Witches, ghosts and goblins, oh my! As we near the end of October, it's time to feel the spirit of Halloween. If you are looking for something spooky to do this year, there are a variety of events happening around Otterbein and throughout the Columbus area that are sure to bring out the holiday spirit. For events around Otterbein, look no further than Mayne Hall and the Campus Center. Mayne Hall is putting on its annual Halloween party, which is scheduled for Wednesday from 9-11 p.m. The party is open to all students looking to get into the Halloween spirit and will be located on the 1st floor lounge. The Campus Programming Board (CPB) is also celebrating the holiday with a pumpkin- carving craft in the Campus Center. The event will be held on Thursday, October 30 from 4-7 p.m. If you are looking for a good scare outside of Otterbein, there are a few haunted houses you can visit nearby. Cooper Stadium, home to the Columbus Clippers is presenting its 10th and final year of Terror Park 'The Final Chapter'. The stadium has been transformed into something creepy and unexpected. Terror Park is open Thursday through Saturday from Oct. 3 until Nov. 1. Tickets are $13 with an additional $3 for parking. Another frightening haunted house is The Haunted Hoochie, which is commonly referred to as the 'Darkest Show on Earth'. Regular tickets cost $17 and VIP tickets cost $27. There are also Halloween themed performances scheduled around Columbus. Shadowbox, the sketch comedy and rock 'n' roll club, is performing "Raisin' Hell" through Nov. 15. The original sketch comedy act unveils sinful temptations that show naughty is not always bad. Shadowbox is located at Easton Town Center. Students can purchase tickets for $20.
The Columbus Performing Arts Center is also participating in Halloween with its production entitled "Magic of the Night." The haunted magic show stars illusionist Stephen Knight and offers a one-of-a-kind theatrical production.
