Ghostly times are upon us. We need to be prepared. We need to make plans to make sure that this October is the spookiest of scares yet. Some of the creepiest places and activities are right here in our own OKC. Read on for more details…if you dare…muahahaha.
Cycling Ghost Tour: Take a 7 to 8 mile tour of the most haunted places in Downtown OKC. Jeff Provine, The Ghost Guy, will thrill you with tales of sites such as the Myriad Gardens, Film Row, Bricktown, The Skirven, Carey Place, The Plaza District, and The Overholser Mansion. You can rent a $3.50 Spokies bike for the trip or bring your own helmet and bike. The cost is $20 per person for a 3-hour ride of stories. For more information visit SpokiesOKC.com.
Cry “Sanctuary”: The Sanctuary is a year round haunted attraction that is sure to psychologically shake you. On its website you can read a full background of its beginnings that will prepare your mind for the story about to unfold. Each level has a specific storyline delving deeper and deeper into Dr. Hammond’s mysterious ways. For $25 each person you’ll have a 40 minute tour of the facilities. If you need a stiff drink to calm the nerves, there’s a full service bar and nightclub in the basement for the faint of heart. Food and refreshments also served on the grounds.
Sit and Screen: “It Came from the VCR!” is a film festival of old VCR days. Come in costume and enjoy frightful nostalgic films. In between films you can partake in free food or place an order at the bar. This event takes place Oct. 27th at the IAO Gallery. Admission is nada, zilch, zero. Prizes and best costume honors will be awarded so dress your best.
Creeping Cruise: On board a Haunt the River Cruise that’s quite a hyped specter. Delight in refreshing snacks, haunting sounds and tunes, some decked out décor, as well as a cash bar. It departs at Exchange Landing. It is $35 per adult. Cruise the river in true horror style while sipping a wicked cocktail.
Got Little Ghouls?: For those with little ghouls looking for something a bit more tame for the tiny beasts, then Haunt the Zoo may be a purrfect pounce. Each year the OKC Zoo holds a trick or treat experience that is a sight to see for young and old alike. It contains over 20 different themed booths with costumed volunteers handing out goodies. There are plenty of photo op stations for your little lion to explore.
Let loose and howl fiendishly into the night. You’ve been waiting all year for this.
