“Darkness falls across the land. The midnight hour is close at hand. Creatures crawl in search of blood, to terrorize y’awl’s neighborhood. And Whosoever shall be found, without the soul for getting down. Must stand and face the hounds of hell, and rot inside a corpse’s shell. The foulest stench is in the air. The funk of forty thousand years. And grizzly ghouls from every tomb, are closing in to seal your doom. Although you fight to stay alive. Your body starts to shiver. For no mere mortal can resist. The evil of the Thriller!

The Flying Irish Halloween Party is almost here! DJ Marathon will be rockin’ O’Doherty’s, so bring your dancin’ shoes and be ready to party. There will be prizes for best male and female costume. Reps from On and Gu will be there with samples and demos courtesy of Fleet Feet Sports Spokane. We have some raffle prizes from Nu Home Brew as well, and we will be giving away this cooler from Deschutes Brewery.
