Get ready for a frightfully fun time at Bucks County Community College this Halloween season with a live concert and spooky silver screen classics.
First, “Transylvania Thunder” rolls in at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, October 25. This spine-tingling spectacle combines live rock music, eerie storytelling, dancers, lighting, and narration in a Halloween-themed rock opera that will leave you howling for more.
“‘Transylvania Thunder’ is a fully immersive experience for the whole family that brings something bold, new, and unforgettable to the Halloween season,” said Pete Chiovarou, director of community programming and college events. “It fuses the energy of a concert with the magic of Broadway and the nostalgic spirit of fall. And beware of the ghosts and ghouls lurking in the ‘graveyard’ lobby when you enter the theater!”
Tickets for “Transylvania Thunder” are $39 each, and free for BCCC students with current ID.
The chills continue with “Monster Rally” October 28, 29 and 30, a creature-feature film series that resurrects Hollywood’s most famous monsters from Universal Studios:
- 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28: “Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein” and “Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman”
- 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 29: “House of Dracula” and “House of Frankenstein”
- 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30: “House on Haunted Hill”
Tickets for “Monster Rally” are $7 for each date, and free for BCCC students with current ID.
All performances take place in the Zlock Performing Arts Center on Bucks’ Newtown Campus, located at 275 Swamp Road, Newtown, Pa., where there’s ample free parking. Tickets are available on the website.
“Transylvania Thunder” and “Monster Rally” are part of the Bucks Live! series of innovative programs that entertain, inspire, and enrich Bucks County’s cultural landscape. For a full schedule of Bucks Live! performances this season, visit the Zlock Performing Arts Center web page.
