Nightmarish event returns Oct. 19, 20, 21 to Franco Center

Your nightmare returns to crypt of former Lewiston church for three nights in October 

LEWISTON—The Franco Center returns its Fright Nights with walks through its crypt on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, October 19, 20, and 21.  

The crypt will be open from noon to 5 p.m. each day of the event. During daytime hours, the walk will provide less of a scare than the nightly walk.  

Each night of the event, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. trained and costumed actors will play the parts of ghoulish and scary characters in the indoor walk. 

“Returning this year to our Fright Night walks will be the scariest parts of last year’s event, the stuff that had visitors screaming as they left,” said Franco Center Production Manager Jake Hodgkin. He described the special lighting and sound effects that will accompany the creepy decorations. “We’ve upgraded and added more features this year.” 

Tickets can be purchased online at www.francocenter.org/shows, by phone at 207-689-2000, or in person at our box office between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The Franco Center is at 46 Cedar St., Lewiston. Parking is available in the mill lot. The building is handicap accessible on the Lincoln St. Alley side.   

Daytime tickets (noon to 5 p.m.) in advance: $10 or at the door $15.

Nighttime tickets (6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.) in advance: $15 or at the door $20.
