A few weeks ago, we bought four tickets to a showing of Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Krysten (my daughter) packed up a picnic dinner with all kinds of dips, a greek salad, fruit, drinks, a blanket, and four small folding chairs.
We arrived a bit early, got settled with our blanket and picnic area, and enjoyed people watching while a DJ played some fun music. We ate and visited for a few hours until the movie started.
Before the movie starts, there is a fun photo booth where they will take your photos for free and then post them online for viewing and sharing. Krysten and Jeff went over there to take a photo - next time I will join them.

At around 9pm, the movie started. We had great seats and a great view of the screen as we watched the handsome Jimmy Stewart and the beautiful Doris Day.
I would say that seeing a movie at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery is definitely something fun to experience in LA. There a lot of people who attend and it sells out fast. It's important to get their early, bring friends, blankets, picnic foods and drinks.
You can buy tickets online at Cinespia.
Athena's Tips:
- bring foods that are easy to eat (finger foods, cheese & meat platters)
- bring layers - it is warm until the sun goes down, then it gets cold!
- get there early
- bring cards, books, magazines etc to entertain you while you wait in line to get in
- bring friends!
