This Halloween season, downtown Fort Lauderdale is getting a dose of the dead at a secret and stylish \u2014 but spooky speakeasy! Room 901 is located inside the Hyatt Centric Las Olas. But after a scary October makeover, the speakeasy feels more like a nightmare\u2026 on Elm Street.<\/p>\n
Freddy Krueger: \u201cWelcome. Happy to be here. We all know it\u2019s a busy time for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Hyatt Centric Las Olas could be your hottest Halloween hangout yet\u2026<\/p>\n
Alex: \u201cIt\u2019s gorgeous. But then you walk into this one particular space, right, which is the speakeasy 901 and you are taken to a completely different nightmare.\u201d<\/p>\n
Katherine Beja-McLennan: \u201cYou have all the haunted music, the walls are all blood red, and they\u2019re decorated with cobwebs all over.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2026Because speakeasy 901 has transformed into Nightmare on Las Olas.<\/p>\n
Alex: \u201cHave you ever addressed that skin condition of yours? I mean, so many creams out there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Freddy Krueger: \u201cWhat skin condition?\u201d<\/p>\n
Alex: \u201cLet\u2019s move on. So I hear that you\u2019re making some cocktails here at 901.\u201d<\/p>\n
Freddy Krueger: \u201cYes, of course. The first cocktail we\u2019re going to be doing is the \u2018Blair Witch Hunt.\u2019 The ingredients are going to be Stoli Vodka, Midori, Triple sec, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and the most important ingredient, dry ice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alex: \u201cGood.\u201d<\/p>\n
Freddy Krueger: \u201cYeah.<\/p>\n
Alex: \u201cThat\u2019s really good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Freddy Krueger: \u201cYou know, killing people isn\u2019t the only thing I\u2019m good at.\u201d<\/p>\n
Freddy Krueger: \u201cThis one is my favorite. This is going to be the \u2018Las Olas Zombie.’\u201d<\/p>\n
Alex: \u201cI prefer a finger, but an eyeball will do just fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Freddy Krueger: \u201cThe eyeball is just to remind you that you\u2019re being watched.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alex: \u201cMr. Krueger!\u201d<\/p>\n
Fiend for freaky foods, including \u201cFreddy\u2019s Pumpkin Revenge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Guest: \u201cLoved it so much and there\u2019s nothing better than sexy Freddy Krueger behind the bar.\u201d<\/p>\n
And the \u201cSlasher Faroe Island Salmon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Guest: \u201cTo die for. It felt like my last meal.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alex: \u201cWe can be up here for hours, enjoying ourselves. So what else can we take part in?\u201d<\/p>\n
Katherine Beja-McLennan: \u201cWe have cards, dominoes and we can talk to the spirits through our Ouija board.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alex: \u201cScary, OK. Hey, Siri.\u201d<\/p>\n
Guest: \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
Group: \u201cOuija, what spirit is in the room?\u201d<\/p>\n
