POSESSION (18+) Horror Screening at The Regent Theater

Halloween season in Los Angeles is a good time to see a scary movie with a room full of strangers, and The Regent Theater in downtown is offering one on Sunday night. The Cinegogue and Footlong Development present POSESSION, a horror screening restricted to guests 18 and older.

If you are scanning for things to do in Los Angeles in the last two weeks of October, this is the kind of night that fits: a themed film, a real theater, and an evening that ends at a reasonable hour before the work week.

When: Sunday, October 18, 2026, 7:00 PM Where: The Regent Theater, 448 S. Main St., Los Angeles, CA 90013 Age: 18+ Tickets: Through Ticketmaster (link below)

What to expect

The listing classifies the night as a horror film event, and the age limit tells you to expect adult content. The presenters, The Cinegogue and Footlong Development, are the ones to follow if you want to know what else they program. The listing does not publish a price, a runtime or any guest names, so check the ticket page before you go rather than assuming a Q&A or live extras.

A screening in a venue like this is a different experience from streaming at home. Horror plays better with a crowd: the gasps, the nervous laughter and the one person who cannot stop talking back to the screen are all part of it.

Getting there

The Regent sits on Main Street in the Historic Core of downtown, a short walk from the Pershing Square and Civic Center areas. Metro rail stops nearby make the train an easy option for a Sunday evening, and several paid lots are within a couple of blocks. Street parking in this part of downtown is limited and rules change after hours, so read the signs carefully.

Plan to arrive early enough to get through the door and settle in before the 7 PM start. Bring a valid photo ID, since the show is 18+ and the venue may check.

Tickets and planning

Tickets are sold through the official Ticketmaster page for the event. Sales and prices can change as the date gets closer, so confirm the details there. If you are putting together a list of LA events this weekend, this one lands on the Sunday slot, which pairs well with an early dinner in the neighborhood beforehand.
