Looking for Smaller, Community-based, Charitable Haunts?
Many of you already know about the important role that charitable haunts and trails play in supporting our local communities. Halloween New England has a number of smaller, shorter season haunted events listed on our state guides to Halloween Events and Activities. Many of these smaller attractions have a donation-based admission such as canned food for the local food bank.
Remember to visit your local community Halloween events to support the charitable work these dedicated volunteers are doing for your local town.
Check out Circo Animarum in Marlborough, MA, Trail of Terror in Eliot, ME, and River Valley Haunted Walk in Mexico, ME are just a few of the dozens of great events going on over the next two weekends.
Next week is your last chance to win a pair of blood red Beats Solo headphones from The Only Scream in Town --this headphones contest ends on Halloween.
These are the last batch of tickets we're giving away for nearly all haunts as we want to have you win them in time to use them. Visit the home page of Halloween New England to find links to all contests.
Congrats to Geo Manko, Courtney McQuaid Laura Ferrer, Stacey Lawrie and Lloyd Erickson who won the tickets to see Haunted Acres, Ivianis Garcia won tickets and a t-shirt to The Amity Road Horror, Sarah Xu won tickets to The Only Scream in Town, Nick Grantsis and Tiakna Grace won tickets to Ghoulie Manor, and Britnee Torres, Ashley Red, Michaela Costa, Natasha Ruggeri and Nikki Pueschel won tickets to Fright Fest.
