2025 Cinematery: Mausoleums & Monsters
Cinematery is back at Historic Congressional Cemetery, bringing classic monster related films to romp through the grounds with Mausoleums and Monsters! Kick off summer on Friday, May 23rd with the iconic shark thriller Jaws—just when you thought it was safe to go back in the grass. Then, on Friday, June 13th, delight the whole family with the heartwarming chaos of Monsters, Inc..
We’ll turn up the heat again on Friday, August 29th with the sand-swept thrills of The Mummy, and wrap up the season with paranormal perfection on Friday, September 12th as Ghostbusters haunts the cemetery in style. Bring a blanket, your bravest friends, and settle in for a movie night like no other—where the stars shine bright and the dead don’t mind a little company.
In the event of rain, the film will screen on the following Friday evening (please note the below rain dates, May 30, June 20, September 3, September 19).
Feel free to bring your own beverages and food. Alcohol is permitted and will also be for sale. Keep in mind that all guests will be ID checked upon entry. We also recommend bringing your own blankets, low lying lawn chairs, etc. Please do NOT bring chairs that may obstruct the view of those behind you.
Gates open about an hour before sunset and the movie begins at sunset.
Cinematery Guidelines
- No dogs, please!
- Although it is an outdoor space, please no smoking.
- Please wear appropriate footwear as many of the seating areas will be in the dark after the sun goes down and the movie starts
- While the tombstones in the seating area may look sturdy, it is very hazardous to lean on or have prolonged contact with them. Please, do not touch or lean on any tombstones.
- In case of severe weather, please watch the website and our social media accounts for updated information about rain delays or cancellations.
Reservations are required. The recommended donation is $10 per person, although you are welcome to give more.
