Nitehawk Cinema’s Lil’ Hawk Friendly Halloween Series: ‘Monster House’

Eating at a movie usually means popcorn and candy, but Nitehawk Cinema in Brooklyn provides real meal service at tables in each of its theaters. This month it’s also been offering a brunch series for children, with films that have a Halloween theme. This Saturday and Sunday it’s screening “Monster House” (2006), an animated movie recommended for ages 8 and older. Directed by Gil Kenan and rated PG, this adventure focuses on a 12-year-old boy, D.J. Walters, who believes that his neighbor’s house isn’t haunted — it’s actually a monster that swallows things up.
