A drive-in immersive spooky Halloween cinema is coming to Leeds
Think family favourites like Hocus Pocus and Ghostbusters, cult classics like Rocky Horror and Pulp FIction, plus proper horrors It, Scream and The Exorcist
A spooky drive-in Halloween cinema experience is coming to Leeds this October - and it's oging to be showing some of our all-time frightful favourites.
Popping up at Temple Newsam, Leeds, the Daisy Dukes Halloween Spooktacular cinema screenings will bring one of the world's largest outdoor screens for a bone-chilling weekend of scary movies across the 2021 Halloween weekend.
Showing a mixture of teatime family faves, cult classics, and a selection of late-night screenings for the not so faint-hearted, fans of the spooky season can look forward to catching some top-notch films this Halloween.
Daisy Dukes cinema will be screening family favourite Hocus Pocus, 1996 American satirical slasher film Scream, cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the iconic 1973 supernatural horror that is The Exorcist over the weekend.
You'll also be able to catch a screening of the 2017 coming-of-age supernatural horror film It, based on Stephen Fry's novel of the same name, alongside Ghostbusters and Quentin Tarantino's brutal and immersive martial arts film Kill Bill.
And if that wasn't enough to get you excited, organisers have also teamed up with one of the leading Scare Maze brands this year to "unleash holy hell" and help bring each movie to life.

With full-car family saver tickets priced at just £26.50, and two-car ticket prices starting from £31.80, it's well worth a look in - but don't hang about too long, tickets are already going fast with Hocus Pocus nearly sold out at the time of writing.
The event will be covid-secure with physical distancing, individual seating/standing areas and one-way systems in place around the site. Staff will follow all safety protocols as listed by local authorities and use appropriate cleaning materials.
Hand gel stations will be dotted around and tables/booths/seating areas will all be disinfected between sessions. Entry will be contactless using Skiddle RapidScan technology and contactless payments are accepted.

Korn announce huge Leeds gig on first UK tour in a decade
Korn have announced a major Manchester gig as part of a new UK tour – their first in more than a decade.
The nu metal legends will be heading to the First Direct Bank Arena later this year, making a monumental return to British shores.
And they’ve announced very special guests will be joining them on the tour too – support will come from Architects, as well as Youth Code.
Korn burst onto the scene back in 1991 with their seminal self-titled debut album, and have gone on to release a whopping 14 studio albums.
The Californian group have sold more than 40 million albums worldwide, collected two Grammy Awards, and headed out on countless world tours.
They’re often cited by newer bands as a major influence and have pushed the limits of the rock, alternative and metal genres.
The Ringer has described Korn as ‘a genuine movement in a way bands cannot be now’.
As well as performing in Leeds, Korn will play at venues across the UK including in Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, and London.
They’ll be joined by Architects, a British metalcore band who have continued to top the charts even after the tragic death of founding member, guitarist, and principal songwriter Tom Searle.
Korn will be at our very own First Direct Bank Arena on Monday 26 October, with pre-sale tickets available from Tuesday 17 March at 8am, before a general on-sale from Friday 20 March at 8am.
Run, don't walk - as we reckon these tickets will fly off the shelves.
A brand-new frozen yoghurt bar is set to open in Leeds this spring
Clementine Hall
The frozen yoghurt craze is on its way to Leeds as Kefiyo is set to open in Headingley very soon.
It's a phenomenon that has caught the attention of the TikTok girlies, with frozen yoghurt bars popping up in Manchester and going viral online.
The ice cold sweet treat is supposedly 'healthy' and with a slogan of 'eat Clean. feel Light. live Better.' - this new spot in Leeds seems to be going down that route too.m
Kefiyo will be opening in the old Sixes site on Ash Road in Headingley, and although we don't have a confirmed opening date we've got a feeling they'll be 'scooping' very soon.
The space is already sporting a super cute pastel green and pink exterior, and it's exactly matching the aesthetic that you'd expect with froyo.
Kefiyo will offer a range of frozen yoghurt flavours with a whole bunch of toppings for you to customise to your tastebuds, as well as fresh acai bowls.
Situated slap bang in the centre of Headingley, we've got a feeling it'll be very busy with students on their way to their morning lecture or at night for those looking for a sweet treat that doesn't feel too naughty.
We'll keep you updated on more Kefiyo updates as and when we find out.
But in the meantime, you can keep an eye on their socials here. We'll see you soon for a scoop Leeds.
