EARLVILLE – If scary witches and ghosts send shivers up your spine, perhaps you had better avoid the old Earlville Opera House on Saturday, Oct. 29 from 7-9 p.m. On the other hand, if you have a brave streak running through your young heart, perhaps you are up for a fright or two when the forces of Halloween make their way into the Opera House dimension for a brief time. Scary exhibitions and monsters are definitely included this evening.

The spirit of Halloween once again transforms the 1892 Earlville Awesome House for kids! On the first floor, the Wicked Witch and Warlock of Earlville greet you at the door! Scary exhibits and monsters fill this year's Hall of Brides. Be amazed by the fifty new exhibits in Rippley’s Believe It or Rot! On the second floor, visit the deathly City Morgue to get a taste of the beginnings of the afterlife. See the Ghosts & Ghouls inhabiting the 4th dimension of the historic 1892 Theater. Hope to see you there – Come if you dare!

OK … so why do we like to be scared? “The adrenaline” answers Margaret Burr MA, MFT. “Basically, you can get this feeling defending yourself against a lion in the jungle or sitting in a theater showing a horror flick. We, as humans, appear to be "hard-wired" to be drawn to this feeling.”
