'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' Anniversary Screening, Vince Staples: MA Weekend Events

MASSACHUSETTS — It isn't so much a question of what there is to do in the Boston area and beyond, but rather, what should locals do?

Welcome to Patch's latest weekly roundup of highlight-worthy events across the city and surrounding areas. We've compiled them into one, easy-to-follow list, for your weekend planning.

It's spooky season, meaning residents of Massachusetts and beyond have likely been firing up the horror movies for a couple weeks now.

On Friday, horror fans will have a unique opportunity to watch a classic thriller and meet members of the original cast and crew at Beverly's Cabot Theatre.

The Cabot will host an 8 p.m. screening of the 1974 "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" film with members of the original cast and crew including John Dugan, Ed Guinn, Edwin Neal, William Vail and Daniel Pearl present for a meet and greet.
