Edgar Allan Poe, the Headless Horseman, and more frightening characters meet in this holiday happy hour at the American Writers Museum.
This December, we’re turning your favorite holiday tales into spine-tingling experiences with a spooky twist. Join us for an evening of bone-chilling fun as we delve into the darker side of the season.
-Share your creepiest holiday tales, recite dark poetry, or even perform a chilling song that will send shivers down the audience's spine at Holiday Horrors Open Mic .
-Create your own Gingerbread Monster by transforming a classic gingerbread cookie into a frightful creature with spooky icing, candy eyes, and other eerie decorations.
-Try your hand at The Raven's Curse , an Edgar Allan Poe-themed escape experience through the exhibits of the AWM.
-Enjoy beer, wine, and the night’s specialty cocktail, The Sleepy Hollow Brew , a piping hot twist on the classic hot toddy. Non-alcoholic options available as well.
Join us if you dare , and experience the holidays like never before!
