Step into your worst nightmare at this fright farm in North Austin. Known for its high production values and immersive scare tactics, this is one up from watching horror movies all month. New this year are outdoor horror screenings for those who enjoy their spine tingling in fear.

Boggy Creek Farm's Carol Ann Sayle could paint you a better picture of this event – not metaphorically, but literally, as she's an accomplished artist whose work was part of the recent "Farmer as Artist" exhibition at Prizer Gallery – but let me try with words? The international Outstanding in the Field series – the one that invites diners to a communal meal at the source of the ingredients on the menu – has organized a collaboration between Boggy Creek Farm and the Brewer's Table, with chef Jaime Chozet preparing the courses for this outdoor feast – and those courses will be paired with beers chosen by the Table's expert brewers. Is there anything better under a Texas sky in the middle of the week, especially now that the weather's finally cooling off? We think not. We suspect, in fact, that this beer-enhanced collab will be one of the season's most memorable events.
