Halloween movies will be shown at the Wells Fargo Center in South Philly from Oct. 28 through Nov. 1 as part of a socially distant event called Movies on Broad: Fright Week.
If you're searching for a big scare this Halloween, look no further than the gigantic 4K scoreboard at the Wells Fargo Center in South Philadelphia.
The arena will host the Movies on Broad: Fright Week event from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1, featuring screenings of several popular and classic Halloween films.
The socially-distant event has been made possible by the city's modifications on indoor gatherings, which allow up to 250 people in large indoor arenas. With a typical capacity of nearly 20,000, those who attend these "Movies on Broad" screenings will have a rare experience at the Wells Fargo Center.
The arena's center-hung, 4K kinetic scoreboard is a marvel of technology that has dazzled Flyers and Sixers fans since it debuted last year. It boasts more than 6,600 square feet of crystal-clear LED.
Fright Week will immerse movie-goers in a complete Halloween experience, from themed food and drinks to spooky sights and creepy characters throughout the arena, organizers said.
Tickets for each movie will be sold separately at MoviesOnBroad.com. A limited number of Wells Fargo Center suites also will be available for purchase for groups of up to six people per suite.
