NYC’s Movies Under the Stars program brought free movie screenings to NYC residents this past summer, and they’re here to do it again with a Halloween twist. This month they set out to bring more than 150 film screenings to various parks and playgrounds throughout the five boroughs, and there’s still some time to catch one yourself…if you’re brave enough (though, most of them are family-friendly, so you shouldn’t get too spooked!)
