Halloween 2009 Events at the Haunted Game Cafe

Here’s a quick rundown on the events we’ve got planned for Halloween here at the moldering sanctum.

  • Costumes – Rather than a having a costume contest, we wanted to reward everyone who took the effort to dress up. So, everyone in costume gets 10% off all drinks, all night. And, yes. The resident spooks will be dressed up as well.
  • Vintage Horror – We’ll be playing old Horror Radio Shows throughout the night.
  • FREE STUFF – Everyone who joins our new Member’s Club (no charge to join) will be entered in a raffle for Free Games and Accessories! Also, Members get rewarded with special offers and free drinks throughout the year.
  • Extended Hours – We’ll be staying open to greet the witching hour.

Of course, if you’re looking for a great spooky board game to play, we’ve got lots of them for all ages.

Thanks to Historical Tweets for giving me a good laugh. And a very special thanks to Art of Darkness for directing me there.

We got a sign!

Our storefront sign was installed this evening and it looks amazing. Artist Dan Seese (of Dan Seese Studios) here in Fort Collins installed the sign he carved and painted himself. The letters are gilded in 24 carat gold.

We wanted a sign that looked like something from a theme park, and this sign does the trick. The bat shape gives it that spooky look while the gold and aged copper makes it look established and high-end.
