Wicked Manors to be a Horror’bly Good Time

It’s going to be a night of wicked fun as Wilton Drive becomes the Little Drive of Horrors. As the sun begins to set on Halloween, a scary good time emerges from the shadows and Wicked Manors gets underway. 


The party literally stops traffic along Wilton Drive on Halloween. The road will be closed from 20th Street (at the light with the DQ and Tropics) down towards LIT and Bona Italian. In between will be one frighteningly fun extravaganza. The main stage at Sixth Avenue will host the costume contests, performers, and DJs. 


When it comes to costumes, Wicked Manors fans of all ages are known to bring it and four costume contests will be held throughout the evening, with each getting progressively more adult.

It's in the Stars

InTarotGate by Dooney


The Hermit represents the enlightenment you have obtained from looking back at the first three quarters of 2023, shedding light on a murky aspect of your life that seems almost suddenly clear–almost. As the tarot card for Virgo, The Hermit asks you to say farewell to Virgo perfectionism and to embrace the watery intuition of Scorpio season to let that “almost” naturally grow into certainty. In the meantime, under the light of tomorrow’s Full Moon, take a break and surrender to the dreamy veil of the upcoming Hallow’s Eve, when you can let the inner wolf come out and play alongside your more domesticated self. Suspend Judgment for now and avoid making that major life-changing decision until this hallowed time passes, for only then will you be able to harvest the fully-formed clarity that will allow you to choose correctly.
