A burger, a cult film and a few thrills: that’s another way to celebrate Halloween 2026 in Paris! On Saturday, October 31, the restaurant Back to Back, based in the 10th arrondissement, will turn its space into a pop-up cinema for a night dubbed Smash & Scream. Two screenings are scheduled from 6:30 p.m., alongside smash burgers, thickshakes and a self-serve candy buffet. All this without reservations or entry fee, provided you dine on site!
Usually, it’s the 1990s-era America that sets the tone at Back to Back. Against a backdrop of street-art murals, NBA references, and a hip-hop vibe, the restaurant nails an aesthetic drawn from American pop culture américaine. For Halloween 2026, the decor takes a darker turn, with a bespoke scenography for the occasion and two films that should jog some memories for horror and fantasy fans at the cinema!
The evening kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), the animated film by Henry Selick, based on a story by Tim Burton. A mood shift follows at 8:30 p.m. with Scream (1996), from Wes Craven. We head to the small town of Woodsboro, where a masked killer picks off a group of teenagers. The iconic slasher promises a second screening that's much bloodier!
To accompany the screenings, Back to Back will serve its usual menu, including East Coast and West Coast‑style smash burgers, fries, and its thickshakes inspired by American diners. A self-serve candy buffet will also be set up for the evening, in keeping with another Halloween staple!
