Frankengourd takes the classic paint-and-sip formula and gives it a spooky season makeover, swapping canvases for pumpkins and brushes for an assortment of eyes, teeth, horns, and other creepy-crawly embellishments. Under the guidance of an instructor, guests piece together their own one-of-a-kind monstrous gourd creation, with all the materials provided so there's nothing to bring but yourself and a sense of humor for whatever ghoulish design takes shape on your pumpkin.

Held inside Sanctuary at AREA15, the experience comes with a drink included, pulled from a selection of specific wines, beers, and specialty cocktails, so you can sip while you construct your creature. It's a laid-back, hands-on evening for anyone looking to get into the Halloween spirit through a bit of tactile, slightly macabre crafting, and you'll walk away with a pumpkin monster all your own to display at home.
