With only three weeks left until the big day, I wanted to get a full post out about all the great spooktacular events that are taking place around Ottawa through the month of October. As usual, this will be a live list and I will update it as soon as I get details on new events. Many of these are not found on my events calendar as it would simply be too overwhelming!

As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named “Rocky.”
Complete with sass from the audience, cascading toilet paper, and an array of other audience participation props, this deliberately kitschy rock ’n’ roll sci-fi gothic musical is more fun than ever!
Audience warning – Use of flashing lights, theatrical haze, and loud sound effects will be present throughout the performance.
