The Scariest Month of All

I love fall, and the month of October in particular—it has one of the best holidays: Halloween. BPL has got plenty that will entertain, shock and terrify you.

Neighborhood libraries host a variety of activities, from Halloween arts and crafts, spooky versions of board and quiz games, terrifying storytelling, and costume contests. Check our calendar of events for what’s near you.

If you’re looking to curl up with a horror story or movie, BPL’s got you covered there, too. We’ve got the newest movies, where you can find your favorite freak-out, whether it’s killer orphans, demons or psychos with tools. If you’re unsure, peruse 101 Horror Movies You Must See Before You Die—and before you sit down in front of that DVD, it might behoove you to read How to Survive a Horror Movie. Write your own terrifying tale, or pick up a classic.

Or, read the book, then watch the movie, and compare! And you can do all of the above while wearing the costume you decorated in arts & crafts at your local library.

Have a creepy month!
