Catch spooky movies and search for pumpkins in E-Town

The Historic State Theater will kick off their annual Spooky Season movie series this Friday.

“We kick off this Friday with Frankenweenie at 7 p.m., and then Saturday we have Haunted Mansion,” said City of Elizabethtown Events Manager Beth Pyles. “The following weekend, on the 17th we’ll have Monster House and Saturday, October 18th is the beloved The Ghost and Mr. Chicken which is probably our most popular movie that we show here at The State Theater every year. The last weekend, Friday, October 24th we’ll have Little Shop of Horrors and then Saturday, October 25th we’ll have Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.”

Tickets are $3 for each movie and are available at www.thestate270.org.

Meanwhile, today is the first day of the City of Elizabethtown’s Pumpkins in the Park scavenger hunt at Freeman Lake Park.

“Folks can stop by the park office and pick up the clue sheet and walk through the park,” Pyles said. “It is a self-guided tour and hunt for our pumpkins. There are 10 pumpkins that are strategically placed throughout the park. I won’t say they’re hidden, but they’re really cute. You will notice them right away.”

Once you complete your pumpkin guide, return it to the park office for a goody bag and to be entered in a drawing for a Freeman Lake Park fall fun basket. Find more information and a printable guide at www.etownevents.com.
