Halloween is Monday, so a weekend filled with holiday-related activities is about to get underway. Click here to see our roundup of Halloween events all over the borough.
However, if dressing up as a zombie or going door-to-door in search of candy is not on your agenda, there are still things to do. The Museum of the Moving Image, which is holding a gala Salute to Warren Beatty Wednesday, is showing his Academy Award-winning “Reds” Saturday at 2 p.m. The film features the actor/director alongside Diane Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Maureen Stapleton and a cast of historical figures including Adela Rogers St. Johns, Will Durant and George Jessel. There should be enough posturing and posing among those up on screen to satisfy even the most demanding armchair trick-or-treater. For more information call (718) 777-6888 or go to movin
