Thomastown Library’s Halloween Spooktacular is on again! 

 

Here’s a spine-tingling story about Thomastown’s upcoming holiday event... 

 

Once upon a time on Halloween, something spooky stirred at Thomastown Library. As the clock struck 4.00 PM, the doors creaked open, and the Halloween Spook-Tacular began. Little witches, ghosts, and creatures of the night gathered, lured by the promise of an eerie evening filled with chills, thrills, and frightful fun. 

In the heart of the library, a face painting station awaited those brave enough to transform into something even more sinister. Nearby, a table glittered with supplies for spooky crafts, where young ghouls could create eerie treasures to take home. But beware—the library’s halls held something even more terrifying... 

Deep within, a mysterious Haunted House Box Maze appeared, filled with twists, turns, and shadowy corners. Those who dared to enter found themselves wandering through a maze of surprises, with strange sounds and creatures lurking behind each bend. Only the bravest could make it to the end without jumping in fright!

But the fun was just beginning!

As the sun dipped low in the sky, the call for a Costume Parade echoed through the air. Children and adults, dressed in their most haunting, hilarious, or creative costumes, lined up to parade through the library’s halls. The best costumes would be remembered for Halloweens to come by all. 

Then, as the final hour approached, the ground began to tremble—not from fear, but from the beats of the ultimate Halloween Dance Party. The music sent everyone into a dancing frenzy, with ghoulish grooves, creepy tunes, and the unmistakable sounds of the season making the perfect backdrop for a night of spooky celebration. 

The clock soon ticked toward 7.00 PM, and the creatures of the night, their hearts full of Halloween magic, knew it was time to say farewell.

But they promised to return next year—because at Thomastown Library’s Halloween Spook-Tacular, the fun never truly ends.
