*Oct. 30. Drop in to enjoy a Howl-o-ween Party at Wellesley Free Library.

*Oct. 30. Wellesley College Guild of Carillonneurs presents the Haunted Tower on campus at the Galen Stone Tower from 4-6pm. Guild members will be dressed in costume, and will be playing spooky music, including the Addams Family theme song, “Hedwig’s Theme” from Harry Potter, “Danse Macabre,” and “Funeral March of a Marionette.” The Haunted Tower is always a lot of fun because the tower has the perfect environment for a spooky evening event and the haunting sound of the bells can be heard all over campus. And you just never know where a body might show up (like in an elevator shaft, shown here).
