A theatrical presentation of classic literature may seem far too tame a way to celebrate All Hallows' Eve. But consider that this night called Wicket Lit is held in a Southland cemetery's mausoleum and that the words spoken are spooky at best and you'll change your mind in a hurry. Among other stage productions, the 6th annual version of this unique offering includes a performance of Bram Stoker's "Dracula's Guest" which was directed by Jeff G. Rack.

Creepy concoctions, kooky costumes and scary creatures, oh my! The over-21 crowd will thrill to an evening among the animals at the Los Angeles Zoo where food trucks and a full bar are on tap for much-needed sustenance as ghoulish entertainers do their thing. While partying the night away, don't miss out on the wisdom of the on-site fortune tellers. These soothsayers may not be right on the money, but their truths sure are spooky and will definitely feel real in this particularly gruesome environment, temporary as it may be.
