During “second season,” Elaine’s boutique hotel, gourmet restaurant, Victorian pub and dinner theater all become a SPOOKTACULAR place to celebrate Halloween!
This month at Elaine’s, enjoy elaborately decorated grounds and spooky specials events. The Halloween happenings begin on Friday, Oct. 13 with a FREE outdoor showing of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” at Elaine’s Porch & Patio. Bring a blanket, grab a cocktail from the outdoor bar, and snuggle up in front of the huge, wide-screen movie screen. Don’t worry about that fall chill in the air – Elaine’s has outdoor heaters to keep you nice and toasty!
The scary good times continue with the Day of the Dead Party on Friday, Oct. 20, sponsored by Jose Cuervo.
