A Stroll Through the Graveyard (INTERMISSION)

🕑: 11:30 PM - 01:30 AM
The Ritual Summons (AFTERPARTY!)
Info: The performances may be over, but the ritual has only just begun! As the night creeps toward Halloween to strike midnight on the clock, join us for a little after-dark mischief such as a costume contest for the best spirit of the night, ritualistic games, werewolf howling karaoke, witch circle dancing, a spooktacular raffle and whatever else the night conjures! LAST CALL IS 1:30AM- don’t leave the spirits thirsty!
🕑: 01:45 AM - 02:00 AM
Return to the Mortal Realm
Info: The haunting ends… for now! Gather your belongings, collect your final treats, and make your way safely back to the mortal realm. If you’ve been thoroughly possessed by the spirits, summon a safe ride home or ask a witch for help. The portals close at 2:00 AM - escape well before the witching hour!
