FROM THE EDITOR Today is Halloween.

If you have young kids, your evening is, of course, already planned out. You’ll almost certainly be roaming your neighborhood — and quite possibly some fancier neighborhoods that aren’t yours — in search of really good candy. How much ground you cover is dependent upon the ages of your children, the worst-case scenario being that you have a 10-year-old who wants to run from

home to home coupled together with a 2-year-old who isn’t exactly comfortable walking long distances. In the dark. In an awkward-fitting costume.

But perhaps you’re one of the people beyond the door. Some of you might actually open said door every time there’s a knock or a ringing doorbell to hand out some quality candy in person. Or maybe you’d rather just enjoy a quiet night at home watching “Ghostbusters” with the lights out and prefer leaving a big dish of treats outside on the front porch as opposed to actually answering the door.

Then there are those of you who are teenagers or college students or adults

who never outgrew the desire to put on a costume and become someone else for one wild night. You’ll appreciate Jason Turner’s first-person cover story on the local haunted-house scene if you’re still looking for some place to go tonight to mingle with the undead.

And in case you don’t fit into any of the previously mentioned categories, you can always stroll over to the USU Performance Hall to listen to the Fry Street Quartet and British violist Roger Chase. See page 5 for more information on that concert.

Just remember, no masks, please.

Keaton soars in ‘Birdman’

But comeback vehicle comes across a little self-involved

“The Space Race was a worldwide contest to get off the world. ” – Cache Magazine humor columnist Dennis Hinkamp (Page 11)

Don’t let the superhero title fool you, “Birdman” is unlike anything you’re expecting it to be. It’s this utterly bizarre, infinitely watchable technological marvel that devolves, at times, into a frothing-atthe-mouth commentary on criticism, the state of social media and our own bloated self-worth. How much of an impact that the film’s obvious agenda has on its viewer is likely dependent upon how much the person watching can stand being talked down to.

Quotable

Pet: MJ From: Cache Humane Society Why he’s so lovable: I am a pastel calico, and my thick fur will need to be brushed often. Watch out, I like to steal the volunteers’ chairs, so I need to be adopted by someone who’ll allow me on furniture. I actually prefer to sit on a person than a chair, but people here at the shelter don’t have time to snuggle me as much as I want.

I’ve adjusted to sharing close quarters with other cats in a communal cage, so I think I can get along with another cat or two. Just give me a chance to win your heart — it will only take a moment.

has become a chart-topping, multi-national Celtic band, and with its newest album, the band is dishing up a hearty serving of “Full Irish.” The greatest hits album spans the bulk of the band’s career from 2004-14, mixing crowd favorites and concert staples with three previously unreleased recordings.

AFCO to honor military vets Annual concert set for Nov. 11

By Kerry Bringhurst

In what has become a celebration of community solidarity to honor U.S. military service men and women, the annual American Festival Chorus and Orchestra Veterans’ Day Memorial concert will include selections from popular productions as well as traditional tunes heard on battlefields and at military events.

Retired and active service members will be recognized and asked to stand during renditions of “The Marine’s Hymn,” “The Caisson Song,” “Anchors Aweigh,” “The Army Air Corps Song” and “Semper Paradus” and are invited to attend the concert wearing their military uniform and attire.

Under the direction of Craig Jessop, the choir will perform alongside Utah State University’s Symphony Orchestra directed by Utah State University Professor Sergio Bernal at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 11, the Kent Concert Hall on the USU campus.

Admission is free.

Please call 797-3004 for more information.

The concert will feature a rare performance of a Symphony No. 1 “Lord of the Rings,” written 25 years ago by Dutch composer Johan De Meij. Based on the Tolkien novel, the work predates the more recent film trilogy by over a decade. The vision of making a music-exclusive impression of this literary work in 1989 was unique, and the musical craft has made the piece one of the most significant symphonies for wind band in the past 30 years.

Editor of Powder magazine and author of “Deep: The Story of Skiing and the Future of Snow,” Porter Fox, will speak at Utah State University on Wednesday, Nov. 5, during Common Hour.

The presentation will feature the 8,000-year history of skiing, the most celebrated ski slopes in the Northern Hemisphere and the miracle of snow and why these could all be gone in the next 75 years. With Rocky Mountain snowpack down 20 percent and a billion-dollar ski industry in Utah, the future of skiing and snow have a big impact on the state. Fox will discuss why it is time to take action and how efforts to save snow just might end up saving the world.

Fox will present from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. in the Taggart Student Center Auditorium. A book signing will follow. Fox will speak again at 7:30 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Logan. Both events are free and open to the public.

American Brass Quintet to play Thursday The American Brass Quintet will perform at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, in the USU Performance Hall.

The American Brass Quintet will mix it up at their upcoming concert with a varied program of early and contemporary music. Joyful and expressive 16th-century Italian Renaissance music from the time of Gabrieli and Gesualdo’s startling chromatic madrigals alternate with mid-20th century and contemporary compositions by Lacerda, Schuller, Snow and Ewazen.

Newsweek calls them “the high priests of brass,” and American Record Guide hails them as “the most distinguished” of all the

London’s Daily Telegraph says, “It is quite impossible to overpraise the playing of the American Brass Quintet ... they have everything ... brilliance, attack, perfect ensemble and intonation, and a tone quality of unrivaled purity, range and power. ” The American Brass Quintet has been internationally recognized as one of the premiere chamber music ensembles of our time, beginning with the quintet’s Carnegie Hall debut in 1960.

The ensemble has earned an outstanding reputation in the region by performing at three the College Band Directors National Association Western/Northwestern Division conferences since 2002 as well as the Utah Music Educators Convention.

harks back to Gaelic Storm’s early days as a pub band in Santa Monica, California, long before the group played the Telluride Festival, the Rock Boat cruise, or high-profile theaters in countries like France and Spain. Together, these 15 songs celebrate the sunny side of life, urging listeners to raise their hands and stomp their feet.

“When you go eat pub food in Ireland,” explains Steve Twigger, “you can order the ‘Full Irish,’ which is a combination of mushrooms, beans, bacon, sausage, black pudding, white pudding … It’s the works, basically.

That idea seemed to represent everything about this album.

This is the works. Everything we do is represented.”

Regularly playing more than 120 shows a year, Gaelic Storm has built a loyal following as diverse as the band’s own music. Fans of traditional Irish music have championed the group for years, but so have fans of harder-edged Celtic rock. On tour, Gaelic Storm is just as likely to play a large rock club as a plush theater. The band makes regular appearances on cruises, too, joining artists like the Barenaked Ladies and Michael Franti.

“Our audience spans the whole spectrum,” Twigger says. “We’ll play a rock venue one night, then a performing arts center that might’ve hosted a ballet performance the night before.”

‘Nightcrawler’

Spirits move ‘Ouija’ to No. 1 at the box office NEW YORK (AP) — The spirits moved “Ouija” to No. 1 at the box office, with the board-game adaption leading the weekend with a $20 million debut, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The horror movie release, timed to Halloween, attracted more moviegoers at the North America box office than the violent Keanu Reeves thriller “John Wick.” The

R-rated hit-man revenge tale from Lionsgate opened with $14.2 million in second place.

Last week’s top film, the Brad Pitt World War II action film “Fury,” slid to third with $13 million.

In two weeks, the Sony Pictures release has made $46.1 million.

Jake Gyllenhaal has sort of mastered the loner sociopath role. Usually playing a man stuck in his own head, Gyllenhaal’s manic energy is the driving force behind many of his most recent films. In “Prisoners” he played a loner detective with a nervous tick and a knack for reading people.

In “Enemy” he portrayed an obsessive recluse who finds his doppelganger. In “Nightcrawler” he plays Lou Bloom, resident Los Angeles sociopath with dreams of grandeur. Each of these performances act as the film’s proverbial engine.

A maniacal life-force which emanates from Gyllenhaal’s methodstyle acting.

On the surface “Nightcrawler” may appear to be a harsh comment on the state of media, most notably the unwritten local news credo, “If it bleeds, it leads.” It sure does seem to have a lot to say on the subject, but I’m not convinced this is simply a commentary on the awfulness perpetuated by a pessimistic news cycle. It appears to be much more about how

Among the frightening volunteers this Halloween season at the Terror Factory Haunted House are (clockwise from top left): Hannah Weeks, Josh Petersen, Zach Archibald and Maren Ferre.

GOING IN SEARCH OF TERROR Writer embraces local opportunities to be scared to death

I

admit it. I love spooking people and being spooked.

This will not come as a surprise to those who know me well, but I’m addicted to various Halloween attractions.

When my future wife and I went on our first date on Oct. 13, 2007, we decided to pay a visit to the Haunted Forest in American Fork.

Apparently, I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed having costumed people chase me with chainsaws, scream in my ears and spring forth from their hiding places, because I can’t get enough of it now.

Every year since we were married in 2008, my wife and I have gone to two of Cache Valley’s most well known haunted attractions — the Haunted Hollow at the American West Heritage Center and Little Bear Bottom’s Haunted River Trail.

Now, there are even more options for those in our valley who enjoy having people in creepy masks and costumes jump out at them. There are even a couple of choices for those who prefer to avoid the often frigid fall nights of northern Utah.

One of those indoor attractions is the Terror Factory Haunted House, which is located at 1695 S. 800 West in Logan. This haunted house first opened its doors in 2013.

“In our research, we hadn’t seen or heard of any (indoor haunted houses) for several years either, so that was one of main reasons that we thought let’s do this,” says Karen Higley who, along with her husband, Jeremy, co-owns the Terror Factory.

“It’s something that sounded fun and my husband’s always kind of wanted to be involved in a haunted house or kind of do what Sherwood Hills used to do. ... But it’s great having it indoors,

especially on the cold nights.”

W

hen they first brought their business to the building, the Higleys experimented with other forms of family entertainment. However, that only lasted a couple of months.

Scaring people in October is the route the Higleys decided to choose, and they don’t regret it one bit.

“That seemed to be the bigger hit, the thing that people were drawn to and wanting to be a part of, so that’s what we changed our focus to,” Karen says.

As is typically the case for local haunted attractions, the Terror Factory Haunted House is staffed by volunteers — many of whom are teenagers. The Higleys relied on word of mouth advertising to staff their haunted house with people who find joy in alarming others.

“The word just really spread,” says Karen, who went on to say they had approximately 50 volunteers. “We finally had to get to a point where we said, ‘We’ve got enough,’ because we had more than we needed.”

On the busiest nights, there are 25-30 volunteers at the haunted house, while the average is around 17-25, says Karen, who resides in Wellsville.

One of those staff members is Hannah Weeks, who is a sophomore at Mountain Crest High School. This is the first year the Nibley native has been a part of a haunted attraction, and it won’t be her last.

“I just like Halloween in general and I like being scared, and so I also like scaring people,” says Weeks, who typically dresses up like a zombie or the victim of a zombie attack. “I like the rush

of adrenaline that you get from doing it.”

Working with other Halloween enthusiasts like Weeks is one of the best things about owning a haunted house, Karen says.

“You know what? There’s a few best things (about this job),” Karen says. “I think, first of all, our staff (is great). We’ve just really had a ton of fun with the staff and watching them learn how to scare better ... and see what works and doesn’t work. ... We’ve loved experiencing that with them, and then really we just love scaring the public. It’s been a lot of fun.”

Weeks estimated she has been a cast member for 15 of the nights this October. What has been her favorite reaction so far?

“There was a girl and she could not find her way out (of the zombie room), and she just kind of screamed at her boyfriend that if she didn’t get out of there, she was going to pee her pants,” Weeks replies.

W

hen Weeks talked about a couple having a difficult time moving on from one room to another, she wasn’t exaggerating.

One of the unique features — at least I had never experienced this before — of this haunted house is its maze-like atmosphere. Indeed, it was a challenge to locate the exit of some of the rooms. Several of the exit doors were not obvious and, once you found them, some of them had hidden handles and knobs.

Additionally, you had to find a hidden instructions to open a couple of the doors. It was extremely dark in several of the rooms, thus those who went through the haunted house were given headlamps to use.

The use of strobe lights also

aided greatly in the ambiance of the haunted house. That, in my opinion, made the zombie room even more spooky.

Speaking of spooky, the three girls who surrounded my wife and I while signing “Ring Around the Rosy” was classic. Young girls are often very good at executing the creepy factor. Those of you who have seen the movie “The Ring” know what I am talking about.

Another new experience for me was the coffin room, where you are placed in what is luckily a more comfortable version of a coffin for two minutes. When the coffin door opens, you exit to a completely different location.

The use of mirrors also added a nice touch, as did the little girl who screamed for help while standing on a bed and then proceeded to follow you for quite some time.

O

ver the past three weeks, my wife and I have been to five other haunted attractions — the Haunted Hallow, Haunted River Trail, Hyde Park Spook Alley, Haunted Holow in Ogden and Dark Meadows Manor at Riverdale Resort in Preston. We also hope to make our way to the 10th West Scare House this weekend.

Kudos to whoever designed the bat costume at the Haunted Hollow at the American West Heritage Center. That is probably my favorite costume of all time. Also, bravo to the person disguised as a bush at the Haunted Hollow.

The people at Dark Meadows Manor found a way to use the larger of the two water slides at Riverdale Resort, and they did so in a brilliant manner. I will always remember the little boy See TERROR on Page 13

‘Scared of the Dark’ exhibit open at USU University Libraries at Utah State University continues its series of mini-exhibits when it opens a new exhibit especially suited to an October opening.

“Scared of the Dark: Culture of Monsters” is a new exhibit opening in the atrium of MerrillCazier Library, and it runs Oct. 28 to Dec. 12.

The exhibit focuses on the culture, history and evolution of vampires, werewolves, zombies and the monster from the book “Frankenstein,” written by Mary Shelley in 1818. Items on display have been assembled by the staff at Merrill-Cazier Library.

The “Scared of the Dark” exhibit is designed to resemble a spook alley or a carnival side show, organizers say.

The exhibit also offers a unique connection to this year’s Common Literature experience

New

book “Frankenstein: the New Prometheus.” All incoming USU students enrolled in the Connections Program read the book before fall semester 2014 began.

Members of the community at large were invited to also read the book.

Then, at the conclusion of Connections, a convocation was presented by USU faculty members Brian McCuskey and Charlie Huenemann.

The exhibit is free and open to everyone.

Box Continued from Page 7 had a checkered history at the box office, with the big-budget “Battleship” — the last Hasbro game turned into a movie — famously flopping in 2012. But “Ouija,” made

by Blumhouse Productions and released by Universal Pictures, was made for just $5 million, and scared up moviegoers with a micro-budget summoning of brandname occult.

Universal also could claim the top spot in the world’s other top market, China, where the Scarlett Johansson sci-fi film “Lucy” opened with $19 million. Since opening in July, “Lucy” has made $434 million worldwide, proving the global appeal of Johansson.

Two Fox releases rounded out the domestic top five. David Fincher’s marital noir “Gone Girl,” starring Ben Affleck, made $11.1 million in its fourth week, bringing its cumulative total to $124 million. It will soon pass Fincher’s “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” ($127.5 million) to mark the director’s top box office hit.

In its second week of release, the animated fantasy “The Book of Life” earned $9.8 million.

As Hollywood’s awards season begins to heat up, limited-release titles also made noise at the box office. Easily leading all films in per-screen average were Alejandro Inarritu’s black comedy “Birdman (or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance),” starring Michael Keaton, and the Edward Snowden documentary

“Citizenfour.”

Laura Poitras’ “Citizenfour” drew a $25,000 average opening in five theaters for the Weinstein Co.’s Radius unit.

Expanding to 50 theaters in its second week, Fox Searchlight’s “Birdman” took in an average of almost $29,000 per

screen.

Next weekend’s top film is essentially already decided. Christopher Nolan’s space travel thriller “Interstellar,” one of the year’s most anticipated releases, opens in select theaters Wednesday and then wide on Friday.

Sure, it was political, but more about brains than running faster and throwing further. It was about who had the best system of government. I miss starting off a patriotic day with Tang for

I was born in 1956 and USSR put the first thing in orbit in 1957. Since then about 65 different countries have launched satellites, and another dozen or so have sent things orbiting other planets and it seems like they let just about anybody with enough money hang out the International Space Station. So, I guess the Space Race is just handing out partici-

Now just about every country other than Cuba has its own satellite, but way back then there was something exciting about countries trying to whip each other with technology. Of course, the spinoff of that technology was enough atomic weapons to destroy the planet eight times over.

Over time, the Tramp became an enduring icon — and his creator a bit of a head case. Tyrannical and incredibly moody, he was completely selfabsorbed to the detriment of professional and family relationships.

Soars Continued from Page 3 “Birdman” does it without many hiccups at all. The craft is beyond reproach.

Where the movie might put some off is that it becomes increasingly involved in itself.

Perhaps that’s ironic because the entire movie feels like an irony of irony. You never know if it’s speaking what it thinks is the truth, or if it’s snarkily describing the dangers of a snarky world. Writer/director Alejandro González Iñárritu (“Babel”) has populated the screenplay with so much existential pontificating that it’s hard to take it seriously after a while. It’s almost like he wants to comment on so much that he misses the mark most of the time. Then again, we don’t know if he’s purposefully missing the mark, ignorantly missing the mark, or both or none. Oh, enough of this. Let’s move on.

While Riggan is navigating the tumultuous waters of trying to get a Broadway play off the ground, we’re greeted with so many soapbox-like diatribes that it’s hard to keep

them straight. Iñárritu chides us on our affinity for actionplagued superhero movies.

He bashes our constant need for self-affirmation on social media. He takes actors to task for having such large, fragile egos. He lambasts the school of film and theater criticism as a worthless endeavor. It’s a lot to take in, and even then you wonder if it’s all tongue-incheek anyway.

Along the way we meet a string of insecure characters, most of them actors. Edward Norton kinda steals the show out from under Keaton, but that just bolsters the narrative that Riggan simply can’t achieve his dreams because someone is always better than him.

The most interesting aspect of the movie, besides its flawless technical prowess, is the mystery surrounding Riggan himself. Is he slowly going insane, or does he really have superpowers? Iñárritu provides clever clues along the way, but it’s up to us to decipher them. However, in the end we’re forced to question if the mystery matters at all, or if it was just there to see how easily distracted we really are in the first place.

Those in charge at Little Bear Bottoms did a very good job placing more volunteers in the corn maze portion of the Haunted River Trail. Having people jump out at you in a corn field is never a bad idea. The makeshift clown room was also very memorable, as was the giant fake spider that landed flush on my shoulder.

And major props to the person at the Hyde Park Spook Alley who reached out from underneath a table and grabbed my leg as I was walking by. Touching haunted attraction goers is typically frowned upon, but I didn’t mind the unexpected extra effort.
