Calling all pirates, ghosts, ghouls and creatures of the deep! This Halloween, gather your crew and step aboard the USS Midway Museum for Fright Deck: Halloween Party & Movie Night — a swashbuckling evening of family-friendly Halloween fun high above San Diego Bay.
Before the moon rises and the movie begins, dance the monster mash to a live DJ, enter our Halloween Costume Contest, hunt down Captain Jack Marrow’s missing skeleton crew, and uncover a bounty of tricks and treats along the way.
Then, when darkness falls, settle in beneath the stars for an outdoor screening of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl surrounded by historical naval aircraft, the glittering San Diego skyline and a few pirates who may have forgotten to return to Davy Jones’ Locker...
Fright Deck is Halloween fun for all ages and an experience you won't find anywhere else.
Come aboard… if ye dare!

Movie Details
2003 | Rated PG-13 | 2hrs 23minutes
Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) arrives at Port Royal in the Caribbean without a ship or crew. His timing is inopportune, however, because later that evening the town is besieged by a pirate ship. The pirates kidnap the governor's daughter, Elizabeth (Keira Knightley), who's in possession of a valuable coin that is linked to a curse that has transformed the pirates into the undead. A gallant blacksmith (Orlando Bloom) in love with Elizabeth allies with Sparrow in pursuit of the pirates.
