Costumes are highly encouraged.
• Trick or Treat at MCS
Visit the haunted conservatory and roam the ghostly halls from 3:30-5 p.m. Enjoy musical performances, catch a glimpse of the “ghost” of the 1908 conservatory and snack on plenty of candy. Entry is free, but donations are always welcome.

Email [email protected] to participate in the car-stume contest.
• Nosferatu: A Halloween movie
Arguably one of the most unsettling vampire movies ever made, the 1922 release Nosferatu is an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula starring the spidery vampire personified by Max Schreck that has spawned countless imitations in the century following its release. Backed by an orchestral performance of Hans Erdmann’s original 1922 score, Nosferatu will be shown for free at the historic Pearl Theater in Bonners Ferry at 7 p.m. Come — if you dare.
