Look no further! We have put together a spooktacular list of Halloween events for witches and warlocks of all ages!

Horror in the Dark at Olin Park

Upon entering this freakishly eerie mid-19th century dwelling, you will encounter the vilest of creatures and the most evil of beasts. From within these dark and desolate walls that you have entered, there is little chance of escape. It is run by the Madison Metro Jaycees and the purpose is to raise money for local charities. For 2011, we are again going with The Road Home, an organization dedicated to helping homeless families in Madison get back on their feet. http://www.hauntedwisconsin.com/events/horror-in-the-dark/
