If you're not afraid to admit it, Halloween is a great time to escapes the bonds of everyday life to a world of make believe and fantasy, an adventurous getaway to the countryside for fresh air, starry nights and a perfect early fall climate that stirs the blood and strokes the traveler's imagination. But where to go? Sure, you could book a room in one of many so-called Haunted Hotels and spend the night waiting for the TV remote to levitate or to hear a moanful groan from somewhere down the hall. (Now that could be really scary if you think about it.) But lighten up this year with a fun filled and luxurious country getaway on the outskirts of historic San Antonio and treat yourself, your kids and/or your grandkids to the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort's First "Hill Country Getaway". Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Spa is holding the first ever Hill Country Halloween, a weekend filled with ghostly surprises to delight guest of all ages, October 30 & 31, 2009. Halloween activities begin Friday evening as Antlers Lodge plays host to a Murder Mystery dinner where guests will take part in solving an eerie mystery.  After dinner take part in spooky stories and S’mores by the fire pit, a movie beneath dark skies, and a special showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show for grownup goblins, which wraps up day one of the Hill Country Halloween.   Children and adults dress up in their favorite costumes as the weekend festivities continue on Saturday at Spooktacular Central, a pumpkin patch filled with wicked activities to include a pumpkin-carving contest.  The fun goes on at the Halloween Bash with music, games and other spooky surprises.  The evening is just beginning as we prepare a Halloween dinner with uncannily creepy culinary creations and then venture by moonlight into Aunt Mary’s Trick or Treat Haunted Trail with 12 different candy stations throughout the property. “What better place to celebrate this frightfully delightful holiday than at Texas’ favorite family friendly resort,” said General Manager Gino Caliendo.  “Our guests have come to expect an authentic experience for the entire family at Hyatt Regency Hill Country and we are excited about adding another memorable event to all the great family offerings we have in place.” Hyatt Regency Hill Country will continue to celebrate the holidays with two spectacular events; Lighting of the Hill Country at Town Square on Saturday, November 29 and Hill Country New Year’s Eve Celebration on Thursday, December  31.
