Your 2014 Halloween Events Guide
LET'S GET SPOOKY // ILLUSTRATION BY MADELINE CRAWFORD
Halloween is a rare beast of a holiday—no one can ever agree on the best day to celebrate it, so we all end up celebrating it multiple times. It’s more like Halloween Week. (And that’s fine by us.) Are you the the sort of Halloween reveler who likes to get decked out in lavish costumery and party the night away? Is a quiet family trick-or-treat parade more your speed? Whatever your pleasure, Tulsa’s got you covered, and we’ve rounded up our spookiest suggestions so you can make Halloween Week 2014 a memorable one.
Hex House
9/26–11/1
Inspired by a true story of Tulsa’s past involving hypnotic or occult mind control, the goal at the Hex House isn’t entertainment, it’s to show whar sheer terror really feels like. You’ll be submerged into an altered reality much darker and less predictable than anything you’ve seen in a movie.
