Here’s a hot take nobody asked for. The remakes of Friday the 13th, Halloween, Candyman, & Nightmare on Elm Street were all terrible. The Evil Dead remake was actually pretty great.

What were we talking about? Right! Please come to our special Halloween themed Cocktail Workshop, costumes are encourage but not necessary. Although you don’t want to be the only person to show up without a costume… I’m going as Zombie Mr. Rogers, so you can be anything except that.

This will be our 11th annual Halloween workshop and promises to be a night you won’t forget!
