Throughout October, two downtown Greensboro venues are hosting scary recurring events with the words “NIGHTMARE” and “ELM STREET” in their titles.

One is cinematic, the other literary.

6 Upon a successful inaugural “NOCHE DE BAILE” in downtown High Point last year, the city brings the event back as Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a celebratory close.

8 The game was peaceful, wellplanned, and well-staffed by law enforcement and school staff. Yet, despite these efforts, as students, families and fans were leaving the campus after the game, one individual not believed to be affiliated with either school was SHOT AND KILLED.

9

Maybe it’s the word “dumb” in the title or an advertising campaign that hints at a broad comedy, but DUMB MONEY is quite a welcome surprise this season. It’s a fact-based financial fable based on Ben Mezrich’s non-fiction best-seller The Antisocial Network.

15 Since 2001, local men known to their families and friends as accomplished amateur chefs have been participating in Greensboro’s annual MEN CAN COOK fundraiser to support the Women’s Resource Center of Greensboro.

16 With October offering a Friday the 13th and an almost Halloween Blood Moon eclipse, Triad hobgoblins have a helluva HALLOWEEN SEASON ahead.

Nightmares on Elm and Greene Streets

T

Winston-Salem club in what’s supposed to be New York.

Yes, 1992’s Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, shot in Greensboro and Winston (sometimes without permits or permission), and featuring a variety of local folks both on the crew and in small but sometimes significant roles (as well as dancers from when the Furniture Market made Greensboro the upscale strip-club capital of the South), is returning to a Triad theater for the first time in 31 years.

Acme Comics’ Ben Roberts, who worked with Carolina Theater to create the series, would probably admit it’s not the best film he’s showing (that would be Psycho, although The Shining, Poltergeist, Suspiria, The Thing, and An American Werewolf in London all deserve their classic status), but for anyone who was here in the 1990s, it may be the most nostalgic.

It’s not particularly scary, but few films can frighten like the very best horror novels, particularly when read by candlelight, flashlight, or battery-powered lamp after

Tananarive Due

one of the best Young Adult novels of 2022 by NPR, School Library Journal, and Publisher’s Weekly. His new novel is “The Beholder.”

Nabin Ruthnum, an award-winning Canadian writer of Mauritanian descent, makes his YA horror debut this month with “The Grimmer.” Ruthnum’s protagonist Vish, a high school student who loves both literature and heavy metal and is one of the few Brown people in his small town, finds himself drawn into a world of supernatural terror after he is attacked by a strange pale man who appears to be decaying.

Tuesday, Oct. 24, 7 p.m., “Elements of Horror: Dathan Auerbach and Valerie Neiman in Conversation” Dathan Auerbach’s 2012 debut novel “Penpal” is based on a series of popular creepypasta stories that Auerbach posted to Reddit. His 2018 “Bad Man” was compared to “The Shining set in a grocery store” by Booklist and called “atmospheric and unsettling” by the Washington Post.

Valerie Nieman has been a reporter for the News & Record and a professor at North Carolina A&T State University. Her 2019 novel “To the Bones” is a genrebending horror/mystery set in the West Virginia Coalfields she reported on for 20 years. In 2022, her dark thriller “In the Lonely Backwater,” about a teenage girl trying to solve a classmate’s murder at an isolated rural lake, won the Sir Walter Raleigh Award for the best book of fiction by a North Carolina writer.

Tuesday, November 7, 7 p.m., “New Releases: A Conversation between Tananarive Due and Victor LaValle” Victor LaValle, born in Queens to a single mother who immigrated from Uganda, won the World Fantasy Award, the Shirley Jackson Award, and the British Fantasy Award for his 2016 “The Ballad of Black Tom,” a novella inspired by H. P. Lovecraft’s 1925 story “The Horror at Red Hook” that answers that story’s racism through the perspective of a Black protagonist. His 2018 horror novel

“The Changeling” is now an Apple TV+ series starring and produced by LaKeith Stanfield. His “Lone Women,” a horror novel about a Black woman homesteader encountering human brutality and the supernatural in 1915 Montana, was published in May by Random House.

Tananarive Due is an acclaimed writer and educator who won the American Book Award for “The Living Blood,” the second novel in her “African Immortals” trilogy (the first volume, “My Soul to Keep,” was nominated for the Bram Stoker Award from the Horror Writers Association). She is featured in the 2019 documentary Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror, a subject she also teaches as a film historian. Her new novel “The Reformatory” is a ghost story set at a 1950s reform school based on Florida’s infamous Dozier School for Boys, where students were regularly brutalized and even murdered by staff for almost a century, and where the author’s great-uncle Robert Stephens died and was buried on the school grounds when he was 15.

YES! WEEKLY 9/18/23 1:36 PM

“Noche de Baile” returns Upon a successful inaugural “Noche de Baile” in downtown High Point last year, the city brings the event back as Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a celebratory close.

Originally started by Dalia Razo High Point Discovered, Visit High Point, and the Latino Family Contributor Center within High Point’s YWCA, these organizations not only rejoined forces to bring back the event but now count on the support of the High Points Arts Council and Fuerza Latina Unida para Triunfar (FLUT). Up until last year, the city had not held a central celebration for Hispanic Heritage Month, but with the event returning this year, the dance may just be here to stay.

Spanish for night of dance, “Noche de Baile” was first put together by High Point Discovered Executive Director Amber Williamson, Visit High Point events develop-

ment manager Dana East, and the YWCA’s Latino Family Center director Laura Godinez Arce. In a matter of weeks, the three organizers put together last year’s event, and were pleasantly surprised at the community’s quick support and turnout of more than 100 people. With more planning time this time around, this year the team was also fortunate to receive a grant from the City of High Point.

Grateful to be able to make the event happen again, the organizers are maintaining more or less the same platform they worked with last year, focusing on engaging the community as much as possible. While

last year’s quick promotion happened mostly over Facebook and some door-todoor canvassing of local grocery stores and restaurants, this year the upcoming event seems to be circulating significantly via word of mouth and through more social media platforms. Additionally, the familyfriendly event will have piñatas for the little ones, as well as an arts and crafts area hosted by the High Point Arts Council.

Held at the Stock + Grain Assembly, located at 275 N. Elm St. in High Point’s Social District, “Noche de Baile” is meant to do so much more for the city than provide an evening of dancing.

“We are really wanting to promote the Catalyst area and ensure everyone in High Point has a chance to be near the stadium, to enjoy the food hall,” said East. While the team also wants to make sure that all heritages are represented, in this particular case, it also wants to make sure that people from both the north and south ends of the city can meet in the center to celebrate, support local businesses, and be part of everything High Point has to offer.

A food hall of roughly 12,000 square feet, the Stock + Grain Assembly is home to nine independently owned food concepts and two bars. While none of the food businesses currently specialize in Latin American cuisine, they do innovate special fusion dishes in support of “Noche de Baile.” Some of last year’s event specialties included brisket tacos and sushi burritos. While the event team is also currently working on securing a food truck, as of now it has confirmed a variety of vendors offering items from beauty and skin products, to jewelry, to Mexican and Nicaraguan goodies, and even piñatas.

If High Point previously celebrated an event related to Hispanic Heritage Month,

it generally stayed within the YWCA’s Latino Family Center premises. This kind of celebration taking place at the center of the city is noteworthy not only for High Point’s Spanish-speaking community but for the city itself.

“With this event, we’ve been able to feel welcome in spaces that sometimes can be hard for us to get to,” stated Godinez Arce.

“One of the main reasons why we are doing it in this specific place is because we want our community to be included, and feel like this is for them, too, not just for everybody else.”

New events such as “Noche de Baile” are undoubtedly a step towards encouraging the community to come together in celebration, while establishing that High Point is a place for everyone. “There’s been a lot of growth in High Point, especially central to downtown,” said Williamson on the importance of space equity. “We want to make sure that everyone in our community feels ownership and pride in what’s happening and also just feels welcome to partake in this growth.”

“Noche de Baile” will take place this upcoming Friday, October 13 from 6 to 10 p.m. rain or shine. DJ Lares will get the party started and locally known dance instructor Gabriela Estrada will guide the dance floor.

In the event that it does rain, the dance will be moved indoors where there is more than enough space to follow through with the event and all of its features. With last year’s dance luring in more than 100 locals to High Point’s downtown, Williamson, East, and Godinez Arce are optimistic this year’s turnout will reach the hundreds more. !

High spirits abound at Little Theatre of Winston-Salem As it approaches its 90th birthday, the Little Theatre of Winston-Salem is serving up a raucous celebration of showbiz in its upcoming production of the classic Mel Brooks musical “The ProducMark Burger ers,” which opens Friday, October 20 at the Hanesbrands Contributor Theatre, 209 N. Spruce Street, in Winston-Salem.

There will be an opening night reception beginning at 6:30 p.m. featuring complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres, with the curtain going up at 7:30 p.m.

“The Producers” will run through November 5th. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m.

Thursdays through Saturdays, with 2 p.m. matinees on Sundays and Saturdays, October 28th and November 5th. Tickets are $14-$26 (general admission), with discounted rates for students (with valid ID) and senior citizens. Group rates (10 or more) are also available. The show is approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes — with one 15-minute intermission — and due to bawdy content is recommended for audiences over age 13.

For tickets or more information, call 336-725-4001 or visit https://www.ltofws. org/.

“The Producers” began life as a film in 1967, which marked the feature debut of writer/director Mel Brooks, starring the inimitable Zero Mostel as Max Bialystock, a hack Broadway producer in deep financial straits. Gene Wilder (who earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor), played Leopold Bloom, the timid accountant persuaded/cajoled/badgered by Max to concoct a madcap scheme to bilk investors out of their money by producing a surefire flop. That would be “Springtime for Hitler,” a musical tribute to Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich.

There’s just one problem: “Springtime for Hitler” becomes a hit with audiences, who came to jeer but ended up cheering the sheer absurdity and inanity of the production. “The Producers” not only became a sleeper hit in 1968, but Brooks walked away with the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, an auspicious beginning to his big-screen career.

In 2001, Brooks joined forces with WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

lyricist Thomas Meehan for the Broadway production of “The Producers,” starring Nathan Lane as Max Bialystock and Matthew Broderick as Leopold Bloom. The play earned a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards, ran over 2,500 performances, and was later adapted into a 2005 film reuniting the play’s director Susan Strohman with stars Lane and Broderick.

The Little Theatre’s production of “The Producers” stars Logan Hammersley as Max Bialystock and Nathan Sebens as Leopold Bloom under the direction of Seph Schonekas, with Katie Pelikan, Trevor Ketterling, John Galas, Daniel Becker, and Tara Raczenski rounding out the principal cast.

“According to Mel Brooks, ‘Anybody can direct, but there are only 11 good writers,’” Schonekas said. “If that’s the case, Mr. Brooks is one in 11. He wrote a comedic masterwork that richly deserves its place as the single most-awarded production in Broadway history. It is a brilliant, madcap romp of a show guaranteed to delight and offend audiences for years to come.”

Regarding this production, Schonekas added: “Watching the cast grow and develop their characters over these last few weeks has been such a rewarding experience. Their hard work, determination, and talent make this production one-ofa-kind and not to be missed!”

“The Tree I Carry” by Shahin Gorgani presented by METL at UNCSA School of Filmmaking and MUSE WinstonSalem and hosted by The Thomas S. Kenan Institute for the Arts is not just an installation; it is a journey into the depths of memory, imagination, and identity, transcending the borders of Iran.

This captivating experience encapsulates a treasury of images, dreams, and sounds, each deeply intertwined with the essence of a place far away. It is a testament to the profound connection between one’s homeland and the fragments of it carried within, even when physically distant.

“The Tree I Carry” is not bound by conventional notions of reality or unreality. Instead, it invites visitors to explore the boundaries of what can be perceived, encouraging them to step into a world where dreams and memories are interwoven, creating a unique tapestry of emotions and experiences. It is a photograph of life, not as it is, but as it can be imagined — a canvas where the mind paints with vivid colors of longing and nostalgia.

This innovative installation employs cutting-edge technology, featuring an LED screen and Unreal Engine software.

It transforms into a mesmerizing dance of shifting landscapes, blurring the line between what is real and what is a product of the imagination. As visitors embark on this dreamlike journey, they become part of a surreal, immersive experience — a dream in motion, where the boundaries of perception are stretched to their limits.

Familiar scents intertwine with the unfamiliar, evoking a sense of nostalgia

and discovery simultaneously. It is an invitation to surrender to the fragrance, allowing it to transport one to uncharted worlds and share in the magic of imagination.

“The Tree I Carry” ventures into the realm of hypotheticals, asking intriguing questions about memory and manipulation of reality. What if memories could fade in a space devoid of their essence?

What if reality could be molded into delightful madness, leaving one uncertain of their place in the narrative? It challenges visitors to question the fluidity of their own perceptions and the boundaries of their reality.

Language, another integral facet of identity, takes center stage within this installation.

Each individual’s fabric of time, language, space, and memory weaves a distinct narrative. Here, poetry envelops visitors in an immersive voyage, where words become vessels for emotions and memories.

Moreover, “The Tree I Carry” serves as a poignant commentary on the struggles of Iranian women and the ongoing quest for identity. It delves into the complexities of masculinity within Iranian culture, shedding light on the dynamic shifts in contemporary Iran.

In its essence, “The Tree I Carry” is more than an installation — it is a testament to the enduring connection between one’s homeland and their inner world. It is an exploration of dreams and memories, a dance between reality and imagination, and a celebration of the multifaceted nature of identity. This immersive experience will be presented at the Creative Community Lab from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Oct. 19-21. Admission is free.

GCS Superintendent calls to make communities safer Dear GCS Families and Community, On Friday, September 29, a shooting incident occurred after the Dudley High versus Smith High football game. The incident happened in the parking lot, Whitney Oakley within 50 feet of two police patrol cars, lights flashing.

I was at the game Friday night. The game was peaceful, well-planned, and wellstaffed by law enforcement and school staff. Yet, despite these efforts, as students, families and fans were leaving the campus after the game, one individual not believed to be affiliated with either school was shot and killed. Additionally, a Smith High student also suffered gunshot injuries, and two other individuals were injured by a vehicle and were treated and released.

What should have been the beginning of Dudley’s homecoming celebration with fun and fanfare became a crime scene.

This must stop.

Incidents of violence have no place in our school community. This incident is not about Dudley High, Smith High, or any of our schools. It is about our willingness as a community to stop this senseless violence from happening on our campuses and in our communities.

I have said before that we have a gun epidemic in this country. Guns are too accessible and easy to fall into the wrong hands. Recent community violence trends and the incident on Friday further proved that truth, and it is clear that we as a community must do more to address violence.

We know that firearms have become the number one cause of death for children and adolescents in the United States.

While the district cannot solve this gun crisis on our own, we will continue to collaborate with all three local law enforcement agencies in Guilford County, doing our part to address this crisis.

Guilford County Schools leaders are resolved to continue our work to keep our students, staff and visitors safe. School safety is a top priority for me, having been elevated to a key component in the district’s four strategic direction focus areas.

As part of this effort, the district deployed OCTOBER 11-17, 2023

more than a dozen new tactics for our comprehensive school safety strategy listed below, including: • Significantly expanding and restructuring our district’s school safety and emergency, management office; • Upgrading more than 2,000 cameras with advanced technology; • Installing school bus cameras across the district; • Adding touchless security scanners at all of our comprehensive middle and high schools; • Employing safe entry points at athletic events; • Implementing a clear bag policy at athletic events; • Partnering and training with local law enforcement, Emergency Medical Services, Emergency • Management and fire department officials; • Installing anonymous reporting capabilities on all district devices in grades three and up; • Adding mental health support for students and staff; • Engaging students in leadership about this important issue; • Revising our code of conduct; • Providing staffing incentives for athletic events; and • Implementing anti-bullying training and reporting procedures for staff to name a few.

My team and I have also been working with leaders across the community to address this problem. Solving this important issue requires a multi-layered approach and long-term commitment from our community as a whole.

While there is not one solution to solving the challenges we face, I invite you to join us in having courageous conversations and working together to improve the safety of our community. I also want to remind everyone to say something to a school staff member or law enforcement official if they see something suspicious and only share information you can personally verify.

Together, we can make our communities safer.

In partnership, Whitney Oakley, Ed.D. Superintendent !

Stock ‘n’ roll: Dumb Money delivers a potent parable

M

aybe it’s the

word “dumb” in the title or an advertising campaign that hints at a broad Mark Burger comedy, but Dumb Money is quite a welcome surprise Contributor this season. It’s a fact-based financial fable based on Ben Mezrich’s non-fiction best-seller The Antisocial Network. (Then again, that title might not have enticed audiences, either.)

Make no mistake, the film is a comedy, but not a satire. Although alterations and embellishments are par for the course, what happens in Dumb Money happened in real life, only a mere three years ago, and proves once again that truth is stranger — and a bit crazier — than fiction.

The effortlessly engaging Paul Dano, coming off a stellar turn as the pained patriarch in Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans last year, portrays Keith Gill, a financial analyst and part-time YouTuber who unwittingly causes a financial firestorm when he recommends that his followers buy stock in GameStop, a company that appeared for all intents and purposes to be at death’s door. Some

TOP NOTCH ROOFING AND JAY’S LIGHT LAND CLEARING Installs New Shingled and Metal Roofs Bobcat Work Dump Truck Hauling Bathroom Remodeling IN BUSINESS SINCE 1969

of them did, causing a ripple effect that initially seemed like a fluke. Gill’s “movement,” as it were, was spearheaded by outsiders, until the insiders began to sit up and take notice.

If Dano’s Gill personifies the underdog, Seth Rogen, Vincent D’Onofrio, Sebastian Stan, Rushi Kota, and Nick Offerman represent the finance favorites, those Wall Street wizards whose reactions to the rise in GameStop investing have considerable ramifications for all involved.

Yet the screenplay, by executive producers Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo (their first), doesn’t vilify the wealthy. It may mock their affluence — and occasional arrogance or ignorance — but you don’t hate them. This, however, has been no solace to Citadel Securities founder and CEO Ken Griffin, who has reportedly been upset by Offerman’s depiction of him in the film. (Actually, Offerman isn’t on screen all that much, and he gives a droll performance.)

Producer/director Craig Gillespie does a solid job juggling the number of characters involved, some of whom never meet during the film, without getting bogged down in monetary minutiae. He also captures the angst and agita of the pandemic lockdown period in which the film takes place. People were struggling financially, sometimes acted impulsively or rashly, and became more dependent on the internet for information and merely a semblance of human interaction. In a nutshell, that’s essentially what happened here. Gill hardly intend-

ed to start what might be described as a revolution. He was merely an idealist — perhaps a bit naïve — who generously shared his opinions with his followers.

He could not have foreseen what would transpire.

Dano holds things together as the proverbial center of the hurricane, but the solid ensemble cast includes Shailene Woodley, Pete Davidson, Olivia Thirlby, Talia Ryder, Myha’la, Anthony Ramos, UNCSA School of Drama graduate Dane DeHaan (in a small but funny part), and America Ferrera, enjoying a much better role than in the recent Barbie blockbuster. Everyone has their moment to shine, and it’s also nice to see Clancy Brown and Kate Burton lending some gravitas to Gill’s working-class parents.

The underdog may not necessarily triumph in the end, but he does get a fair shake — and everyone learns a cautionary lesson. !

The Ministry of Health in the Sakhalin region of Russia revealed on Oct. 2 that an 80-year-old woman had been discovered to be living with a 1-inch needle in her brain, Insider reported. Radiologists had found the needle with an X-ray; doctors believe it has been there since her birth, when her parents may have tried to kill her because of war and famine.

However, the woman survived and never suffered headaches from the object. She is being monitored by a physician.

As Michael Gardner, 62, officiated a wedding in Denton, Nebraska, on Sept.

30, he inexplicably tried to get the attention of the guests by shooting a handgun into the air, CNN reported. Instead, Gardner shot his 12-year-old grandson in the shoulder. Lancaster County Sheriff ’s Office Chief Ben Houchin said Gardner wanted to “start the wedding with a bang. When he decided to cock back the hammer of this revolver, it slipped.” The ammunition was a blank, but Gardner had apparently “put black powder into the casing and then glued it,” Houchin said. “The glue is what injured the child.”

Gardner was charged with child abuse.

“The act was not very smart,” Houchin said.

RECURRING THEMES

— In Palm Coast, Florida, on Sept. 30, 76-year-old Cheryl Henderson crashed her SUV into a pickup truck, ClickOrlando reported. The pickup’s driver pulled his truck in front of Henderson’s vehicle, hoping to avoid her leaving the scene — but when she started to do just that, he leapt onto her hood and held on for dear life as she raced along for two miles, going up to 50 mph. A good Samaritan followed her and nudged her off the road onto the shoulder. Henderson told deputies that she didn’t stop because she was out of gas; she was charged with leaving the scene of a crash and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. The pickup driver didn’t suffer serious injury.

— In St. Louis County, Missouri, 38-year-old Stephanie Boyd of Vinita Park was charged with domestic assault and resisting arrest on Sept. 28 after she and her husband got into a dispute.

According to WFTV, Boyd moved to leave the house in a car after an argument, and her husband climbed onto the hood; Boyd drove onto I-70 and continued for five miles with him clinging to the

vehicle. Finally, an officer stopped them; Boyd’s bond was set at $100,000.

THE CONTINUING CRISIS

Maybe it’s time to pay teachers more.

Brianna Coppage, 28, an English teacher at St. Clair High School in St. Clair, Missouri, was put on leave on Sept. 28 after district officials discovered she was performing on the pornography website OnlyFans. The St. Louis PostDispatch reported that Coppage claimed she joined the site over the summer to supplement her income. “I knew this day was coming,” she said. “The district says they haven’t made a decision yet, but I’m just kind of putting the pieces together that I am not coming back,” she added.

She said she made an additional $8,000 to $10,000 per month from the site. “I can’t control what people think of me. ... I’m not doing anything illegal. I am a good friend. I am a good family member.

That is all I can think about right now,” Coppage said.

— The Metropolitan Transit Authority in New York City has had enough of bad behavior on the subway, The Messenger reported. On Oct. 3, the MTA launched its Courtesy Counts campaign, hoping to encourage riders to practice common decency. You know, things like: Don’t leave your trash on the train. Don’t block the doors. Use headphones. And of course, that Emily Post mainstay: Wait until you get home to clip your nails. “In our busy lives, it’s easy to forget that your own individual behavior can have an impact on your fellow riders’ commute. The goal isn’t to lecture anyone,” said MTA senior adviser Shanifah Rieara.

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

The Township of Bonnechere Valley in Ontario, Canada, is on a mission to change the name of its most famous street: Harry Dick Road, United Press International reported. John Henry “Harry” Dick was born on the property in 1957, and his family has occupied three homes there for five generations. “Well, people think that’s very, very funny, and the signs started to disappear,” explained Lois Dick, Harry’s wife. Officials said the sign is stolen about four times per year; the family installed a security camera, but it got stolen too. Lois noted that a name change will be a hassle for the family: “Any legal document with our address on it is going to have to be changed,” she lamented. Harry just wants the thefts to stop: “All I want is some peace and quietness,” he said. !

Men Who Can Cook now doing it ‘with a twist’ Since 2001, local men known to their families and friends as accomplished amateur chefs have been participating in Greensboro’s annual Men Can Cook fundraiser to support the WomIan McDowell en’s Resource Center of Greensboro.

This year they’re Contributor doing it with a twist.

According to Hope Strickland, the center’s Director of Community Education and Engagement, that means it’s now a drink-mixing and pouring as well as cooking event.

“This year’s event comes ‘with a twist’ — the option to purchase tickets to our Twisted Tasting Room where guests can sample small-batch, hand-crafted wines, beers, ciders, meads and distilled spirits from award-winning Triad-area producers: Grove Vineyards & Winery, Junius Lindsay Vineyard, Stardust Cellars, Bull City Ciderworks, Fainting Goat Spirits, and SouthEnd Brewing Company.”

There will be plenty of food for those who want to eat (or at least taste) a wide variety of dishes but not partake of potent potables. As in previous years, Men Can Cook will feature more than 50 men from the community serving the dishes they’ve made famous in their own homes and at parties, picnics, and potlucks.

Guests can enjoy dozens of their smallbite samples at the Women’s Resource Center of Greensboro’s premiere fundraising event, Men Can Cook...with a Twist, which will take place on Saturday, October 14 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. inside Piedmont Hall in the Greensboro Coliseum Complex at 2409 West Gate City Boulevard.

“Guests are invited to sample exciting foodie creations and libations in what promises to be Greensboro’s culinary rave of the year,” wrote Strickland. “Additionally, the event features live musical entertainment from Low Key, a photo booth, and a silent auction featuring unique gift baskets, donated by generous community supporters.”

She also told YES! Weekly the Women’s Resource Center greatly appreciates this year’s Premiere Sponsor, Christopher T. Barbee, Stifel Financial Advisors/Gonzales-Barbee Wealth Management Group, for making it possible for these Men Can Cook and their guests can eat.

The Women’s Resource Center of WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

Greensboro is a one-stop nonprofit that assists women and families in Guilford County. Its services include a legal resource network that includes a free attorney hotline, the Women to Work program providing career assessments and advice on resume development, interviewing techniques, and how to make home skills marketable, as well as workshops on topics related to financial, physical, emotional, and relationship health.

The Center’s annual Men Can Cook fundraiser event began in 2001 and now raises more than $100,000 annually. “This is the Center’s only fundraising event each year, and we are so grateful for the generous support from our volunteers, sponsors, and community that allows us to continue providing support to more than 7,500 families each year,” said Marti Smith, the Center’s Director of Operations.

General admission tickets for Men Can Cook...with a Twist are $50 each and available at the door or via eventbrite. com/e/men-can-cook-with-a-twist-tickets-623725398457. Tickets to the tasting room, which is located at the bar on the right side of the venue, can be purchased at the event by attendees who are 21 and over, and will include samples of 18 different beers, wines, and spirits from six different vendors.

But what of the food and those proudly preparing it?

“I actually do 90 percent of the cooking in our house just because my wife prefers it that way,” said Joe Killian. “I don’t make anything too impressive or complicated, but I’ve gotten good at enough things over the years that I can feed family or friends pretty reliably. I’m making one of my go-to recipes for a big crowd, corn chowder that is dangerous to have around the house because once it’s there you can’t stop eating it.”

Killian is a former News & Record reporter who is now an award-winning journalist for NC Policy Watch.

“I have a friend on the board of the Women’s Resource Center and several friends who have cooked for this event

Curtis Hunter

Bob Weston and Allen Broach

before, so when I got an invite, I thought I’d give it a try.”

Our State writer Eddie Huffman, who is also working on a book about Doc Watson, is another first-timer. “One of the Men Can Cook organizers, Mel Umbarger, was the best boss I’ve ever had, so when she asked me to participate, I was happy to say yes.

COSTUME PARTIES

For the freaks at Euphoria in WinstonSalem, it’s costume season all month long, with themed contests running each weekend, building toward a big finale party (and cash prize). Starting on October 13 with “Nightmares and Slashers,” “TV and Movie Characters” reign on October 20, and it’s a Couple’s Court (or folks in Uniforms) on October 27. Winners from each evening advance to the blowout competition and party on October 28.

Meanwhile, the dead come alive in Greensboro for a special birthday bash and Zombie Prom celebrating College Hill Sundries’ “longest-tenured bartender” on October 13. Downtown, adults take over the Miriam P. Brenner Children’s Museum on October 19 for a grown-up Halloween spooktacular with spirits and activities (but no kids allowed).

And as the month rolls on, “Grown and

Sexy” remains a theme when NC-A&T’s “Greatest Homecoming on Earth” once again coincides with Halloween antics and costume parties across downtown Greensboro: “A Nightmare on Elm Street” at LimeLight on October 27 boasts four bars and four DJs over three-floors (with a huge-purse costume contest). On Halloween night proper, the “GHOE Purge” extends across XO Social Lounge and One 17 Sofa Bar & Lounge; plus “Super Gremlin 2” at Elm Street Lounge; and the Nxlevel “Fright Night” at Vault 816.

BANDS AND BOOS

UNC-G hits a different Halloween note for their “Halloween organ spooktacular” at the School of Music on October 30.

Winstoners, meanwhile, are kicking things off early: Masqued Mayhem takes over the Ramkat on October 14, with a cover show featuring Viva Le Vox as the New York Dolls, Hey Revolver as The Cure, Pilzvolk as The Cramps, and Orphan Riot as Blink 182. Mauve Angeles will enthrall into the evening with an afterparty at Gas Hill; they’re also on decks for Ramkat’s Halloween Silent Disco Dance Party with DJs SK and Pookie La Fever on October 20.

A few blocks over at Toasted, Bad Art Collective will present the “Ghoul Gala” on October 20, with $IFU, Nervous Surface, Daniel Vaughan, Lucid Amethyst, Transcendentalweather, Boydmoney, and Snoffthemaker; plus art and wares from

Super Them Tooth Gems, Poniebeads, Jjunglebeads, Baby W33d, Allnbones, and Larking Vintage; a “Fright Night” Raffle; and “Bad to the Bone” photobooth to capture costumed-shots.

Festival freaks will likewise gather for the “Graveyard Getdown,” October 20-21, at GuilRock Downs in Summerfield, for two days of art and haunts, along with a musical lineup featuring: Toubab Krewe, Big Daddy Love, Empire Strikes Brass, The Keith Allen Circus, Psylo Joe, Into the Fog, Deadtown Cosmonauts, Cosmic Superduo, DJSEANEBOY, and a ”spine-tingling festival supergroup known as The Graveyard MonSTARS.” Triad college radio stations, WUAG and WQFS are getting into their spooky-festispirits: with WUAG hosting “Terrorfest” on the EUC Lawn (October 27), featuring music from Toothsome, Katie.Blvd, Christian Summers, and Dr. Shug; plus short films from UNC-G’s Carmichael Studios and Amateur Hour Productions.

Dr. Shug will hop over to Guilford College for WQFS’ “Neck of the Woods: Halloweekend Music Festival,” on October 28; with other N.C. artists like Breadbowl, Bedroom Division, SCOBY, and Ashley Virginia.

SCOBY and Virginia will play double ghoul duty as scheduled artists for the “Ghoul Moon Festival” that evening, at the West Salem Art Hotel on October 28.

For their second-hallowed endeavor, the folks behind the Full Moon Festival have

partnered with the D.O.S.E. Artist Collective to present a moon-filled evening of art, magic, and music from Fifth Floor, Ephraim Snow, Tim Poovey, CAKES OV LIGHT, When We’re Sober, Zach McCraw, and Spirit System. Beyond the tunes, frights and delights from more than 40 vendors and eateries will be on hand; plus demonstrations and workshops from TwoFold Printing, Be Free Rooted, Culture, The Humane Society, Southside Food Forest, Mourning Feathers Doulas, and GreeNest, LAM Museum of Anthro WF, Red Feather Equine Rescue, and The Breathing Room.

In the spirit, organizers invite folks to wander the “Ghoul Garden Trail,” and take part in one of three costume contests: kids, adults, and pups (with dog treats from Howlin’ At The Moon Bakery).

Down at the Millennium Center, it’s a big weekend for the crew at Ziggy’s, who’ve partnered with the “six-headed musical monster” known as Big Something, to present a Haunted Mansion blowout featuring special guests The Wright Ave and Red Panda on October 28. The crew will keep runnin’ with the devil as they’re also hosting “Van Halloween” that evening at Stock + Grain in High Point; featuring music from Mean Street (a Van Halen tribute harkening to the ‘78-’84 lineup), and the Hurt Line with an 80s glam costume contest to match.

Meanwhile, the Beer & Fear Bash returns to Castle McCulloch on October 28, with a

Huckleberry Shine spooks up the Garage Tavern’s costume contest on October 28, meanwhile Killing Fiction looks to slay at Springers.

Next door at Wahoo’s, Sweet Dream channels the Police (and other covers) along with original tunes blasting into Halloween night.

STAGE AND SCREEN

In the realm of spectator spooks: Modern Robot will bring its live score screening of “Night of the Living Dead” to the Flat Iron on October 13 and to the Reeves Theatre in Elkin on October 27. Horror Movie Freaks descend on Walnut Cove for the HMF Film Festival, featuring 33 independent horror films screened over two days at the Palmetto Theatre, October 13-14.

Jumping from screens to the stage, the Goodly Frame Theatre will debut Triad playwright, Jay Smith’s, adaptation of “Frankenstein,” Oct. 13-15, at the Greensboro Masonic Temple. Around the Winston-Salem area: deadites return to Camel City Playhouse for “Evil Dead: the Musical,” Oct. 19-29; “Rocky Horror” comes alive at the Winston-Salem Theatre Alliance, Oct. 26-30; and Camel City Burlesk teams up with Breathe Cocktail Lounge for a “Big Top Freakshow,” followed by a costume party on Oct. 28.

HISTORY AND HAUNTS

From flash and falsies to history and haunts: Woods of Terror, Kersey Valley Spooky Woods, Scream Dreams, Spooky

Bottom Trails, Cypress Trails, and Wicked Whimsies are all in full swing through Halloween weekend.

Getting to the facts: the Historic Jamestown Society will host “Tales from beyond the Grave,” highlighting the history of those who rest at Deep River Friends Cemetery (one of the oldest in the area,) Oct. 13-14. Meanwhile, they’ll also share “True Tales of the Macabre,” with a special afterdark series at the Mendenhall Homeplace, Oct. 20-21.

Specters arise around Winston-Salem as Jeff Jenkin’s hosts “Paranormal Night,” a discussion of otherworldly encounters, at Gas Hill Drinking Room on Oct. 25. A “Spirited Halloween Ball” and seance engulfs Korner’s Folly on Oct. 27 (with suggested Victorian attire, to boot.) And “Boo! at Bethabara” offers a chance encounter with the spirits who linger in the park’s 189-year-old Log House on Oct. 28.

TRICKS AND TREATS

Families and furry fiends can also look forward to the fun of varying frights.

Around Winston-Salem, the Mixxer Community Makerspace will host a Halloween Open House and Costume Contest on the afternoon of Oct. 21; meanwhile, the Treat Trail returns that day to Bolton Park.

On Oct. 29, Kaleideum North will host a “BOOsted Truck-and-Treat” event in their parking lot, with a trick-or-treat taking over the Outdoor Science and Environmental Park.

Dogs rule at the All Pets Considered BOO! Bash in Sedgefield on Oct. 21, with pumpkin carving and face painting for the humans; plus an adoption fair and costume contests for the pups. Familyfriendly spooks continue at the third annual Adam’s Family Halloween that afternoon as the JH Adams Inn turns into a haunted hotel of its own; and the High Point Athletic Complex. Goes ‘“Halloween Hoopla” with hayrides, haunted trails, and a trunk-or-treat.

In Greensboro, the Windsor Recreation Center will host a Trunk-or-Treat on Oct. 21; meanwhile, Ghoulash descends over downtown with scare-free trick-or-treats and a host of kid-friendly activities across area businesses and parks. Rock 92 joins the less-frightening fun with their “Nightmare Off Elm Street” trunkor-treat party on Oct. 25, with a special

appearance from 2 Guys Named Chris.

Around the corner, Boxcar’s Halloween party starts early and goes late on Oct. 28. Families and fur-babies can enjoy costumes and treats during the day; as the evening rolls on, Magician Matt Novak will dazzle with magic and macabre; before DJ Wawa takes the decks of the main bar that night for an adults-only costume contest, meanwhile DJ “The Alyen” will take the Boxcar event space to outer space (with a neon alien experience and costume category all its own).

In more earthly events, the Lake Brandt Halloween Party will offer a costumed paddle session, Creepy Creatures family activities and spooky stories shared over campfire s’mores on Oct. 28. Meanwhile, Guilford County Animal Resources will present “Howl-o-ween,” a costume party with treats for all ages (and breeds) at Country Park on Oct. 29.

As Devil’s Night looms, the Glenwood Zombie Walk beckons the undead to shamble from the Glenwood Library to the Glenwood Recreation Center for face painting and pizza on Oct. 30; by the following evening, the Glenwood Rec center will turn into a real Monster Mash, with costumes, candy, crafts and games on Oct. 31. Spooktacular celebrations continue at the Brown Recreation Center. And roll even further, with a costumed skate session hosted by the Triad Skate Group, at Smith High School Halloween night.

Once the ghouls go back to rest and the pumpkins start to turn, the City of Greensboro’s Office of Sustainability and Resilience invites the community to a big ol’ pumpkin smash at Lake Brandt on Nov 4. !

[TRIVIA TEST]

Week of October 16, 2023

again, you show your skills at being able to indulge in your love of the arts this week while still taking care of practical matters, including some still-unfinished business matters.

[GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A

potential change might be what you’ve been looking for. In any event, consider both the negative as well as the positive possibilities before making any sort of decision.

[CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Relationships continue to dominate your aspect this week on a mostly positive level, with just a few problem areas that you need to smooth over. Also, try to be flexible about travel plans.

[LEO (July 23 to August 22) You love

being on center stage, and while you absolutely purr at the sound of all that praise, be careful not to take on too many commitments at the expense of time spent with loved ones.

[VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might feel that you need to get involved in a matter concerning a friend or a relative. But while the issues appear to be cut and dried, they might not be. Get more facts before you act.

[LIBRA (September 23 to October

22) A suggestion about a policy change could create heated reactions. Keep your

[1. GEOGRAPHY: Which body of water

[6. SCIENCE: Which metal conducts

[SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) While potential career changes warrant your interest, don’t ignore your current job responsibilities. A personal relationship can also benefit from more of your attention.

[2. TELEVISION: What city is the setting

[7. HISTORY: What is believed to be the

[3. U.S. PRESIDENTS: What is President

[8. ANATOMY: What is the longest

[5. MUSIC: What is the pop band that

[10. ASTRONOMY: In which constel-

[SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to

December 21) Don’t guess at what the facts might be if you hope to make the best decision possible. The wisest course is to ask direct questions and act on the answers you receive.

[CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your efforts involving that pesky problem should soon show positive signs of being resolved. This should allow you to shift some of your focus in another direction.

[AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) While you might enjoy well-deserved praise for getting a difficult job done, there’s no time to relax. A new challenge looms. Expect support from a once-strong critic.

[PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You still might have explaining to do regarding a recent decision, but support grows as you continue to make your case.

You might also want to start making plans for the upcoming holidays.

[BORN THIS WEEK: You insist on making decisions based on facts, not on popular opinions. Have you ever considered a career in science?

lies between Alaska and Russia?

for the dramatic series The Wire?

Joe Biden’s Secret Service code name? island in Jurassic Park?

The Dude dislikes in “The Big Lebowski”?

electricity best?

oldest system of writing?

muscle in the human body?

observe Daylight Savings Time?

lation can you find the Horsehead Nebula?

answer 6. Silver.

7. Cuneiform.

8. Sartorius, which stretches from the pelvis to the knee.

9. Arizona and Hawaii.

10. Orion.

[TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Yet

mind open and resist joining in with naysayers unless they can show a real basis for their position.

1. Bering Strait.

2. Baltimore, Maryland.

3. Celtic.

4. Isla Nublar.

5. The Eagles.

[ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your moodier side might emerge this week. But the dark period should pass in time for the party-loving Lamb to go on a happy gambol with some very special people this weekend.
