Don’t forget to BYOB (Bring Your Own Blanket) to the Sheldon Museum’s new “Pajama Night” movie screenings this month.
Sheldon Museum community coordinator Madeline Witek said she hopes to screen two movies per month over the winter, with themes relating to the season or exhibits on display at the facility.
One of the movies will be more suited for adults, and the other for children, Witek said. October’s Halloween screenings are tentatively scheduled for Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 horror thriller “The Birds” on Oct. 17 and the 1993 comedy fantasy “Hocus Pocus” on Oct. 24.
In November, Witek intends to screen the 1987 war comedy “Good Morning Vietnam” in conjunction with the KHNS radio exhibit, which opens Friday.
“A movie theater is a really great place to come together as a community. It’s a nice, fun winter activity,” Witek said.
Witek is encouraging film-goers to don their comfy clothes or pajamas, and bring along a blanket or pillow to snuggle up with. There will also be seating available, she said.
The event is free and Witek said she hopes to sell popcorn to enhance the movie theater experience. “We’re hoping for this to be a regular event if it proves to be popular,” she said.
