Embrace the strange, the whimsical, and the eerie...

This October, step into a world of spooky fun and adventure inspired by the dark, quirky magic of filmmaker Tim Burton. Each week features a new activity, from a special screening of a comedy-horror classic to fantastical crafts and a trick-or-treat adventure.

Weekly activities include:

  • 🪦 October 3rd – Seasonal Movie Screening
    It's showtime! Kick off the month with a screening of a 1980s cult favorite (Beetlejuice, runtime 93 minutes), where the laughs are just as plentiful as the scares. Themed snacks will be provided. Parental discretion is advised for younger children, as the movie’s PG rating predates the creation of PG-13.
  • 🎃 October 10th – Pumpkin Painting
    Embrace the seasonal art of pumpkin painting! For an extra challenge, try to capture the eerie vibe of Sleepy Hollow! (See also: Pumpkin Decorating)
