Flippers Cinema and Arcade on Taft Street in Hollywood opens its doors for Monster Luau on Saturday, October 10, starting at noon. Part Halloween festival, part horror convention and part toy show, the event fills the theater with vendors, arcade games and big-screen movies, all in the middle of the day so families can come and go at their own pace.

A noon schedule built for wandering

The schedule is built for wandering: vendors and tables line the lobby, scavenger hunts send kids around the arcade, and costume contests run through the afternoon with a separate category for children. Gaming tournaments add a competitive edge, with prize pools of five hundred dollars for the Smash bracket and another five hundred for the cosplay contest, so the arcade crowd and the costume crowd both have a reason to stay. Raffles and giveaways keep the loop moving, and trick-or-treating runs all day between the booths.

Movies, tickets and the practical details

The theater screens run classic horror franchises throughout the day, and short films play on a loop. Tickets cost fifteen dollars when bought ahead of time, online or in person, and twenty at the door on the day of the event. The cinema sits at 7001 Taft Street in Hollywood, an easy drive for most of Broward. For a family that wants its Halloween fun before sunset, this is the room for it.
