StarLite Cinema to feature Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Trick or treat? StarLite Cinema presented by M.C. Ginsberg has both.

Fans of the supernatural can join in on the festive spirit and watch Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind while sitting under the stars this weekend.

The cinema will present the film at dusk Friday at the Riverside Festival Stage in Lower City Park.

The pre-show entertainment will begin at 6 p.m. and include a mashed-potato sculpting contest.

Tickets for the event are $5.

Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller Psycho will be shown just in time for Halloween on Oct. 19.

The outdoor movies are shown via high-definition video on a 20-foot screen with surround sound.

Refreshments, including beer and pizza, are also available for purchase.
