Fewer crowds, more personal experience, and an extended Halloween season all lined up for you!<br /><br />Most haunts wrapped up their season last weekend but you'll find a handful who will be open into November and they would love to draw you in for a final Halloween hurrah. It's your last, best chance to pack in extra thrills before your favorite season is over until next fall.<br /><br />Before we close up the proverbial (blog) shop, let us express our deepest thanks to everyone who followed <a href="https://www.halloweennewengland.com/" target="_blank">Halloween New England</a>, read our blogs, visited our event picks, sent us updates and feedback about their Halloween adventures, and let others know about the resource that our site and community aims to be for Halloween fans everywhere. Additionally, the Halloween New England team expanded in 2021, and because of Gail, Lisa, Becky, and Ciara, we were able to attend more events first-hand, be in more places, and provide you with wider Halloween coverage. And one of most significant improvements to Halloween New England this year was the brand new website which would not have been possible without the enormous effort and commitment from our developer Justin at <a href="https://jrcorps.com/" target="_blank">JR Computer Associates</a> and Wendy from NH's own <a href="https://www.wetherbeecreative.com/" target="_blank">Wetherbee Creative</a>. So much credit for this memorable season goes to the enthusiasm, insight, and passion of the wider HNE team who collectively worked to better serve Halloween fans in every pocket of New England.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">May you all have a wonderful "off-season" and we look forward to reconnecting in 2022!</div><p><span style="text-align: justify;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj36MwgziBvs4yEj9_efiVzeeOXtpldEW9HaMs-LnDtkBCeei8CrxbDF-W2zTkI69Kc8DNg8QNlnQUNTg48Htkg-hT_LOhpySR2dDeHQIlH4HM9VNtZApbqACWzxNLEZoFczGcofqn5KIq5/s700/NovemberHaunts+Header_Blog2021_purple.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="55" data-original-width="700" height="50" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj36MwgziBvs4yEj9_efiVzeeOXtpldEW9HaMs-LnDtkBCeei8CrxbDF-W2zTkI69Kc8DNg8QNlnQUNTg48Htkg-hT_LOhpySR2dDeHQIlH4HM9VNtZApbqACWzxNLEZoFczGcofqn5KIq5/w640-h50/NovemberHaunts+Header_Blog2021_purple.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><b style="color: #38761d;"><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b style="color: #38761d;">FIVE Haunts are open this Friday, November 5th </b>and <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>EIGHT will be open on November 6th</b></span>!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span>But only ONE haunt will also be open on <span style="color: #38761d; font-weight: bold;">Thursday, November 4th </span>and <span style="color: #38761d; font-weight: bold;">Sunday, November 7th</span> which is Barrett's Haunted Mansion.

There might not be a better way to soak up the atmosphere of this time of year when you factor in a dose of that cool, crisp night weather we all love and you've got a perfect night of gently spooky fun! Honestly, there are no scares planned in flashlight mazes but we've been known to brush our elbow against the stalks and give ourselves a startle--that's strictly on us! Some local mazes will offer flashlight nights on a weekly basis while others offer it on a select two or three nights during the season.

Years ago, in planning our Halloween fun, we researched the schedules for EVERY haunted house in New England to help us know what would be open and when. Compiling this list took dozens of hours over many weeks every season. Eventually, it dawned on us that if <u>we</u> were doing this amount of work to plot for <i>our</i> haunt trips, surely there were others who would also love access to that useful info too which is how our <a href="https://www.halloweennewengland.com/opening-night-haunt-guide"><b>Opening Night Guide</b></a> and <a href="https://www.halloweennewengland.com/haunts-open-sunday-nights-guide"><b>Sunday Night Haunt Guide</b></a> came to be! Soon after, we added the <a href="https://www.halloweennewengland.com/haunts-open-weeknights-guide"><b>Weeknight Haunt Guide</b></a> so we could squeeze every last drop of blood from our haunt-going every season. <br />Over the years, you might have seen us attending six haunts in a single weekend!

<p class="MsoNormal">October 31st may be five months away on the calendar but for us super fans, the Halloween season
<i>kicks off in three months</i> flat and nobody could be itchier than the many
attractions and event producers who took a pause last year and are chomping at
the bit to get rolling.</p>

manage to launch adapted events and tours in 2020 and Halloween fans rewarded
them by coming out in droves to support those businesses that moved mountains to open
and who bent over backwards to ensure a safe experience for customers and staff
alike. We can all agree that 2021 is already starting to feel more familiar and this
year is lining up to be bigger than ever so I say, LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!<o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.halloweennewengland.com/" target="_blank">Halloween New England</a> hasn’t been resting in the off-season either—not
one bit. Since December, we have been working on a total re-build of the
Halloween New England website and we cannot wait to share it with you. The new
website will be more versatile than ever and it should function like a dream for anyone looking
to make the most of their October. With new search tools for events, tours, and
attractions near you, you’ll have everything you are looking for at your
fingertips. Even better, the ease of navigating the website will translate
beautifully whether you are hunting for ghost tours on your phone or browsing pumpkin
festivals on your laptop.</p><p class="Default"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.visitma.com/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="130" data-original-width="462" height="85" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQuc92AOtlIpfIQAIZrw5_SWl2sG-Y-miyB51XZos-iX5la9OpYbAHAc5J7oKDlM7fzI-O4n-u96GVrqboV6zG-gEnekNuCM9U2LunzjFgUURrSl4u0Su135R-urQsHzRrWybHUYtkIknh/w301-h85/visitma_blue.jpg" width="301" /></a></div><br />In April, we received wonderful news from the <a href="http://www.metrowestvisitors.org/">MetroWest Visitors Bureau</a> that

An authentic Colonial home, circa 1736, its rich and mysterious history will entice those seeking some paranormal adventure. It provides an opportunity to revisit a bygone era, along with the spirits who once inhabited the home – and still do! This mystical, magical farmhouse offers all of its visitors a thoroughly transformational experience. Most famous for its association with “The Conjuring” (the infamous feature film released in 2013) a horror movie released a torrent of interest in this supernatural stronghold. It is likely the most haunted house in America, revealed in detail by the Perron family who once dwelled within its walls for a decade during the 1970s. Though the film was fictionalized, the truth is stranger than fiction."

We might not cram in two dozen haunt visits like we do most years or hit up your favorite Halloween parade --that's okay, it's just for now. But we definitely can all go out of our way to support those events and attractions that <i>have</i> found a way to adapt for public health considerations. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some Halloween events are taking a pause this year --that's <i>also</i> okay -- and we will be there at their door next year when they return, you can be sure of it.</div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-weight: bold;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5LpDws9oyeqJE1f5mwd5mfsgPkDv0aSnAWsZpVeQxub7MJ1fVzlwGhWhy3mEx2dmxK0Ew4PCN9sm6GUNZHUMhzmZilNRtsoaRaBHT04yfT0N7TQtPSOpTZh0aHcH8kh4K3ND97C_Ha3wF/s533/Pixel+Perfection_2015_SQ_14.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="533" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5LpDws9oyeqJE1f5mwd5mfsgPkDv0aSnAWsZpVeQxub7MJ1fVzlwGhWhy3mEx2dmxK0Ew4PCN9sm6GUNZHUMhzmZilNRtsoaRaBHT04yfT0N7TQtPSOpTZh0aHcH8kh4K3ND97C_Ha3wF/w249-h249/Pixel+Perfection_2015_SQ_14.png" width="249" /></a></div>What can you expect this year?</b><b> Fewer live-person events, more </b><a href="http://www.halloweennewengland.com/massachusetts/halloween-events-and-activities/" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">virtual event</a><b> options. </b>The in-person events will be smaller, customers spread out, ticket prices might be ever-so-slightly higher, and the experience might be uniquely different than what you experienced there in the past. </div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There will be few festivals this year - not like we've always thought of them. Yet there will be smaller events with plenty of things you love and count on. There may or may not be a hayride this year to take you to the pumpkin patch. Several places have adjusted their event to a <b><a href="http://www.halloweennewengland.com/locations/jack-o-lantern-spectacular-roger-williams-zoo" target="_blank">drive-through</a></b> or even a <b><a href="http://www.halloweennewengland.com/locations/barretts-haunted-mansion" target="_blank">drive-in</a></b> experience which is no small feat for them to do.

As you would expect, wearing a mask is a non-negotiable requirement on all these properties, even outdoors.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Many attractions now require <b>advanced ticket purchases</b> (no walk-ups) and have implemented <b>timed ticketing</b> which means you'll need to show up at a <u>specific</u> time to your event. These are essential ways for event producers to manage the customer flow and stay within state and local restrictions for gathering limits. Without these restrictions and new ticket rules in place, many would not be permitted to open so please comply and support them--it's for your health and those you care about. Don't give them a hard time - they are looking out for you and for their staff.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXoDKd0kBVSZtEA_WCWhKReeLk0j3pM3hAi475e3IS5bXG8CbyDWi68wgWTd-Bc4RuE-hDccnkL0eZicFfJ8iWeBwL30fC256JrBId3CeNkWcaAlZZOmCMecX9uUG9ydP_cg2Hu0JBkCgU/s640/pumpkin+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXoDKd0kBVSZtEA_WCWhKReeLk0j3pM3hAi475e3IS5bXG8CbyDWi68wgWTd-Bc4RuE-hDccnkL0eZicFfJ8iWeBwL30fC256JrBId3CeNkWcaAlZZOmCMecX9uUG9ydP_cg2Hu0JBkCgU/w252-h252/pumpkin+1.jpg" width="252" /></a></div>But here we are - mid-September!

<span style="text-align: justify;">Halloween New England's fans know better than to think Halloween season ends October 31st, right?</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
There are still a number of very worthwhile events to enjoy during the first two weeks of November - and the best part? Fewer crowds, more personal experience and an extended Halloween season all lined up for you!<br />
<br />
It's the final weekend of haunting for a number of local haunted attractions, many of whom are planning special events to draw you in and offer something new. It's your last, best chance pack in extra thrills before your favorite season is over until next fall.<br />
<br />
Before we close up the proverbial (blog) shop until next fall, let us express our deepest thanks to everyone who followed Halloween New England, read our blogs, visited our event picks, sent us updates and feedback about their Halloween adventures, and let others know about the resource that our site and community aims to be for Halloween fans everywhere. May you all have a wonderful "off-season" and we look forward to reconnecting in 2020!<br />

Salem welcomes brisk Saturday morning with the <b><a href="http://www.halloweennewengland.com/halloween/calendar/event/2373" target="_blank">Creepy Clown 3.33 Miler</a></b> through the streets of the Witch City and it will be followed by the <b><a href="http://www.halloweennewengland.com/halloween/calendar/event/1813" target="_blank">Devil's Chase 6.66 Miler</a> </b>which kicks off 30 minutes later. The thought of dozens of terrifying clowns and devils running through the streets sends us running to hide but it may very well be the perfect solution for you to <span style="text-align: justify;">bank some exercise points before your evening debauchery. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">If you're looking to stay local and have more intimate, home-grown haunt experience on Saturday and Sunday, consider visiting two local yard-haunts this weekend: check out "<b><a href="http://www.halloweennewengland.com/halloween/calendar/event/1163" target="_blank">FEAR" presented by Nightmare Marlborough</a></b> (including early no-scare kids hour earlier on Sunday), and <b><a href="http://www.halloweennewengland.com/halloween/calendar/event/2519" target="_blank">3rd Degree of Terror</a></b> in Ayer as well!

The Boston Circus Guild invites you to follow their “ 'paranormal investigation team' as they explore the dark recesses of a haunted theater to look for evidence of evil spirits and nefarious creatures that manifest in the shadows. Ghosts, ghouls, and creatures from beyond the grave will fill the evening with never-before-seen circus acts including aerials, acrobatics, hand balancing, and more. This immersive, adults-only Halloween spectacular is not for the faint of heart, but is filled with as much humor as it is with horror."<br />
<br />
Performers will be suspended above you and roam the venue as you can enjoy a cocktail while taking in the festivities. This show is 18+ only, due to graphic/disturbing content. (Production uses strobe and haze effects). <b><a href="http://cirque-of-the-dead-boston-circus-guild-2/" target="_blank">Cirque of the Dead details</a></b>.<br />

"Some have called it the ‘gayest horror movie ever made!’ But for Mark Patton, the star of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, it was anything but a dream come true. Detailing the homophobia and Aids-phobia of 1985 as a closeted actor in Hollywood, Mark retraces his missteps on the pathway to stardom. 30 years after its initial release, Patton is hitting the road to set the record straight about the controversial sequel and the experience that halted his career before it even begins. Confronting the cast and crew for the first time, Mark attempts to make peace with his past as well as embrace his legacy as cinema's first male scream queen."</div>

<b>Salem travel tip:</b> If you're not already familiar with taking the train (MBTA commuter rail) into Salem then you are missing out--it's the easiest way to get in and out and save yourself any parking drama. We like to park at the Swampscott MBTA station and take the train 1 stop into Salem. It's a quick walk from the Salem station into the downtown area and the MBTA even adds extra trains during the last weekend of October.<br />
