Valleyween Cinema: Hocus Pocus in Mission Hills

Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, and Andres Pico Adobe Park in Mission Hills is spending it as an open-air movie theater. Valleyween Cinema closes out its two-night run on October 31 with Hocus Pocus, the 1993 comedy about three Salem witches loose in the modern world. If you are sorting through things to do in Los Angeles on Halloween night, this one folds the candy, the costumes and the movie into a single evening in the San Fernando Valley.

When: Saturday, October 31, 2026. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. and the film begins at 7:30 p.m. Where: Andres Pico Adobe Park, 10940 Sepulveda Blvd, Mission Hills Tickets: Sold through My Valley Pass, linked from the Discover Los Angeles listing Price: Not listed on the event page, so check the ticket link for current pricing

What the ticket includes

The listing spells out what a ticket covers, so there is little to buy once you are inside:

• Trick-or-treating at spooky stations, with candy included
• A meet and greet with a witch
• A dance party with the GEC Street Team
• Unlimited popcorn and drinks (water or soda)
• VIP restrooms

The poster credits the Valley Kids Club and My Valley Pass, so expect a community-run evening aimed at families. It is the second half of the weekend: the same park shows Hotel Transylvania the night before, on October 30, for anyone who wants to make a double feature out of it.

Seating and what to bring

Seating is first come, first served, and chairs are not included. Bring folding chairs, blankets or low camp seats, and plan to arrive close to the 5:30 p.m. gate time if you want a good sightline. Arriving early also gives kids time to work through the candy stations and the dance floor before the movie starts. Valley evenings cool off after sunset in late October, so pack a jacket or an extra layer for everyone.

Costumes fit the theme. With a witch on hand for photos, expect plenty of Sanderson sisters, mummies and vampires in the crowd, and it is worth dressing for the weather as much as the occasion.

Weather and getting there

This is an outdoor event. If the San Fernando Valley sees bad weather that day, the organizers point guests to the My Valley Pass website for the latest status and say they will email if the event has to be rescheduled, so check your inbox before you leave. Prices on the listing are subject to change without notice.

Parking and arrival details are not spelled out on the listing, so give yourself extra time on Halloween night, when Sepulveda Boulevard and the surrounding streets tend to be busier than usual. For anyone building a plan around LA events this weekend, pair this with an earlier daytime stop and arrive at the park with the kids already in costume.
