Cathode Cinema Halloween Party at 2220 Arts

Cathode Cinema is doing it again. The Halloween party returns this year and takes over 2220 Arts + Archives on Halloween night, Saturday, October 31. If you are sorting out things to do in Los Angeles for the holiday, this one pairs film, music and costumes in a single room.

When: Saturday, October 31, 2026, 8:00 PM to 11:45 PM Where: 2220 Arts + Archives, 2220 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90057 Tickets: $25.00 through DICE

What to expect

The organizers describe a full night of screenings, music, dancing, costumes and drinks, plus "whatever else we decide to drag into the building from the graveyard." The poster leans into vintage horror, with a skeleton costume and a Frankenstein mask under blood-red lettering, so expect a spooky, retro-movie mood rather than a generic club night.

More details were promised closer to the date, and the lineup and film program were not published when this post was written. Check the DICE page for updates before you go, since the announced extras may change what the evening looks like.

Costumes and the crowd

Halloween is the whole point here. The invitation to come in costume is part of the pitch, and a venue that usually hosts art and archive programming makes a good backdrop for a themed party. Wear something you can dance in, and bring a layer if you plan to step outside between sets.

Getting there and practical info

The address is on Beverly Boulevard, just west of the downtown core, an area with a lot of street parking restrictions on busy nights. Rideshare is the easiest way to arrive and leave, especially if you are drinking. Tickets go through DICE, so keep the ticket on your phone and charge it before you head out. The listing shows the event ending at 11:45 PM, which is earlier than many Halloween parties, so plan to arrive near the start.

The venue is listed here as TBA because the ticket page does not name a venue, but the poster and the event description both point to 2220 Arts + Archives at the address above.
