Then at 8pm, the main event – The Exorcist – which will be screened outdoors under the stars in a picnic-style showing on a grassy field inside Parramatta Gaol.
What to bring to this night of thrill? Apart from a nappy, think blankets, pillows and low lawn chairs, which you can set-up on arrival. There will be bar facilities onsite as well as food vendors, popcorn, soft drinks and snacks. Prefer to BYO? Then pack your own picnic with food and drink – just no glass or hard liquor are allowed.
Seating is on a first-come first-served basis. To fit everyone comfortably on the lawn, Haus of Horror recommends setting up “blanket-to-blanket” with your neighbours, leaving no empty space between parties. There are aisles on the lawn for easy access to restrooms and exits. Haus of Horror Ushers (in Haus of Horror T-Shirts) are on-site to assist with seating or with any questions. Street parking is also available. This event is for 18+ only.
Tickets are just $39 for General Admission or $59 to get a large, comfy bean bag on arrival. You can purchase tickets to “The Exorcist” inside Parramatta Gaol via Haus of Horror here.
