This December, we’re turning your favorite holiday tales into spine-tingling experiences with a spooky twist. Join us for an evening of bone-chilling fun as we delve into the darker side of the season.
– Share your creepiest holiday tales, recite dark poetry, or even perform a chilling song that will send shivers down the audience’s spine at Holiday Horrors Open Mic.
– Create your own Gingerbread Monster by transforming a classic gingerbread cookie into a frightful creature with spooky icing, candy eyes, and other eerie decorations.
– Try your hand at The Raven’s Curse, an Edgar Allan Poe-themed escape experience through the exhibits of the AWM.
– Enjoy beer, wine, and the night’s specialty cocktail, The Sleepy Hollow Brew, a piping hot twist on the classic hot toddy. Non-alcoholic options are available as well.

Join us if you dare, and experience the holidays like never before!
