Sam Diego's auction date set as restaurant closing | Exclusive

Sam Diego’s Mexican Cookery and Bar is done. “We have not sold the business as Sam Diego’s so Sam Diego’s as a restaurant business will be closed on Nov. 14,” said Clarke Buchanan, one of several friends who started Sam’s in 1982. An auction of Sam Diego’s artwork and other decor will be held Nov. 20 to Dec. 2. The auction will be run by Local Liquidation Auctions out of Arizona. They are photographing auction items and writing descriptions now for the online auction. Those who win auctioned items should expect to pick them up at the restaurant on Dec. 3 and Dec. 4, Buchanan said. “There is stuff that’s worth collecting. We have a lot of original artwork by (Barre) Pinske … papier-mǎché by Sergio Bustamante, a Mexican artist, painted cow skulls.” Links to the auction will be available through Sam Diego’s social media. There are plans to auction pretty much all the decorations except the Sergio Bustamante moon. The Bustamante sun, which visitors like to photograph, will be sold. It was damaged years ago by college kids trying to take it off the wall for photos, but repaired by Cape Cod artist Cristina (Cris) Reverdy, Buchanan said. Located

Fall River's Factory of Terror to host adults-only haunted experience

Factory of Terror is bringing its scares back after Halloween with UNHINGED, an adults-only haunted experience in downtown Fall River on Nov. 13 and 14. The two-night event will feature darker scenes, adult themes and a more intense experience than the attraction's regular season allows, according to a community announcement. UNHINGED takes place inside Factory of Terror's more than 125-year-old historic building at 120 Pearl St. Guests enter during timed arrival windows, from 7 to 10:30 p.m. Nov. 13 and 6 to 10 p.m. Nov. 14. “It’s a haunted house experience we’re building just for adults that will be more interactive. It’ll be darker, more intense,” said Mike Quill, owner of Factory of Terror. “It’ll cover subject matter that we don’t usually cover because it’s not appropriate for all audiences.” Quill also offered a warning for potential guests: “If you get offended by things, please don’t come. This won’t be for you.” What tickets cost and who can attend UNHINGED is limited to guests 18 and older. A valid government-issued photo ID is required at the door with no exceptions. General admission costs $45, plus taxes and fees. VIP admission costs $70, plus taxes and fees, and includes expedited entry
