T.G.I. Friday's® Treats Guests to Specials Halloween Weekend

CARROLLTON, Texas, Oct. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Trick or Treat? Friday's® chooses treats! This Halloween weekend, Friday's is hosting a Halloween Party with free appetizers, costume contests and killer drinks – pun intended.  

Beginning Friday, October 28th through Monday the 31st, Friday's is treating its costumed guests to a free appetizer – a choice of the Crispy Green Bean Fries, Fried Mozzarella or Pan-Seared Pot Stickers. And, for those that really want to get in the spooky spirit, Friday's is hosting a costume contest on Saturday night with prizes including a $50 Best Buy gift card from Skyy Vodka and Red Bull.

"What better way to celebrate the Halloween spirit than with a spooky party set in Friday's high energy atmosphere and with great food, drinks and a costume competition," said Trey Hall, senior vice president and global chief marketing officer. "With Halloween on a Monday this year, it's a great excuse to keep the festivities going all weekend long."

In addition to the costume party and free appetizer, guests that are over 21 can enjoy eerie elixirs like the Friday's Red Bull Bite, concocted with Skyy Vodka, pomegranate syrup and Red Bull, and Vampire Crush, created with Skyy Infusions Citrus, Midori, X-Rated fusion liqueur, fresh sour rocks mix, club soda and pomegranate syrup. Friday's has the world's greatest bartenders and innovative drinks, and at select locations, competitors in the T.G.I. Friday's World Bartender Championship will be on site showing off their bottle wielding moves and routines as well as some fun costumes.

The Halloween Party special runs October 29-31 and is available only at participating locations.
