It's scary how quickly Halloween is creeping up on us, so if you're in need of a little content boost, here's what's happening at the Jekyll Island Club, where those dreamily eerie moss-draped live oaks are a natural backdrop for all things mystic, magical or just plain fun.

Spooky cocktails - - We have four – with images and recipes right here. For example, the Vampire's kiss margarita adds an ounce of red wine and is garnished with wax vampire's teeth to make sure everyone has a bloody good time.

Spooky cocktails are available now through November 1 at the Jekyll Island Club and the Jekyll Ocean Club bars and restaurants.

Legend tells the story of a woman in a blue party dress who met a handsome waiter at a party at the Club. They fell in love on the dance floor, but she died soon after. She's said to be dreamily dancing around the halls and in the ballroom waiting on her lost love. More hauntings here
