All Work and No Play...

By Marc Savlov, October 8, 2008, 8:11am, Picture in Picture

Got plans for Halloween night? Cancel 'em. You're going to Hell! No, not that Hell. This Hell! You know, the one with the wonky elevators and Scatman Crothers.

Fantastic Fest, purveyors of terror, and Nike Sportswear, purveyors of pricey footwear, have officially announced their "Come Play With Us Halloween Party," billed as "a celebration of The Shining at The Timberline Lodge."

From the press release: "In 1980 Stanley Kubrick came to the Timberline Lodge to film one of the all-time great horror classics, The Shining. In the film, Jack Nicholson slowly loses his grasp on reality and loses himself in a hallucination of a 1920s era ball. Twenty-eight years later, Nike Sportswear and Fantastic Fest have joined forces to recreate the very same ball at the very same lodge."

Whoa, nelly. How cool-scary is that? Cooler than anything you had planned for this Halloween, we'd wager, and scarier than The Bucket List for certain.

Several types of packages (VIP, Gold Room Ticket, Dead Kids in the Dumb Waiter Special) are available, apart from the latter, which we just made up but think would be pretty cool nonetheless, from the official site, so go get 'em right now, before they sell out and you're left trolling Sixth Street with a plastic scythe in your hand come All Hallow's Eve (again).
