Candlelight Frights Presents
SAVE HALLOWEEN
Casper's Only Folk Halloween Experience
(a celebration of ancient, classic, and vintage Halloween traditions)
For centuries, All Hallow’s Eve was a celebration of folk traditions. People hand-crafted their costumes and enjoyed dozens of unique holiday activities. Now, Halloween has become commercialized, mass-produced, and stripped of the elements that made it a one-of-a-kind celebration. Together, we can revive this holiday and its ancient traditions.
Exhume the old ways with Candlelight Fright’s Folk Halloween Experience!
BACK FROM THE GRAVE,
REAL HALLOWEEN.
Reconnect with the meaning behind popular Halloween activities
Explore traditions of a bygone era
Celebrate authentic Halloween the way it was meant to be celebrated

The Premium Dumb Supper In this Victorian tradition, we'll observe a moment of silence for wandering spirits at midnight before taking a bite of a soul cake and exiting the venue in reverse to sleep with the soul cake under our pillows in order to dream of our true loves (some will choose to repeat the ritual on Halloween proper at midnight from their dining area to their beds).*
The Premium Voyage into Vintage Victorian Spiritualism entertaining, captivating and interactive theatrical presentations and historically authentic demonstrations providing a unique opportunity to explore Victorian-era practices and traditions surrounding the afterlife (you can go to both when you choose the VIP experience):
The Tools and Practices of Spiritualism (~11 PM): Step into the Past: A Glimpse into Victorian Culture - Discover the Surprising Practices of Spiritualism: A guided exploration of the tools of Victorian spiritual practices and traditions
After Midnight Spirit mediumship (after the Dumb Supper): Pierce the veil and delve into the spirit realm and connect with the other side to summon the supernatural and explore the mysterious beyond with an immersive journey into the mysteries of Victorian Spiritualism with our gifted medium Madame LaLune after the midnight Dumb Supper
*Once again, we do not advise driving home in reverse unless you'd like to visit with the Mills Police Department, Casper Police Department, or Natrona County Sheriff's Department and are not liable for any nocturnal visions about true loves that present complications, but are happy to take credit for any happy revelations that lead to positive outcomes.
