Good to know:
- It's billed as the center's last Samhain and Halloween program of the season, put on by its H.A.R.P. Museum committee.
- The building is wheelchair accessible.
- This is a horror feature with subtitles, so it suits teens and adults more than young kids. No age rating was published.
- Questions: call the center at 315-733-4228, ext. 6, and leave a message.
- Parking details weren't published. The center is on Columbia Street in West Utica, a short drive from downtown.
