Located near Maquoketa, Iowa, the 61 is closing it’s 71st year in spooky style with a night of tricks, treats, and screams featuring THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK (1971) and TRICK ‘r TREAT (2007). The event will be hosted by Reverend Entertainment’s Justin Beahm and feature a costume contest, vendors, giveaways, and more!

PLOT SUMMARY
An early 1970’s docudrama about a Sasquatch-type creature that terrorized the small town of Fouke, Arkansas for several years. Many of the persons who claim to have experienced these events actually played themselves in this movie version. The film had a big premiere in Fouke and went on to become a minor drive-in hit, grossing over $20 million domestically and appearing repeatedly on many late-night horror TV slots throughout the rest of the 70s, and spawning two sequels and a remake.
TRICK ‘R TREAT is visionary director Michael Dougherty’s modern Halloween anthology classic making a rare theatrical appearance. (rating: R)
The fun will also include:
– A costume contest (dress your best!)
– Vendors
– Giveaways
– Wandering ghouls and ghosts
Tickets are just $10 per person
Box office opens at 6pm
