Costume Ideas: voodoo practitioner, swamp person/ogre, bog witch, rougarou, swamp critter/monster/ROUS, Dagobah visitor, scientist-turned-swamp-monster, adventurer, Dark Ones persona, medieval garb, swimsuit

Mists rise among the moss-draped trees, the moon naught but a sliver, and whispers carry on the humid air. You’re summoned to attend a night of creepy creatures, murky mayhem, and swampy revelry!

Descend into the madness if you dare and lose yourself in a world of voodoo practitioners, swamp monsters, and more. Prepare to indulge your darkest fantasies, dance to haunting rhythms, and test your wits against the swamp’s playful (and perhaps a little devious) games.

But the swamp demands sustenance! Bring a creepy, crawly, or swampy-themed dish or drink to share in this macabre potluck. Bonus points for creativity that chills! All are welcome to help fund this madness through PayPal or cash contributions. Volunteers are also needed to bring this swamptastic party to life.

Let us know if you’re coming, what you’re bringing, or how you’d like to help.
