Spooky Olympia date idea #47

BURIAL GROUNDS, THE BROHO & PUNK ROCK BOB >>>

Start your night with supernatural snacks and sips at Burial Grounds in downtown Olympia. Enjoy coffee drinks like Rigor Mortis or the Grave Robber to keep you on your toes for the long night ahead of you.

Next, walk a few blocks and enter the building on the corner of Capitol Way and Fifth Avenue. It might be dimly lit and covered with wall rugs of JFK, but don't be alarmed, you're just in The Brotherhood Lounge, where scary movies are playing every Sunday in the month of October. (They start at 7 p.m. and are always free.) On Halloween Carrie will be showing. With a couple drinks in you and the residual feeling of horror that only a classic like Carrie can give you, now is the chance to up the scare factor on your ultimate creepy date night.

Dare to enter the home of graffiti, tramps and scurrying rats? Dare to enter a place of homicide and horror? Dare to enter the downtown train tunnel? A damp, dark place, where underneath the layers of graffiti, remain bloody splatters of violence. A place where young "Punk Rock Bob" was viciously murdered in the '90s, his throat slashed and his head bashed in with a concrete pole. Walking along the tracks, unsure if a train might come and knowing that there may be the ghost of an unsettled soul lurking around you, just might be enough to send you screaming toward the light at the end of the tunnel.
