The freak show that is a good Capitol Hill weekend is even good-er and more freak show-ier on a Capitol Hill Halloween weekend. No time like the present to get ready and figure out how you can add to that giant pile of freak.

Here’s a look at spooky events and ghoulish happenings we know about. Know more? Let us know, too, in comments. Happy Hill-oween.

Monday October 24th – Monday October, 31st
Seattle Central Community College
Pine and Broadway

 Monsters on Broadway is a temporary art installation set up on the grounds of Seattle Central Community College. Consisting of dozens of artist designed “monsters”, these life size wood cut outs will be set up on the corner of Pine and Broadway. This installation will allow the public to interact with them as some will have “cut outs” for fun and whimsical photo opportunities. The vibrant and urban designed “monsters” will represent the diversity and creativity of Capitol Hill and because of their central location, will attract 1000’s of passerby’s.

From October 28th – 31st, the Madison Room will be decked-out in festive spooky décor for those who love a silly-scare. You may even spot, Ms. Alice Toklas, our resident ghost and former resident in the early 1900’s.
