What Happens in the Library When the Lights Go Out?

Tomorrow night (October 22) from 6:30-8:00p.m. CST the La Porte County Public Library will be hosting the annual "What Happens in the Library When the Lights Go Out" free family fun night.

Get a chance to see what happens when the library closes its doors for the evening and imaginations come alive. 

Volunteers will be dressed up as fun children's book characters performing skits and interacting with each other and the attendees.

There will also be life-size games for kids to play like I Spy and Jumaji. This fun, Halloween-time, nonscary event is fun for the whole family.

Take the kids and enjoy what happens in the library at night!

A Terrifying Time at the Niles Haunted House & Scream Park

Ready to scream your pants off? And not just "wow, that was sort of scary" but really, scream-your-pants-off scary?

If that sounds like a nice fall evening to you, then head over to the Niles Haunted House & Scream Park in Niles, Mich.
One haunted building at the Scream Park.

This haunted fall staple has been open since late September and there is a whole lot more of fright to be had until Halloween.

In addition to the Haunted House ($10 admission) there is also the Zach's Zombie Motel ($6), The Legend of Pirates Cove ($6), Dark Terror-tory Haunted Hayride ($6), Field of Screams with Maniac Maze ($7), Gore Store, food concessions and psychic readings all waiting for thrill-seeking visitors. If you want your night to be extra scary but economical, there are also combination packages available.

The 1,200,000th visitor!
Niles Haunted House's mission is to "scare the yell out of you" and they plan to do just that with 100+ routes through the house and the most horrifying decorations and volunteers in the Midwest. 

The special events planned for this haunted weekend are radio appearances by U93 and WSMK with a Jack Sparrow attraction, Steel Drum music and a Michigan Ghostbusters visit.
The haunted house's website lists the kinds of things not permitted for tours while also noting this isn't a suitable evening for children.

In the words of the disclaimer on its website, "Warning: Not responsible for those who wet their pants!" have a terrifying time!
