September Cinematery: Dark Shadows

Loading Events

Vampires who awake after centuries of slumber. Cemeteries at night. Tim Burton dark comedies. The three were made for each other. We hope that you will accept our invitation and come enjoy a humble showing of all three for a screening of Dark Shadows. Originally a 1960s vampire soap opera of the same name,  Johnny Depp jumped at the chance to star in the lead role in the remake of one of his childhood favorites. With the persuasive powers of a vampire himself, Depp even convinced his longtime friend and collaborator Tim Burton to direct this quirky fish out of water re-imagining of the 60s classic. We hope that you will join us for the conclusion of the Summer of Surreal and please, bring plenty of steak to ward off any vampires who might be among the attendees.

Cinematery is our annual outdoor summer film screenings. Held on the cemetery grounds, this one-of-a-kind event allows you to enjoy the ambiance of the cemetery after dark while taking in a classic film with friends and family. So pack your chairs or picnic blanket and whatever tasty treats you enjoy and plan to join us for an exclusive picnic at a gorgeous Washington landmark. Join us for an evening under the stars!

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. Times are adjusted for earlier sundown times.

Reservations are required. The recommended donation is $10 per person, although you are welcome to give more.

You can purchase your tickets HERE!

We would like to thank our community partner and neighbor Fulcrum Properties Group for sponsoring the Cinematery screen and complimentary popcorn.
