Alden-Houston Calling all Goblins, Ghosts and Ghouls

Online, October 15, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Houston - The chills and thrills of "All Hollow's Eve" will be in full force when Alden-Houston hosts its third annual haunted Halloween Soiree and costume contest on Saturday, October 31st. Arrive in costume and pay no cover for a howling good time that will feature a cash bar, tunes spun by deejay Hannibal Hector, haunted flicks on big screens and a creepy costume contest with prizes. The party starts at 8 p.m. on Alden's second-story Veranda and continues until 2 a.m. at the hotel's stylish a+ bar and grille.

For the best dressed it's no tricks, just treats! Alden's celebrity judges will award fantastic prizes to the costume contest winners in three categories: best couple's costume, sexiest and most creative. Prizes include dinner for two at *17, a $200 gift card from {intimacy} lingerie boutique in the Galleria and an overnight stay at Alden-Houston.

"It's our third year hosting downtown's biggest Halloween bash, but this year we're also headquarters for the night's party hopping. Our "So Spooky" hotel packages allow you to check in, grab a bite, get dressed, hit Alden's Halloween bash, then party hop around town and head back when you're ready to call it a night," says Susan Ward-Freeman, Alden's General Manager.
