"Throughout the month of October, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk will have opportunities for spooky entertainment as it resurrects its annual Fright Flicks movie lineup on Wednesdays. Whether it is creepy doppelgangers, masked murderers or vengeful spirits with knives extending from their gloves, all four of these movies are centered around slasher villains, so for those who want to get their adrenaline pumping this season, this is one way to do it."
"Not only has the 2019 film about a vacationing family terrorized by a gang of lookalikes been praised for its blend of horror, dark humor and social commentary, it has an added element of intrigue of Santa Cruz residents: it has several scenes shot around town. Viewers should instantly recognize views of East Cliff Drive, Main Beach and the Boardwalk itself,"
"the Oct. 8 screening will be of the film that asked exactly that: 1996's Scream. Wes Craven's slasher film about a masked serial killer targeting a group of high schoolers who use their knowledge of past slasher films to survive was a big hit upon its release, reviving the horror genre and spawning five sequels with another scheduled for February 2026."
