Goosebumps Outdoor Movie Night 2026 in Dubai

The Goosebumps outdoor movie night in Dubai brings the spooky family comedy to the big screen at JLT Park on Saturday 31 October 2026, with the film beginning at 19:30. Part of the Cinema Under the Stars series, the screening takes place on the lawn in Cluster Q, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, where you can spread out a blanket, set up a chair and settle in for a Halloween film night under the open sky.

With Halloween falling on the same night, it is hard to think of a better pick for families who want a bit of fright and a lot of fun without a late-night party.

About Goosebumps Outdoor Movie Night in Dubai

Cinema Under the Stars turns JLT Park into an open-air cinema every Saturday night, with screenings at 19:30 through to 30 January 2027. Family titles run early in the season, with classics later on, and films are announced two weeks ahead.

Goosebumps (2015) brings R.L. Stine’s well-known spooky book series to life. Jack Black plays a fictional version of the author, whose monsters escape from his manuscripts and take over a small town, leaving a group of teenagers to round them up. It mixes jump scares with plenty of comedy, so it plays more like a fun ride than a horror film.

No ticket is needed for the lawn, which works on a first-come, first-served basis. Registering on the JLT page is optional, but it helps the organisers plan numbers and means you will hear when new films are announced.

What to Expect

A Halloween Film on the Lawn

The screening is set on the lawn in JLT Park, between Splendour Fields and the kids’ playground. Bring your own chair or blanket and find a spot that suits your group.

Picnic-Style Viewing

Food and drink are allowed, so you can bring snacks and turn the film into a picnic. The one rule is to clean up after the movie.

Beanbags and Popcorn

If you would rather sink into something comfier, a reserved beanbag spot near the front comes with a large popcorn. These are first come, first served, booked through the line-up on the JLT page, and they tend to go quickly on popular family nights.

Subtitles

Screenings come with English and Arabic subtitles, which helps younger viewers and mixed-language groups follow along.

Who It Is For

This screening is aimed at families and kids. Goosebumps suits children who enjoy a little bit of a fright, along with tweens, teens and parents who grew up with the books. Very young or sensitive children may find a few scenes scary, so it is worth bearing that in mind if you have little ones in tow.

The Venue: JLT Park, Cluster Q

JLT Park sits in Cluster Q of Jumeirah Lakes Towers, and the screening lawn lies between Splendour Fields and the kids’ playground. There is level access from the promenade with no steps, and accessible toilets are located in Cluster Q.

By Metro, head to Sobha Realty Metro Station on the Red Line, take Exit 1 and walk for about five minutes through Cluster R. Parking is available in Clusters Q and R and at JLT Park, and taxis and ride-hailing drop-offs work well in Cluster Q, Cluster R or at JLT Park itself.

Visitor Tips

• Arrive early: the lawn is first come, first served, so getting there before 19:30 gives you the pick of the spots.
• Book a beanbag ahead: if you want a reserved spot near the front, book through the JLT page as they sell out quickly.
• Pack a picnic: chairs, blankets, food and drinks are all welcome.
• Leave no trace: guests are asked to clean up after the film.
• Leave pets at home: pets are not allowed.
• Pick an edge spot with young kids: it makes slipping away easier if anyone gets sleepy or spooked before the end.
• Use the Metro: Sobha Realty station is a short walk away, which saves hunting for a parking space on a busy Saturday.
