It’s “Chic to Shriek” at Bell Tower Shops

Adults party on Oct. 30 and children on Oct. 31

Special tricks and treats available throughout the shops will feature a psychic reader at Touch Spa & Salon and contests and games at Talbots, The Cheshire Cat Fine Toys and The Mole Hole. Treats will include devilish desserts and virgin Bloody Marys at Key West Boutique, a fall harvest celebration with hot cider and a surprise discount at Trader Rick’s, plus caricatures at T.G.I. Friday’s.

The restaurant Mall Crawl begins at 9 p.m. featuring special treats and spooky drinks including Frankenstein wine at Bacchus, Jay’s freak juice at Bistro 41, blood orange margaritas at Blue Pointe Oyster Bar & Seafood Grill, smutty pumpkin at Crü and bloody vampire at T.G.I. Friday’s.

On Saturday, Oct. 31 from 5 to 7 p.m., children are invited to an evening of trick-or-treating fun, scouring the shops to fill their bags with Halloween candy.
