Visitors will get a good fright throughout the evening with haunted tours, costume contests and other treats. The Haunted Hospital will be packed with evil doctors doing weird experiments that might go wrong. Elvira’s Fright Stimulator will give party-goers a good jolt. Kids can even get into the act by creating ghoulish crafts. Prizes will be awarded in four categories: Most Creative Costume, Best Couple’s Costume, Best Children’s Costume, and Audience Favorite.
This year’s featured band, The Cocktail Monkeys, will lead guests through a fantasy evening covering the most popular songs from the ’60s through current favorites. The Cocktail Monkeys were one of KFOX’s Last Band Standing finalists, and audience participation is not overlooked – you never know who will be selected to come up and join in on cowbell. More information about the band can be found at www.thecocktailmonkeys.com.
