Booz-e, Bites & Frights: Sinners and Blade

Halloween week is when the Victorian houses of Heritage Square Museum earn their reputation. Street Food Cinema's annual adults-only series, Booz-e, Bites & Frights, sets up horror double features among the old buildings, and the Friday, October 23 night pairs Sinners and Blade. If you are putting together things to do in Los Angeles before Halloween, this is one of the few that combines two films, dinner and a costume contest in one ticket.

When: Friday, October 23, 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 night out. The organizer describes haunted pathways, mansion tours, costume contests, food trucks and themed bars alongside the screenings. Street Food Cinema is known for treating the movie as one piece of a bigger evening, so plan on arriving at doors rather than showtime. The official schedule notes the film start time and pre-show entertainment are listed on the event page, and the source for this post does not give an exact start for either feature, so confirm before you go.

Sinners and Blade make a fitting double bill for the setting: both are R-rated vampire stories, and watching them on a museum lawn with old wooden houses behind the screen suits the mood. Expect a crowd that dressed up for it. The costume contest means the lawn will be full of people who took the theme seriously.

Tickets and practical info

Tickets start at $45, and the price likely climbs for premium seating or add-ons, so check the ticket page for what each level includes. Bring a lawn chair or blanket if the venue allows them, and layer up. Outdoor screenings in late October cool off quickly after sunset, even in LA.

Heritage Square sits along Homer Street in the Montecito Heights area near the Arroyo Seco, a short drive from downtown and Highland Park. Parking at events like this can be limited, so a rideshare or an early arrival helps. Food trucks and bars on site mean you do not need to eat beforehand.

If you are scanning LA events this weekend for something with a Halloween edge, the Friday Sinners and Blade night is the first of the weekend's screenings. The same series continues Saturday, October 24 with a different pair of films, so you can pick the lineup you like better. The listing we found comes from We Like LA's weekly roundup, so verify times and availability on the Street Food Cinema site before buying.
