Two spooky events are coming to the Historic Village at Allaire

We must be approaching spooky season since everyday a new haunted event is announced.

This time it’s historic Allaire Village that is planning two eerie events in October.

First, on Oct. 7 & 8 there is “An Evening with Edgar Allan Poe” with two performances each night. It’s described as “a spine-chilling evening with a retelling of Edgar Allan Poe's classic stories.”

The performance by Helen McKenna-Uff takes place in the village’s chapel; tickets are $29 and the event is said to sell out every year. For tickets go here.

Then on Oct. 14 & 15 as well as Oct. 21 & 22 is the “Night of Frights,” a special spooky event that lets you see the Village at night. Guests will get to:

“Enjoy the village grounds and historic buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries...visit with our ghosts, ghouls, and monsters. Storytelling at the Chapel; a special night out at the Blacksmith Shop; the Manager's House with fortune-telling for your entertainment; Mr. Allaire's Macabre House; the Carriage House with legendary spirits; the towering four story shadows of the General Store stocked with seasonal goods.”

There will also be a haunted food truck.

The event will feature costumed ghouls, glow-in-the-dark Bubble Witch Show, & a fire juggler.

Tickets for Night of Frights are $15 for adults and $10 for children. Tickets.

All proceeds benefit The Historic Village at Allaire, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that preserves the historic buildings and educational programming for over 9,000 students annually.

What would happen to NJ if we were attacked by nuclear weapons?

We used NUKEMAP by Alex Wellerstein to see what would happen if a nuclear warhead hit New York, Philadelphia, Washington or New Jersey.

The models show what would happen in aerial detonation, meaning the bomb would be set off in the sky, causing considerable damage to structures and people below; or what would happen in a ground detonation, which would have the alarming result of nuclear fallout. The models do not take into account the number of casualties that would result from fallout.
