The Oak Park Mall is creating some spooky fun for families this Halloween.
The mall will host a haunted house from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday night and Halloween. In addition, trick-or-treating will take place from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, with every storefront containing candy, according to mall manager Shan Kehret.

The contest, open to those 16 or younger, will have prizes for every participant, as well as larger prizes for various categories, including movie passes to the CineMagic 7 Theatre inside the mall. There will be two winners for each category, including funniest costume, scariest costume, and others.
