HALLOWEEN IN PARKS, 1: Things are getting spooky and 
rated M for mature audiences ... find out why ... ahead on 
Passport to Texas ... 

This is Passport to Texas

Life is unpredictable, unless, of course, it's October. 
That's because in October you can always predict a spell 
of Halloween hijinks at Texas State Parks and Historic 
Sites.

08 -- You'll find Halloween events in every corner of the state 
from far El Paso down to the Gulf, up to far North Texas. 

Thomas Wilhelm is with state parks. He says there will, of 
course be trick-or-treating in the parks.

15 -- But there are also some other events -- educational type 
events like: Not so Creepy Critters, where you can learn about 
spiders and owls and bugs. And then some downright spooky 
events, like the Wake of Henry Fanthorp at Fanthorp Inn. That 
event is 10 years old and up.

Historic sites will offer some of the more intriguing 
Halloween programs, suitable for mature audiences.

10 -- Battleship Texas is doing an event called The Seedier Side 
of Battleship Texas, where they talk about some of the 
shenanigans on board. And that's a twenty-one and up only 
event.

Well, we are talking about shenanigans, after all. State 
Parks and Historic sites; who knew, right? Find a full 
schedule of Halloween and fall events in State Parks by 
region at texasstateparks.org/holidays.
