Friday the 13th at Rooftop Cinema Club
This event has passed.
A midnight rooftop screening leans fully into classic slasher territory, bringing one of horror cinema’s most influential franchises into an open-air setting under the Miami night sky.
Released in 1980, Friday the 13th helped define the modern slasher formula, introducing audiences to Camp Crystal Lake, where a group of counselors attempting to reopen the camp are stalked by an unseen killer. Directed by Sean S. Cunningham and inspired by the success of Halloween, the film relies on atmosphere, misdirection and a slow-burn sense of dread rather than spectacle. Its unsettling score, composed by Harry Manfredini, became instantly iconic, while the film’s final act laid the groundwork for one of horror’s most enduring mythologies.
The screening takes place Friday, February 13 at Rooftop Cinema Club on Miami Beach. Guests watch from cushioned Adirondack chairs or shared loveseat seating, designed for relaxed outdoor viewing. Ticket options include seating-only admission as well as packages that bundle chairs or loveseats with popcorn, making it easy to settle in for a late-night scare.
Founded in London and now operating rooftop venues across major U.S. cities, Rooftop Cinema Club transforms urban rooftops into communal, open-air theaters that emphasize comfort, atmosphere and the shared thrill of watching films together—especially fitting for a horror classic that thrives on collective suspense.
