    It’s literally one of my favorite things to do in the summer. I’ve been coming for years. I love the atmosphere. They show older movies classic movies, iconic movies. It is such a fun vibe. The only thing that bugs me nowadays is that Amazon holds the entire center part of the grounds so everyone else has to snuggle in around them. Which is definitely kind of a bummer the last few years, They should have selective nights for those Amazon people and let everyone else that doesn’t want to get pushed off to the side be able to come on a day that they’re not there But other than that, I love coming here. I will continue to keep coming here, but I like to be one of those Amazon people and have my own personal set up in the center and have popcorn and stuff catered to me. That would be really cool, but I can’t seem to figure out how to do that so I’m gonna keep being a regular person. And attending these fun movie nights 😊

    I’ve been coming here for years and it’s a fabulous experience. You can either park on the street and wait on the grass until they open the gates and we’d like to get there two hours before the gates open because the spots on the grass by the screen in the cemetery fill up really fast. This place is always pretty much overbooked, but it’s a really fun experience. Fun photo booth DJ dancing beautiful light displays everywhere. Cocktails food, snacks and everybody’s in a joyful mood. You can also pay for parking but I think it’s $30 and it’s around the back of the cemetery. I really wish they would let us in sooner so we can enjoy our Picnic and our time there. We usually only get about an hour and 15 minutes before the movie starts. And the time it takes to walk from the entrance to the actual movie spot takes 15 minutes. Bring your own food and snacks blankets pillows, snuggly stuff to keep you warm! Ticket price is 50 and that includes the fees. It’s one of the more expensive outdoor movies. This time we came on Halloween, which was really special. A lot of really really fun, photo options and big bowls of fabulous Halloween candy. Then the special guest was the actor from the movie scream, Matthew Lillard, and he gave a great speech at the beginning of the movie. I videotaped it for y’all! Highly recommend This activity!

    Very fun and excellent for date night! I recently saw "The Matrix" with my partner and we really enjoyed it. I suggest getting there early to get a good viewing spot on the lawn. The event was very well set up and convenient restroom situation as well!

    This is such a great event! You absolutely have to do this during the summer. Yes, it's in a graveyard, but it's so beautifully designed. You're surrounded by trees. There's fountains and pools, it's really beautiful. Blanket or get fancy and bring low chairs and a table and set up your cheese and charcuterie and champagne and enjoy a fabulous night out.

    Loved it! I highly recommend visiting Cinespia at least once — it’s such a unique and unforgettable experience! Watching Silence of the Lambs under the stars, surrounded by the historic beauty of Hollywood Forever Cemetery, was honestly surreal. We managed to find street parking nearby without too much trouble — totally doable if you’re okay walking a bit and want to save some money. Arrive about 30 minutes early to snag a great spot on the lawn — it makes a big difference! Bring your own food, drinks, and cozy setup (blankets, low chairs, etc.). Pro tip: bring waterproof blankets or a tarp — the grass can get damp, especially later in the evening. Trust me, your future self will thank you!
