'Fright Night' in the Real Haddonfield

Forget the Michael Myers' Halloween movies set in the fictional town of Haddonfield, Ill.

There's some first-class fright night activity tonight in the real Haddonfield, in Camden County, NJ.

Greenfield Hall, the home of the Historical Society of Haddonfield, morphs into a ghoulish haunted mansion tonight in an annual Halloween Tradition.

This year the ghosts of the Haunted Mansion will present themselves on two nights.  First tonight at 6 p.m., and then again Wednesday, after the Haddonfield Halloween parade.  Refreshments will be offered in the mansion courtyard on the Wednesday to all the brave survivors.  Tickets are sold at the door.  Children are $2 and Adults are $3.

For more information call the office of the Historical Society at 856-429-7375 (M,W,F 1-4pm) or visit  www.haddonfieldhistory.org

After leaving the haunted house tonight, Bill Meehan regales with ghost stories and legends from his popular paperback, Haunted Haddonfield.  

The tour begins at 7 p.m. at Greenfield Hall, 343 Kings Highway East, and winds past the cemetery and familiar houses along the way.  The tour lasts about 90 minutes and can be enjoyed by everyone - couples, groups and families. Adults are $10 and Children (3-12) are $5.  

Tickets can be purchased at the door (cash only) or ahead of time at Greenfield Hall, the borough public library, or the Haddonfield Visitor Center.  There are no rain dates but tickets can be used on any of the tour dates.  Please remember to wear comfortable shoes, bring a flashlight and wear somewhat reflective clothing as a safety precaution.
