Scare up some fun on campus

October 27, 2016

The Clarion University community offers family friendly Halloween events this Saturday, Oct. 29.

Children and families are welcome to a Halloween party from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Gemmell Multi-Purpose Room.

The event will feature tricks and treats in the forms of games, candy and non-candy treats. The event is sponsored by the Advisory Board for Leadership and Engagement, otherwise known as ABLE.

Any questions about the event may be directed to able@clarion.edu.

There also is a Halloween double feature from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Clarion University theater along Main Street.

The movies to be shown during this double feature include "Halloweentown" and "Hocus Pocus."

"Halloweentown" stars Debbie Reynolds as Aggie Cromwell, the peppery grandma to typical American kids Marnie (Joey Zimmerman), Dylan (Joey Zimmerman) and Sophie (Emily Roeske). During her annual visit to the youngsters' mother, Gwen (Judith Hoag), Aggie reveals that she is a benevolent witch, and that Gwen and the kids all have latent magical powers. Whisking the three little ones off to Halloweentown, Aggie subsequently does battle with evil forces conjured up by Gwen's old flame Kalabar (Robin Thomas), a warlock with delusions of grandeur and a nasty habit of transforming children into zombies.

Bette Midler stars with Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy in "Hocus Pocus." Halloween night will never be the same after these three 17th century witches are accidentally conjured up in present-day Salem where they brew a hilarious cauldron of mischief and mayhem.
