This week's Picks: Halloween! It’s not too late to Celebrate October 27 – 31
Halloween is Friday. Are the costumes assembled? Have the pumpkins been carved? Are you heading back to the grocery store for more candy to pass out because you bought yours too early and somebody (okay, I admit it, “Guilty!) ate up half of the candy corn?
The Halloween offerings this month have been amazing. Some are scary; some are cute; many have incredible production values because this is, after all, a movie company town. You’ve probably made all sorts of plans to hit this or that event or even a graveyard, but Halloween is Friday and you haven’t even made it to the pumpkin patch.
Never fear, many of the ongoing activities surrounding All Hallows Eve continue this week. Start with Tim Burton, end with Danny Elfman, and be sure to get a pumpkin already.
OUR LATEST VIDEOS
1. Nightmare Before Christmas – Monday
Once again, El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood brings back Tim Burton’s holiday anti-classic, The Nightmare Before Christmas. This is a perfect way to commence the holiday season.
2. Underwood Family Farms 17th Annual Fall Harvest Festival –Tuesday
If you still don’t have a pumpkin and would like to make acquiring one an event, this is the place to go. In addition to gourds, gourds, gourds, there are tractor rides and pig races…whee! Squeal!
3. Monster Parade Halloween Party – Wednesday
The Play Destination in Agoura hosts a costume parade, puppet show, and K’Next Toy raffles. Admission is charged.
4. Fiesta Muertos Children’s Workshop – Thursday
Olvera Street celebrates the Day of the Dead every day this week. Thursday's free children's workshop helps kids honor our ancestors with mask and necklace making and a festive piñata at the end of the day.
5. Danny Elfman Live at the Nokia Theatre - Friday
Danny Elfman conducts the Hollywood Symphony Orchestra and Choir accompanied by clips from his frequent collaborations with Tim Burton. A spectacular evening that is a great introduction to live music for kids, this is worth the drive to Staples Center. The audience is fan based, and many dress as characters from the movies. A highlight is when Elfman, who voiced Jack the Pumpkin King, sings songs from his Halloween classic. What a great treat for kids in the post-trick-or-treating years!
