Families can watch the 1995 Halloween favorite Casper while miniature cows roam around them during an Oct. 11 movie night in Chesterfield.
CHESTERFIELD, NJ — Forget the traditional movie theater. A New Jersey event is giving families the chance to watch a Halloween classic while miniature cows wander through the audience — and possibly settle in beside them.
Memories in a Frame is hosting a spooky “MOOOvie Night” on Sunday, Oct. 11, featuring a screening of the 1995 movie Casper at 310 Extonville Road in Chesterfield. Guests are encouraged to bring chairs, blankets and pillows, grab some popcorn and watch the movie outdoors with the mini cows roaming around them.
Tickets are $35 per person and include a bag of popcorn.
Mini cows will roam during the movie
The experience begins before the movie, when guests will have an opportunity to meet the miniature cows and take photos with them.
Once Casper begins on the big screen, the cows will be allowed to move around the viewing area while families watch the movie.
Organizers say some of the animals may even cuddle up alongside guests during the screening.
The event combines a Halloween movie night with the type of up-close animal experience that has become increasingly popular at farms and family attractions across New Jersey.
What the $35 ticket includes
Admission costs $35 per person, and tickets are required for everyone age 1 and older.
Each ticket includes one bag of popcorn. Additional food and merchandise sold at the concession stand and gift shop are not included in admission.
Guests should bring their own comfortable seating, whether that means a lawn chair, blanket or pillows.
Reservations can be made through the event’s official booking page.
Photos encouraged throughout the experience
Pictures will be taken during the event, and visitors are also encouraged to take their own photographs and videos with the cows.
That includes time before the movie when families can meet the animals, as well as during the screening itself.
Memories in a Frame has promoted the event through its Facebook community.
The unusual movie night adds another option to New Jersey’s growing lineup of seasonal events and Halloween activities.
Rain or shine in Chesterfield
The event is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 11, at 1 p.m. and will take place rain or shine.
Organizers say reservations are non-refundable for guests who cancel or fail to attend.
Anyone booking a ticket should also provide an email address they regularly monitor, since reservation confirmations and event communications will be sent electronically.
The Chesterfield event offers something different from the typical fall movie night: a screening of Casper, popcorn and a herd of miniature cows sharing the audience.
