The Empress’ Guide to Halloween Happenings

October 19th, 2011 by Jessica

The Empress invites you to stay in the luxury of an 1888 Gothic mansion (some say we have our own ghost) while visiting some of Little Rock’s spookiest Halloween attractions. The Haunted Cathedral runs from October 22-31 at EMOBA’s Cultural Center and has haunted mazes, floors that fall from beneath you and a carnival atmosphere. The Haunted Hayride is at Immaculate Heart of Mary School (October 21 and 22) . Don’t forget Boo and The Zoo for some kid friendly fun and then hit Boo Bash at The Peabody on October 29 for an all adult Halloween extravaganza! We cannot wait to experience all the fun times that this creepy holiday has to offer and we hope that you can join us!!!
