Experience Georges Island after hours for a movie night unlike any other! Hop aboard for an evening trip to Georges Island National Historic Site and settle in under the night sky for one of two unforgettable Halloween-season screenings.
On October 16, enjoy a screening of The Craft, the cult-favourite supernatural thriller that follows four teenage outsiders who discover the power of witchcraft and form a coven, using their newfound abilities to gain confidence, seek revenge, and reshape their world. But as their powers grow stronger, so do the consequences, leading to a dark and unforgettable battle for control. Surrounded by Halifax Harbour, the island's historic fortifications, and the dark waters of the Atlantic, Georges Island provides the perfect setting to experience this atmospheric 1990s classic. As darkness falls and the harbour is illuminated by the lights of the city, you'll be immersed in an environment that perfectly complements the film's blend of mystery, supernatural intrigue, and gothic style.
On October 30, experience The Thing, John Carpenter's legendary sci-fi horror classic. The film follows a group of researchers stationed in Antarctica who encounter a mysterious extraterrestrial lifeform capable of perfectly imitating any living being. As paranoia spreads and trust begins to break down, the team must confront an enemy that could be anyone among them. The island's after-dark atmosphere, surrounded by the waters of Halifax Harbour, creates the perfect backdrop for this tense and suspenseful thriller, heightening the film's sense of isolation, uncertainty, and dread.
Whether you're joining us for one film or both, Georges Island offers a one-of-a-kind outdoor movie experience where the setting becomes part of the story itself.
A few things to keep in mind: There is no seating provided on the island, so bring your own chair or blanket, find your spot and get comfortable for a truly unique night at the movies. As the sun goes down, temperatures around Halifax Harbour and on Georges Island can get quite cool, especially this time of year, so be sure to dress warmly and come prepared for cool to cold conditions. Concessions will be available for purchase on the island.
