Ghost Walk: The Drive-In is coming to a park near you on October 23 and 24.
Ghost Walk: The Ghosts of Pender’s Past is a sell-out event in a normal year in the Town of Burgaw. But, of course, 2020 has been anything but normal.
“The show must go on,” says Stephanie Key, the artistic director of Ghost Walk: The Ghost of Pender’s Past. “To provide ghostly stories in a COVID-19-friendly setting, we’ve gone retro. We’re bringing the Ghost Walk, a drive-in to Burgaw and Hampstead.”
Instead of actors coming to Burgaw, the Ghost Walk volunteers filmed their ghostly tales on location. The stories are being threaded together by a local videographer for attendees’ viewing pleasure.
To add to the fun, following Ghost Walk: The Drive-In movie, a second feature, Stephen King’s Silver Bullet will be shown. Silver Bullet was filmed in Burgaw and released October 1985.
“Pender County Parks and Recreation has state-of-the art movie screening and radio receivers to set up for drive-in movies,” says Zach White, Pender County Parks and Recreation supervisor. “We’re again pleased to partner with Pender County Tourism on the Ghost Walk – just in a different and safe method.”
