Saturday, October 31, 2026, the departmental Jean-Paul Belmondo cinema, Garibaldi Square in Nice, celebrates Halloween. With “Ciné Frissons”, the Alpes-Maritimes Department offers a day of screenings featuring classic fantasy films, horror comedies and mystery films. Spectators are invited to come in costume.
Disturbing creatures, fantastic stories and a few surprises for those who love thrills: from 1:30 p.m., the Jean-Paul Belmondo cinema will welcome young and old alike for an edition of “Ciné Frissons” spread across three rooms. Candy and sweets are also announced for the occasion.
This programming extends the Halloween events already mentioned in our selection of All Saints’ Day 2025 outings.
