Get those costumes ready! With just over a month to go, here are all the best Halloween events in Aspen for a spooky good time.
Stop by the Basalt Regional Library October 28th for some Halloween favorites. Kicking off the night is the original 1931 Frankenstein film starring Boris Karloff, then Mel Brook’s comedy film Young Frankenstein and last, but certainly not least, is the Library’s Frankenstein October event series inspired by Mary Shelley's science fiction novel Frankenstein. Spooky treats are provided, but make sure not to forget your pillows and blankets.
Gather the whole family and head to Anderson Ranch for a spooktacular Halloween celebration! Come dressed in your best costume and dive into spooky crafting, trick-or-treat through our artist studios, and join the costume contest while sipping hot apple cider and indulging in Halloween goodies. It's frightfully fun for everyone!
Leave the kids at home for KDNK community radio’s annual adults-only halloween party and benefit. Games, food, drinks and a costume contest are on the agenda, all set to KDNK’s curated music video mixtape.
If walls could talk, Hotel Jerome would be sure to have a ghost story or two. With a history in Aspen dating back to 1889, the hotel is the perfect spot to relax, dine, drink and (if you’re lucky) see some of the hotel’s infamous otherworldly residents.
Unsure about a ghost tour? Check out the Aspen Historical Society’s variety of walking tours, covering everything from Aspen’s roots to the local cemetery (and the lives of those buried there).
Looking for a scare? The Ghosts, Murder, and Mayhem walking tour is sure to fulfill any thrill-seeker or history buff’s curiosity about the darker side of Aspen. Covering 1879 to present, this tour is perfect for families, just adults or anyone looking to take a walk on the supernatural side.
