ALOHA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!

*The theremin is a mysterious instrument invented in the 1920s
and used for many movie scores including "The Lost Weekend"
and "The Day the Earth Stood Still," as well as pop songs like The Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations."
It's the official Halloween instrument, and Robert is its master!

I'll have "Your Favorite Cougar" (a.k.a. my mom) in tow and we'll be on the island at another event, so we'll try to stop by.

Costume contest heating up!! Grand prize: Dinner for two at Trader Vic's Emeryville. Lot of cool give aways too. Head on by...in your finest!!

BEWARE OF THE (DOOR) MAN IN THE SILVER MASK...he'll have extra "thrilling prizes" throughout the night, and he'll be hosting some special movies for the Indoor Tiki Drive-In, including "Mad Monster Party" "Mad Doctor of Blood Island" and "Forbidden Planet"...

HAppy Halllooooowweeeeeeen! :) Who's up for good times tonight at Forbidden Island?

You've heard about the awesome old movies! You've heard about fabulous prizes for the costume contest! You've heard about haunting theremin music from Robert Silverman!

And now, hear details about our Spooky Cocktail Specials:

Corpse Reviver - A classic that does more than knock your socks off... it raises the dead.

Angels on Ice - A creamy tribute to the 70's with Hanger One Lime, Falernum and Allspice dram

Renfield Cocktail - The Blood is the Life! Strengthen your life force by consuming this potent mix of Limoncello and our fresh squeezed cranberry juice. The color of blood... but much tastier.

Jack'O'Lantern - Tis the season for pumpkins, turkey, and Jack Daniels! The flavors of passion fruit, allspice berry, cardamom are combined with whiskey for a true treat.

Come in your finest rotting threads...

I'll see YOU at the Island!

I think I might need a spooky cocktail and a spooky PBR.

LAST MINUTE ALERT!

The door man who was coming up from Mexico got stopped at the border, so we're importing one from MIAMI instead, he'll help keep the VICE under control, and keep those ANGELS behind the bar happy, too...BRING YOUR IDS!!! This guy's strictly by the book, pal...

ps
there's also been a change up in the movie lineup...expect more 70s tricks and 80s treats, in addition to other surprises...
