After several months of never-ending heatwaves, autumn is approaching, and it can only mean one thing: Halloween is officially on the way. Naturally, Taste Film has prepared something special for you. So why not embrace the cosy vibes with a selection of autumnal classics on the big screen? Plus, you can eat every iconic moment directly off your plate as it happens in front of you.
Taste Film has screened some of the most-loved movies like Wicked, Ratatouille, and Paddington. This time of the year, they have a curated line-up celebrating the darker side of cinema with a selection of iconic titles, such as The Lost Boys, Hocus Pocus, Sinners and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
How does Taste Film work?
Some films are simply made for Halloween. No matter how many times you’ve seen them, October always brings them back for some spine-chilling thrills. The immersive experience is here to elevate the experience to a whole new level with several spooky screening sessions available throughout the city.
Taste Film screened some of the most-loved blockbusters at Parlour in Kensal Green, The Refinery in the Citypoint building in Moorgate, and The Moniker on Fenchurch Avenue, at the heart of London’s business centre. However, forget the bog-standard popcorn; here, you’ll be served a terrific multi-course meal with a drink, timed to the film. Plus, vegan and gluten-free menu options are available.
