4 Spooky October Date Nights
Boo!
Are you ready to have a scary good time? During this month of ghosts, haunted houses, creepy costumes and eerie happenings, there are plenty of opportunities for you and your husband or wife to get out and enjoy the Halloween season. Here are four events to check out this month.
1. “Evil Dead the Musical” at The Studio Theatre
Hilarity and horror are wrapped into one at this show with performance dates from Oct. 11-28. The show takes elements from the movies “The Evil Dead,” “Evil Dead 2” and “Army of Darkness” and combines them to create a hilarious and strange musical show, centered around five college students who accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons.
Tickets and more information are available at StudioTheatreLR.com
2. Haunted Tours of Little Rock
Experience Little Rock in a whole new (and scary) way! On Oct. 12, 19 and 26 from 7-9 p.m., see all the city’s haunted sites on a tour led by Linda Howell, the author of “Haunted Little Rock.” The evening begins at The Arsenal at MacArthur Park and attendees will take a trolley or minibus to The Empress of Little Rock where they’ll explore the attic before stopping by Mount Holly Cemetery.
Tickets for the tour are $35 per person and participants should meet at the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History. Visit HauntedToursofLittleRock.com for more information.
