By Terri Ogan, Globe Correspondent

Just in time for the first day of summer, the city of Peabody is hosting a neighborhood night at the movies.

All residents are invited to attend the showing of "ParaNorman" tonight at the Leather City Common located at 53 Lowell Street at 7 o'clock.

“It should be a nice night to watch a great family movie,” Mayor Edward Bettencourt said in a statement. “Be sure to dress warm, bring the kid’s sleeping bags and some popcorn and we will all have a good time under the stars.”

Released in 2012, "ParaNorman" is an animated adventure comedy about a young boy who battles ghosts, zombies, and adults to save his town from a centuries-old curse.

Neighborhood night at the movies is sponsored by local radio station 105.7 WROR.
