SATURDAY AUGUST 23RD: PSYCHOΒ at Hollywood Forever Cemetery
Youβre cordially invited to the infamous Bates Motel, where thereβs always a vacancy and Mother knows best.

Welcoming up to 4,000 moviegoers per night, guests are invited to bring their own blankets, food, and drinks (including beer and wine), before settling in under the stars for a classic (and sometimes campy) cinematic experience.
