Sleepy Hollow Cinema is a community-based nonprofit founded by local film fans with a mission to create vibrant gathering spaces where residents can experience the power and art of film. Born from overwhelming public enthusiasm for a hometown theater, the organization brings a diverse lineup of movies to Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow — from family favorites and Spanish-language films to avant-garde indies and spine-chilling horror — while raising capital toward a permanent theater location.

Until then, Sleepy Hollow Cinema hosts monthly pop-up screenings at the Young Men’s Lyceum Club, 39 N. Broadway in Tarrytown, with past showings ranging from Mamma Mia! and Stand By Me to genre picks like Evil Dead and The Velvet Vampire. Each October, the organization also stages its Home for Horror series — three full weekends of horror screenings — and runs Sleepy Hollow FrightFest, a national student short-horror-film competition for high school and college filmmakers, culminating in a screening and awards event each October. Tickets are available online or at the door.
