Family Special for its popular retro Plaza 80s night.
Taking place on Saturday 31st October, the volunteer-run venue is welcoming audiences back to 1984 with a big-screen screening of the classic comedy Ghostbusters.
Organisers are pulling out all the stops for the seasonal celebration. Fancy dress is heavily encouraged, with sweets, treats, and prizes up for grabs for the best-dressed individuals and families who turn up on the night.
That is not all. The Plaza has teamed up with The Merseyside Ghostbusters, who will be in attendance throughout the evening to make sure no ghouls cause any trouble.
Before the film begins at 7:00pm, local favourite Nick Gartland will play a special Halloween-themed DJ set from 6:00pm, spinning family-friendly seasonal favourites alongside classic 80s tracks. Doors open at 5:45pm, and a licensed bar will be open for adults wanting to enjoy a drink.
What to expect
Directed by Ivan Reitman and starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis, and Annie Potts, Ghostbusters follows three eccentric scientists who become New York’s first paranormal exterminators. As they battle ghosts, ghouls, and supernatural chaos, they attempt to save the city from an ancient evil.
Packed with action, laughs, and unforgettable moments, it remains a defining family favourite of the decade.
