Halloween falling on a Friday this year has the weekend feeling extra spooky. Consider some of these events for your frightful festivities. In Iowa City, the Dandelion Stompers are hosting a haunted hop at Wildwood on Halloween night. In Cedar Rapids, CSPS Hall opens up its space for a Día de los Muertos celebration on Saturday. For a non-holiday related event, check out the Des Moines Underground Film Festival at Varsity Cinema. Read our article on DSMUFF and founder Serena Fath before the showcase on Sunday.
