Booz-e, Bites & Frights: Jennifer's Body Night

Saturday is the second night of Street Food Cinema's annual adults-only series, Booz-e, Bites & Frights, at Heritage Square Museum. The lineup trades vampires for a pair of horror comedies: Jennifer's Body and Bodies Bodies Bodies. For anyone building a list of things happening in Los Angeles during Halloween week, a double bill among Victorian houses is a hard setting to beat.

When: Saturday, October 24, 2026, doors at 5:30 PM Where: Heritage Square Museum, 3800 Homer St, Los Angeles, CA 90031 Tickets: From $45

What to expect

The series is billed as an adults-only evening. The organizer pitches it as more than a screening, with the museum's historic buildings as the backdrop and food and drink built into the night. The source for this post does not spell out the film start times or the full list of extras, so check the ticket page for the schedule before you go.

The two films make a good pairing. Both mix dark humor with horror and a bit of social satire, and both land well with a crowd that came dressed for the season. Watching them outdoors, with old wooden houses behind the screen, gives the night a mood a regular theater cannot match. Expect plenty of costumes and plenty of people quoting lines.

Tickets and practical info

Tickets start at $45, and the price may rise for premium spots or add-ons, so look at what each level includes. Doors open at 5:30 PM, which leaves time to settle in, eat and wander before the first film. Late October evenings cool off fast after sunset, even in LA, so bring layers. A blanket or low chair is a smart idea if the venue permits them.

Heritage Square sits on Homer Street in Montecito Heights, near the Arroyo Seco and a short drive from downtown and Highland Park. Parking at events like this can be tight, so a rideshare or an early arrival helps.

If you are scanning LA events this weekend for something with a Halloween edge, this is the Saturday option. The Friday, October 23 night of the same series pairs Sinners and Blade, so you can choose the lineup you like better. The listing comes from We Like LA's weekly roundup, so confirm times and availability before buying.
