• Sounds: Prep a playlist of spooky sounds or Halloween classics to set the mood before the film starts.

If you have a private balcony or patio, decorate with carved pumpkins or twinkling orange fairy lights for added effect. Not only does this create instant Halloween curb appeal, but it's also the perfect spot for pre-movie selfies.
