Sammamish: 

The Sammamish Rotary Club’s annual Nightmare at Beaver Lake began frightening visitors in the park last Thursday, marking the beginning of a week-and-a-half’s worth of scares leading up to Halloween. 

Because the Sammamish Rotary Club wants the Nightmare at Beaver Lake to appeal to as many visitors as possible, the event features two slightly different shows. The first hour of each night is dedicated to the “family scare,” which is a slightly toned down version of the “full scare,” which runs the remainder of the evening.

This year’s event will feature a special guest as well, actor C.J. Graham, who played Jason in theFriday the 13th horror movies. Check the schedule for his availability.

For more information on the Nightmare at Beaver Lake check out the event’s website. Schedule, parking and ticket information is readily available.
