New haunt added to All Hallow’s Eve

Ditch the trick or treat bags, princess costumes and baby snowsuits with ears and tails.

The community association is holding a fete for the older set at Town Center North from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., Oct. 30.

Classic horror films, a dance, DJ, zombies and a rendition of the “Thriller” dance sequence will delight adults on this gone-to-the kids festival.

Employees of HRCA have been working on the “Thriller” dance sequence from Michael Jackson’s groundbreaking 1983 video for weeks.

For those too young to remember, the video, directed by John Landis and featuring the voice of Vincent Price, showed Jackson and a date walking through a graveyard and getting attacked by zombies. Jackson morphs into a were-panther creature and eventually a zombie.

At Scare on the Square, the zombies will live again along with the dance moves from 1983.

Simply revisiting 1983 should be scary enough, but the association will screen classic horror films including “Frankenstein” (1931) and the Mummy (1932) .

The kiddos get their turn the next day at Trick or Treat Street from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Eastridge recreation center, 9598 S University Blvd.

Local businesses banded together to offer candy to the kidlets.

Admission is $1 at the door, cash or check only, and includes a pumpkin from the patch as long as they last.

For a family-centered evening, check out the haunted hay rides at Stockton’s Plum Creek Stables, 7479 W. Titan Road, Littleton.

Rides are scheduled 6-9 p.m., Oct. 23-25.

Professional storytellers narrate an amusing tale while you rumble down a trail inhabited by ghostly Native Americans and cowboys. Draft horses pull a hay wagon along a trail through Chatfield State Park for a 30 minute adventure.

Food provided by local 4H members as a fundraiser.

Tickets are $11 for adults and $8 for children 3-12 and can be purchased at any HRCA recreation center.
