The film will be preceded by refreshments and a costume contest in the courtyard from 7:30 to 8 p.m. and a screening of “Fanalysis,” a documentary about horror movie fans. The 28-minute documentary was directed by “The Evil Dead” actor Bruce Campbell.

Following the screening there will be a discussion with “The Evil Dead” director Sam Raimi and producer Rob Tapert.

Get out your outrageous costumes for the annual West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnaval, held tonight from 6 p.m. to midnight.

It will take place along the “new” Santa Monica Boulevard between Doheny Drive and La Cienega Boulevard in West Hollywood with more than 250,000 anticipated participants. It is known to be one of the largest Mardi Gras-like street celebrations.

Although the event is free, revelers will be asked to make monetary contributions to help the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The night will feature live performances, booths along Santa Monica Boulevard and food vendors.

The evening is highlighted by the “crowning” of a celebrity honorary mayor to preside over the Halloween Costume Carnaval and Costume Contest.
