This is the last opportunity to see Evil Dead: The Musical at the Prince George Playhouse.
The spoofy stage version of the classic B-grade zombie film happens tonight and Halloween night.
"Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods, and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons," said a statement from the producer, Judy Russell.
"It's all up to Ash (a housewares employee turned demon-killing hero), and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies, limbs are dismembered, and demons are telling bad jokes... all to music."
Tickets are available now at Studio 2880.
Ask about general seating or the Splatter Zone.
Get a taste of Canadian Waste
Long absent band Canadian Waste comes back to the P.G. stage tonight. They make their costumed comeback at a pre-Halloween dress-up party at the Legion starting at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door.
Menagerie beckons
All dressed up, and you know exactly were to go - Menagerie happens tonight at the Two Rivers Gallery.
This is always the hottest ticket of the Halloween season in P.G., with the gallery dolled up as much as the throngs of people. It's a night of getting out of the ordinary and into exciting characters, all to raise funds for the city's premier visual arts facility.
"You'll walk inside and you won't recognize the place," said gallery official Carolyn Holmes. "It will be wearing a Mexican Day of the Dead disguise. There is music everywhere, dancing throughout the night, a performance by Bottoms Up Burlesque a few times throughout the night, there are games, amazing food by the White Goose Bistro, different psychic readings can be done - so many things going on to entertain and excite you."
Tickets are for sale at the gallery's front counter while supplies last.
Why not Wells?
A Halloween Hootenanny hits the stage Saturday night in Wells.
The Sunset Theatre has its rustic appeal, and the headline act will be a-peelin' in their own way. Bottoms Up Burlesque will be the featured show that also includes modern folk-rock act Drum And Bell Tower and DJ Blocktreat.
The curtain rises at 8 p.m., tickets are $25.
CarnEVIL time
Halloween fun shrouds CN Centre on Oct. 31, when CarnEVIL returns. This now annual event lines up national-calibre deejays, emcees, circus elements, projection images, and the most ambitious costumes this city's residents can produce. It was a sellout last year.
It is the largest and most ambitious Halloween party of the year anywhere in Prince George.
The hosts for the night are local deejays DJ Nige, DJ Ant and Blaine Estby. They set up the crowd for national-calibre headline groove-spinners SkiiTour, reigning West Coast Music Award rapper of the year in B.C. Def3, urban alt-circus Cosmic Co-Motion, projection map and lighting specialists INEO Studios, and much more.
