Details

Every Autumn we find ourselves seeking the Halloween from our childhood. Heck, we’re probably looking for the ultimate Halloween that never-quite-was… something that is a mix between the Addams Family, Hammer films, Big Daddy Roth, Count Chocula, the Munsters, and imagery from old-time Halloween… vintage spooky cards with Witches, Draculas, bats, and black cats. Something spooky, but not entirely blood-drenched; interesting for adults and kids… but not just kiddy. While Halloween has always been a commercial affair, we’re not quite as excited about costumes based on the latest blockbuster, cookie-cutter decorations or booty-costumes for little girls. Something vital is lost in the translation. We’d love to help folks to get back to basics, and make their Halloween cooler, keener, and more inspired. If you’ve ever wanted more out of your Halloween, maybe you should attend Keen Halloween. Bookmans is happily hosting the Creepy Craft Tents outside. We'll be breaking out our tote bags with Crafty Modern, creating vintage Halloween masks, and more! Join us for Spooky Story Times with a variety of local authors too!
