Free Advance Screening: The Revenge of La Llorona

Horror fans get an early look this month. 1iota is offering free tickets to an advance screening of The Revenge of La Llorona, the latest installment from The Conjuring Universe and the sequel to The Curse of La Llorona. The screening is on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at 6:30 PM in North Hollywood. If you keep a running list of things to do in Los Angeles that cost nothing, this one belongs on it, as long as you can clear the entry rules.

What the screening is

An advance screening means you see the film before it opens to the general public. This one continues the story that began with The Curse of La Llorona, which drew on the Mexican folktale of a weeping woman who haunts the water. The new film is part of the same shared horror universe that gave us The Conjuring, Annabelle and The Nun. 1iota is a free audience service, so these seats are handed out through a request process rather than sold.

The horror-film requirement

This is the unusual part. Guests must have seen at least two of the listed films in a theater. The list on the 1iota page includes:

• 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
• The Conjuring: Last Rites
• Weapons
• Black Phone 2
• Final Destination: Bloodlines
• Nosferatu (2024)
• The Nun II
• The Curse of La Llorona
• Insidious: The Red Door
• Smile 2
• A Quiet Place: Day One
• Annabelle Comes Home
• Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones
• Other Mommy

If you saw even two of those on a big screen, you qualify. The point is to fill the room with people who actually go to scary movies.

Practical info

When: Thursday, October 15, 2026, 6:30 PM Where: North Hollywood, CA (the exact venue is not listed publicly) Age: 17 and up Price: Free

Requests go through the official 1iota page for the screening. The listing gives only "North Hollywood, CA" as the location, so watch for the full address after you request. Free-ticket services routinely overbook, which means a ticket gets you priority in line, not a guaranteed seat. Arrive early and don't make non-refundable plans around getting in.

North Hollywood is easy to reach by the B Line (Red) subway at the NoHo station, and the Hollywood Freeway runs close by. Pair it with dinner nearby if you can, and check the 1iota page for any change before you head out. For more LA events this weekend and beyond, browse the live-audience section of the site.
