On Saturday, October 29, the Fair will be showing Halloween movies all day.
Beginning at 2:00 p.m., the Fair will show Casper. Rated PG, Casper (voiced by Malachi
Pearson) is a kind young ghost who peacefully haunts a mansion in Maine. When
specialist James Harvey (Bill Pullman) arrives to communicate with Casper and his
fellow spirits, he brings along his teenage daughter, Kat (Christina Ricci). Casper
quickly falls in love with Kat, but their budding relationship is complicated not only by his
transparent state, but also by his troublemaking apparition uncles and their mischievous
antics.
The 4:00 p.m. showing will be Hocus Pocus rated PG. After moving to Salem, Mass.,
teenager Max Dennison (Omri Katz) explores an abandoned house with his sister Dani
(Thora Birch) and their new friend, Allison (Vinessa Shaw). After dismissing a story
Allison tells as superstitious, Max accidentally frees a coven of evil witches (Bette
Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy) who used to live in the house. Now, with
the help of a magical cat, the kids must steal the witches' book of spells to stop them
from becoming immortal.
The movies will conclude with a 7:00 p.m. showing of the newly released Ghostbusters
(PG-13). Ghostbusters makes its return, rebooted with a cast of hilarious new
characters. Thirty years after the beloved original franchise took the world by storm,
director Paul Feig brings his fresh take to the supernatural comedy, joined by some of
the funniest actors working today – Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon,
Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth.
“There are some great Halloween movies available and we thought it would be fun to
showcase some of those movies,” said Melinda Brown, Fair Manager. “We picked
movies the whole family could enjoy throughout the day – hope you can join us for one,
two or three!”
Tickets are $2/Adults (per movie) and $1/Kids (per movie). Concessions will be
available including the $1 snack pack of a small bag of popcorn and Capri Sun drink
and kids and adults are welcome to dress in family friendly costumes.
