What Events Are Planned in Pahrump This Week

Gather closer, if you dare … and let the darkness descend as we remember the sinister, bone-chilling voice-over of iconic actor Vincent Price in Michael Jackson’s haunting music video, ‘Thriller.’

“Darkness falls across the land

“The midnight hour is close at hand

“Creatures crawl in search of blood

“To terrorize (our) neighborhood.”

-Rod Temperton, English songwriter

Now that we have invited sufficient All Hallow’s Eve spookiness to swirl into our consciousness, let’s study the sweet - and scary - bounty of Halloween activities carefully curated below.
