SUMMARY:Myths & Mysteries of The Octagon House
DESCRIPTION:A Halloween-season guided tour at the Armour-Stiner Octagon House\, Irvington\, NY \nFor generations\, the eight-sided Armour-Stiner Octagon House has inspired whispered local legends\, and this fall its guides are opening the door to them. Myths & Mysteries is an hour-long guided tour through the National Historic Landmark that goes beyond architecture and furnishings to explore the strange stories\, unexplained happenings\, and firsthand accounts left behind by the people who once lived there. Along the way\, history and the otherworldly blur together\, and visitors leave with a new sense of just how unusual this Hudson Valley landmark really is. Want a taste of the lore before you go? Read Ghosts of the Octagon House for the stories of the fragrant spirit and the Lady in White. \nThe experience continues after the tour with Remember You Must Die\, an exhibition drawn from Ryan Matthew Cohn’s Memento Mori collection. Spanning ancient artifacts to contemporary pieces\, it looks at how earlier generations faced death through art\, ritual\, remembrance\, and spiritual practice. \nIt’s a fitting stop on any October outing in Sleepy Hollow Country. \nDetails: Tickets are $38 per person and required for every guest. Timed entry varies by day. Because the tour frequently touches on 19th-century illness\, disaster\, and death\, it’s open to ages 12 and up. The route includes three flights of stairs and extended standing\, so it isn’t accessible for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility. Free on-site parking is limited\, so carpooling is encouraged\, and guests should arrive no more than 15 minutes early.

SUMMARY:The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze
DESCRIPTION:More than 7\,000 hand-carved jack o’lanterns light up the riverside grounds of Van Cortlandt Manor.\nTen acres of an 18th-century estate above the Hudson become a half-mile walk past life-sized dinosaurs\, a working carousel\, a planetarium built entirely of glowing gourds\, and the Headless Horseman riding out of the dark. \nArches\, tunnels\, and clearings open up where the pumpkins climb well above head height\, all of it lit in sequence and scored to an original soundtrack\, so the light moves with the music and the walk keeps reintroducing itself around each bend. \nNew for 2026: a longer path with more displays than any previous season\, movie-monster photo ops\, storybook characters carved to look like they’ve stepped off the page\, and a full pumpkin dance party. \nSpooky\, not scary. No jump scares\, no actors chasing you — it works as well for a six-year-old as for the friend who claims they’ve outgrown Halloween. \nTwo ticketed add-ons let you step off the trail midway: the Gourd & Goblet Tavern\, inside the manor’s 18th-century brick tavern\, and the Headless Horseman’s Hideaway\, a pop-up lounge with visits from the Horseman himself. Both must be booked in advance. \nAdvance tickets only — nothing is sold at the gate\, and dates sell out. FLEX tickets get you in on any open night\, even when the calendar is full. \n2026 dates: Select dates\, September 18-November 8. Open every night in October. Entry times vary by date.

SUMMARY:The New Pornographers - The Former Site Of Tour
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 20+ years\, The New Pornographers have proven themselves one of the most excellent bands in indie rock. They have released nine studio albums\, including their classic debut Mass Romantic and their latest 2023’s Continue as a Guest. The band’s new album The Former Site Of will be out via Merge Records on 3/27/26 and new single “Votive” is out now. \nThey’ve constantly offered new sonic surprises with every album\, and have established themselves alongside modern luminaries like Yo La Tengo and Superchunk when it comes to their ability to evolve while still retaining what made them so special in the first place. Of the 2023 record\, New York Magazine lauded\, “The New Pornographers are a massive unit bursting with unique and intersecting talents…the band’s ninth album serves another helping of their signature dish.” \nCritical acclaim for The New Pornographers: \n“Over the course of their 20-plus-year career\, the New Pornographers have often specialized in catchy ambiguity. If leader Carl Newman was just a machine cranking out power-pop tunes\, it would get boring. But there’s also a lot of mixed emotions going on under the surface of their studiously nuanced pop-rock formalism—like if Cheap Trick was as quick-witted as Steely Dan\, or the Romantics were as thoughtful as R.E.M.”\n– Rolling Stone \n“Pure\, blissfully irresistible power pop”\n– NPR Music \n“[The New Pornographers] make catchy\, sophisticated alternate-universe hits.”\n– Stereogum

SUMMARY:The Headless Horseman Files
DESCRIPTION:Four suspects\, one missing schoolmaster\, and 45 minutes to work out what happened — Sleepy Hollow’s whodunit\, staged in broad daylight.\nA guide walks you through the grounds of Philipsburg Manor\, where the townsfolk of 1790 are waiting with their alibis. Fiery Hans Van Ripper\, charming Katrina Van Tassel\, spectral Hulda the Witch\, and bold Brom Bones each have a story about the night Ichabod Crane disappeared — and each has a motive. You gather the clues and reach your own verdict. \nSomething is lurking in the shadows\, too. The Headless Horseman doesn’t wait for nightfall here. \nRecommended for ages 8+. One stretch takes place in near-darkness. Timed admission; advance tickets recommended.

SUMMARY:Spirits of Sleepy Hollow Country
DESCRIPTION:Sleepy Hollow has more ghosts than the Horseman. Two illusionists intend to get them talking.\n\n\n\nMark Clearview and Nick Wallace return to Philipsburg Manor this October with an original magic show built around the spirits of Sleepy Hollow Country — not generic stage spooks\, but the local dead. Hulda of Bohemia\, the healer the village called a witch. Major John André\, the British spy caught just down the road in Tarrytown. And the Headless Horseman\, who needs no introduction around here. \n\n\n\nThe premise is that none of them ever left\, and all of them have something to say about it. What follows is an hour’s worth of illusion delivered with real comic timing — a magic show first\, funnier more often than it is frightening\, even as the lights drop and things begin happening that shouldn’t. \n\n\n\nIt runs about 50 minutes with no intermission\, in reserved seats\, and it sells out every year. \n\n\n\nNew for 2026: premium seats ($89) now include a complimentary beer or wine and a snack. \n\n\n\nKnow before you go\n\n\n\n\nWhere: Philipsburg Manor\, 381 North Broadway\, Sleepy Hollow\, NY 10591. Overflow parking at 100 Continental Street.\n\n\n\nWhen: Fridays–Sundays\, October 2–31. Two to four performances a day depending on the date\, from mid-afternoon through 7:30 pm. Check Historic Hudson Valley’s website for exact times.\n\n\n\nRun time: About 50 minutes\, no intermission\n\n\n\nArrive early. Seating is reserved\, the show starts promptly\, and latecomers can’t be seated.\n\n\n\nTickets: Value seating $65\, standard $79\, premium $89. Historic Hudson Valley members save 15%. Advance purchase only\, no tickets sold on site.\n\n\n\nAges: Recommended for 10 and up. Expect dim lighting\, moments of suspense\, and effects designed to startle.\n\n\n\nAccessibility: Accessible seating is available by phone at 914-366-6900.\n\n\n\n\nTickets and full schedule: hudsonvalley.org or 914-366-6900

SUMMARY:'Tis the Wind and Nothing More
DESCRIPTION:An immersive Halloween-season tour with a performance of “The Raven” at the Armour-Stiner Octagon House\, Irvington\, NY \nFor two October weekends only\, the Armour-Stiner Octagon House goes back more than a century to host a literary evening. Guests are welcomed as visitors to the annual salon of Jessie Clarke\, one of the most puzzling people ever to live in the eight-sided house. Wealthy relatives set the house aside for her\, and she lived there for 25 years until her death in 1933\, reportedly mostly alone. Much about her remains unclear\, including the state of her health in those years\, which was never documented and is still debated. This 75-minute immersive tour mixes the house’s real history with a hint of the uncanny. It ends with a dramatic reading of “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe himself. \nAfter the performance\, guests can visit Remember You Must Die\, an exhibition drawn from Ryan Matthew Cohn’s Memento Mori collection. With objects ranging from ancient artifacts to contemporary works\, it explores how earlier generations dealt with death through art\, ritual\, remembrance\, and spiritual practice. \nFor fans of Poe\, Victorian mystery\, or theatrical history\, it’s a fitting stop on any October outing in Sleepy Hollow Country. \nDetails: Performances run over two October weekends: Friday and Saturday\, October 2–3 and 9–10\, at 4:00 pm and 5:45 pm\, and Sunday\, October 4 and 11\, at 2:30 pm and 4:30 pm. Tickets are $58 per person and required for every guest. Because the tour often touches on 19th-century illness\, disaster\, and death\, it’s open to ages 12 and up.

SUMMARY:Irving’s Legend at Sunnyside
DESCRIPTION:Hear the Legend told on Washington Irving’s own lawn.\nWashington Irving is buried a few miles up the road. Every October\, his most famous story comes back to the house where he spent his last twenty years — performed outdoors\, after dark\, on the grounds of Sunnyside. \nMaster storyteller Jonathan Kruk has been doing this for decades\, and he doesn’t recite the tale so much as inhabit it. He plays all of them: the gangly\, superstitious Ichabod Crane; the coquettish Katrina Van Tassel; swaggering Brom Bones. Jim Keyes supplies live organ music and sound effects\, and a cast of shadowy figures moves at the edge of the lantern light. Then the hoofbeats start. \nThere’s no stage\, no screen\, and no jump-scare gimmickry — just Irving’s nineteenth-century prose\, a good storyteller\, and the sound of the Hudson somewhere below you in the dark. Fifty-five minutes later you’ll understand why this one sells out every single year. \nKnow before you go\n\nWhere: Washington Irving’s Sunnyside\, 3 W Sunnyside Lane\, Irvington\, NY 10533\nWhen: Fridays–Sundays\, October 2–31. Most nights offer two or three performance times between 5 and 9 pm.\nRun time: About 55 minutes\nTickets: From $40; Historic Hudson Valley members save 15%. Advance tickets only — nothing is sold at the gate\, and dates sell out well before Halloween.\nAges: Recommended for 10 and up. It’s family-friendly\, but the period language\, the length\, and the low-light outdoor setting are a lot for younger kids.\nTerrain: Seated outdoor performance with some walking over uneven ground. Dress for a cold night by the river.\n\nTickets and full schedule: hudsonvalley.org or 914-366-6900 \nPresented by Historic Hudson Valley. \nMultiple performances per evening\, see organizer’s website for actual times.

SUMMARY:The Masquerade of the Red Death
DESCRIPTION:Step into a night of gothic splendor and inescapable doom at The Masquerade of the Red Death Halloween Party.\nHeld within the soaring\, vaulted Gothic halls of Lyndhurst Mansion\, this exclusive gathering transforms our historic estate into Prince Prospero’s final\, desperate refuge. Guests will indulge in opulent revelry\, completely shut off from the outside world\, until the clock strikes and reality sets in. \nExperience the mansion transformed into the doomed masquerade of Poe’s short story\, filled with vibrant colors and bizarre\, beautiful decorations\, with drinks\, a feast\, and sweets for guests to gorge on. The air will be heavy with music and laughter\, creating a scene where “the age of the masquerade was rife with mirth.” \nPrince Prospero demands his guests come in costume\, but standard Halloween costumes will not suffice for this dark celebration. Guests must dress to match the eccentric\, feverish imagination of Prince Prospero himself – prizes will be given for the revelers with the best costumes. \n“There were buffoons\, there were improvisatori\, there were ballet-dancers\, there were musicians\, there was Beauty\, there was wine… There were grotesque realities… there were much of the beautiful\, much of the wanton\, much of the bizarre.” \nAttire should be decadent\, surreal\, and grand. The story takes place in the Middle Ages\, but feel free to give your creative spin to the “masquerade” theme. Masks are a must. \nAges 21 and older.

SUMMARY:The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze
DESCRIPTION:More than 7\,000 hand-carved jack o’lanterns light up the riverside grounds of Van Cortlandt Manor.\nTen acres of an 18th-century estate above the Hudson become a half-mile walk past life-sized dinosaurs\, a working carousel\, a planetarium built entirely of glowing gourds\, and the Headless Horseman riding out of the dark. \nArches\, tunnels\, and clearings open up where the pumpkins climb well above head height\, all of it lit in sequence and scored to an original soundtrack\, so the light moves with the music and the walk keeps reintroducing itself around each bend. \nNew for 2026: a longer path with more displays than any previous season\, movie-monster photo ops\, storybook characters carved to look like they’ve stepped off the page\, and a full pumpkin dance party. \nSpooky\, not scary. No jump scares\, no actors chasing you — it works as well for a six-year-old as for the friend who claims they’ve outgrown Halloween. \nTwo ticketed add-ons let you step off the trail midway: the Gourd & Goblet Tavern\, inside the manor’s 18th-century brick tavern\, and the Headless Horseman’s Hideaway\, a pop-up lounge with visits from the Horseman himself. Both must be booked in advance. \nAdvance tickets only — nothing is sold at the gate\, and dates sell out. FLEX tickets get you in on any open night\, even when the calendar is full. \n2026 dates: Select dates\, September 18-November 8. Open every night in October. Entry times vary by date.

SUMMARY:Margaret Cho: Choligarchy
DESCRIPTION:Comedian. Actor. Musician. Advocate. Entrepreneur. Five-time Grammy and Emmy nominee. When hasn’t Margaret Cho’s strong voice been part of our consciousness? It feels like she has always been here\, like a friend you can always count on\, lighting the path for other women\, other members of underrepresented groups\, other performers\, to follow. \nMargaret staunchly supports the causes that are important to her: anti-racism\, anti-bullying\, gay rights\, all while fulfilling her successful creative side with a legendary stand up career that has yielded 10-plus comedy tours. Her recent television & movie roles include “Erin” in HULU’s smash Fire Island\, guest starring on the Ryan Murphy hit Doctor Odyssey\, The Flight Attendant (HBO Max)\, Hacks (HBO Max) and two Netflix is a Joke comedy specials including Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution. Margaret’s latest film\, All That We Love\, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival\, earning Margaret rave reviews\, and she is set to star as “Wasp\,” one of the “Gray Sisters” in Season 2 of Disney’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians as well as in Gregg Araki’s movie thriller I Want Your Sex. \nMargaret\, who Vogue magazine named one of the 9 best female comedians of all time\, alongside Joan Rivers\, Gilda Radner and Wanda Sykes\, appreciates where she finds herself right now. “I think comedians in general\, we get better as we get older\, and we kind of get more observant\, and more astute in those observations.” \nThankfully\, Margaret has more stories to tell\, and her production company\, Animal Family Productions\, has multiple scripted shows in development for 2024 and beyond.

SUMMARY:Ghost Tours of Tarrytown Music Hall
DESCRIPTION:Join this guided tour created by Master Storyteller Jonathan Kruk and discover the historic lore and spirits that linger at The Tarrytown Music Hall. \nThe Tarrytown Music Hall was built in 1885 during the Millionaire’s Colony Era when mansions dotted the Hudson Valley landscape and families such as the Rockefellers\, Goulds and Vanderbilts gathered at the Music Hall to participate in its lavish balls\, flower shows and concerts. Since then\, the Music Hall has been a reflection of the human spirit\, mirroring the current events of the town and the rest of the world. In addition to Presidents’ speeches\, it has hosted women’s suffrage rallies and endured several wars\, depressions and pandemics including those of 1918 and 2019. It is a vessel through which many people pass. And some don’t leave . . . \nThe building is an official site of the Haunted History Trail of New York. Gotham Paranormal Research Society has investigated the Music Hall several times and has consistently detected paranormal activity including intriguing EVP (electronic voice phenomena) audio files and EMF (electromagnetic field) readings. \nThe 45-minute tour kicks off in the theater lobby and does include climbing stairs and extended periods of standing. Times vary by date. \n2026 Dates: October 3\, 4\, 10\, 11\, 17\, 18. \nMake a night of it\nThe Music Hall’s ghost tours land right in the heart of Halloween in Sleepy Hollow Country. Pair yours with dinner at one of Tarrytown’s restaurants a short walk away\, or check what else is on the Hall’s stage that weekend at Tarrytown Music Hall Performances.

SUMMARY:Myths & Mysteries of The Octagon House
DESCRIPTION:A Halloween-season guided tour at the Armour-Stiner Octagon House\, Irvington\, NY \nFor generations\, the eight-sided Armour-Stiner Octagon House has inspired whispered local legends\, and this fall its guides are opening the door to them. Myths & Mysteries is an hour-long guided tour through the National Historic Landmark that goes beyond architecture and furnishings to explore the strange stories\, unexplained happenings\, and firsthand accounts left behind by the people who once lived there. Along the way\, history and the otherworldly blur together\, and visitors leave with a new sense of just how unusual this Hudson Valley landmark really is. Want a taste of the lore before you go? Read Ghosts of the Octagon House for the stories of the fragrant spirit and the Lady in White. \nThe experience continues after the tour with Remember You Must Die\, an exhibition drawn from Ryan Matthew Cohn’s Memento Mori collection. Spanning ancient artifacts to contemporary pieces\, it looks at how earlier generations faced death through art\, ritual\, remembrance\, and spiritual practice. \nIt’s a fitting stop on any October outing in Sleepy Hollow Country. \nDetails: Tickets are $38 per person and required for every guest. Timed entry varies by day. Because the tour frequently touches on 19th-century illness\, disaster\, and death\, it’s open to ages 12 and up. The route includes three flights of stairs and extended standing\, so it isn’t accessible for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility. Free on-site parking is limited\, so carpooling is encouraged\, and guests should arrive no more than 15 minutes early.

SUMMARY:Spirits of Sleepy Hollow Country
DESCRIPTION:Sleepy Hollow has more ghosts than the Horseman. Two illusionists intend to get them talking.\n\n\n\nMark Clearview and Nick Wallace return to Philipsburg Manor this October with an original magic show built around the spirits of Sleepy Hollow Country — not generic stage spooks\, but the local dead. Hulda of Bohemia\, the healer the village called a witch. Major John André\, the British spy caught just down the road in Tarrytown. And the Headless Horseman\, who needs no introduction around here. \n\n\n\nThe premise is that none of them ever left\, and all of them have something to say about it. What follows is an hour’s worth of illusion delivered with real comic timing — a magic show first\, funnier more often than it is frightening\, even as the lights drop and things begin happening that shouldn’t. \n\n\n\nIt runs about 50 minutes with no intermission\, in reserved seats\, and it sells out every year. \n\n\n\nNew for 2026: premium seats ($89) now include a complimentary beer or wine and a snack. \n\n\n\nKnow before you go\n\n\n\n\nWhere: Philipsburg Manor\, 381 North Broadway\, Sleepy Hollow\, NY 10591. Overflow parking at 100 Continental Street.\n\n\n\nWhen: Fridays–Sundays\, October 2–31. Two to four performances a day depending on the date\, from mid-afternoon through 7:30 pm. Check Historic Hudson Valley’s website for exact times.\n\n\n\nRun time: About 50 minutes\, no intermission\n\n\n\nArrive early. Seating is reserved\, the show starts promptly\, and latecomers can’t be seated.\n\n\n\nTickets: Value seating $65\, standard $79\, premium $89. Historic Hudson Valley members save 15%. Advance purchase only\, no tickets sold on site.\n\n\n\nAges: Recommended for 10 and up. Expect dim lighting\, moments of suspense\, and effects designed to startle.\n\n\n\nAccessibility: Accessible seating is available by phone at 914-366-6900.\n\n\n\n\nTickets and full schedule: hudsonvalley.org or 914-366-6900

SUMMARY:An Audience with Poe
DESCRIPTION:Sip\, savor\, and shiver with Poe’s darkest tales brought to life through storytelling\, cocktails\, and confections.\nProfessional storytellers bring to life the “powerful graphic effect” that Washington Irving once praised in Edgar Allan Poe’s writing\, with haunting renditions of The Raven\, The Tell-Tale Heart\, The Black Cat\, and The Masque of the Red Death. We pair the tales with complimentary cocktails or mocktails designed to capture the spirit of the stories. \nThe evening begins in the Library at Historic Hudson Valley\, where visitors enjoy their first drink while standing among the shelves\, listening to a creepy tale. From there\, the experience deepens in an intimate theater setting\, with three more of Poe’s dark masterpieces performed in turn\, as those gathered sip drinks and enjoy small treats—indulgences to savor in the night’s shadows. \nOctober 3\, 9\, 11\, 16\, 18\, 23\, 25\, 30\n3\, 5\, 7pm \nOctober 10\, 17\, 24\, 31\n1:30\, 3:30\, 6\, 8pm \nRECOMMENDED FOR AGES 16+ \nAdvance Tickets Only. Not Sold on Site.

SUMMARY:'Tis the Wind and Nothing More
DESCRIPTION:An immersive Halloween-season tour with a performance of “The Raven” at the Armour-Stiner Octagon House\, Irvington\, NY \nFor two October weekends only\, the Armour-Stiner Octagon House goes back more than a century to host a literary evening. Guests are welcomed as visitors to the annual salon of Jessie Clarke\, one of the most puzzling people ever to live in the eight-sided house. Wealthy relatives set the house aside for her\, and she lived there for 25 years until her death in 1933\, reportedly mostly alone. Much about her remains unclear\, including the state of her health in those years\, which was never documented and is still debated. This 75-minute immersive tour mixes the house’s real history with a hint of the uncanny. It ends with a dramatic reading of “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe himself. \nAfter the performance\, guests can visit Remember You Must Die\, an exhibition drawn from Ryan Matthew Cohn’s Memento Mori collection. With objects ranging from ancient artifacts to contemporary works\, it explores how earlier generations dealt with death through art\, ritual\, remembrance\, and spiritual practice. \nFor fans of Poe\, Victorian mystery\, or theatrical history\, it’s a fitting stop on any October outing in Sleepy Hollow Country. \nDetails: Performances run over two October weekends: Friday and Saturday\, October 2–3 and 9–10\, at 4:00 pm and 5:45 pm\, and Sunday\, October 4 and 11\, at 2:30 pm and 4:30 pm. Tickets are $58 per person and required for every guest. Because the tour often touches on 19th-century illness\, disaster\, and death\, it’s open to ages 12 and up. The route includes three flights of stairs and extended standing\, so it isn’t accessible for wheelchair users or those with limited mobility. Free on-site parking is limited\, so carpooling is encouraged\, and guests should arrive no more than 15 minutes early.

SUMMARY:Irving’s Legend at Sunnyside
DESCRIPTION:Hear the Legend told on Washington Irving’s own lawn.\nWashington Irving is buried a few miles up the road. Every October\, his most famous story comes back to the house where he spent his last twenty years — performed outdoors\, after dark\, on the grounds of Sunnyside. \nMaster storyteller Jonathan Kruk has been doing this for decades\, and he doesn’t recite the tale so much as inhabit it. He plays all of them: the gangly\, superstitious Ichabod Crane; the coquettish Katrina Van Tassel; swaggering Brom Bones. Jim Keyes supplies live organ music and sound effects\, and a cast of shadowy figures moves at the edge of the lantern light. Then the hoofbeats start. \nThere’s no stage\, no screen\, and no jump-scare gimmickry — just Irving’s nineteenth-century prose\, a good storyteller\, and the sound of the Hudson somewhere below you in the dark. Fifty-five minutes later you’ll understand why this one sells out every single year. \nKnow before you go\n\nWhere: Washington Irving’s Sunnyside\, 3 W Sunnyside Lane\, Irvington\, NY 10533\nWhen: Fridays–Sundays\, October 2–31. Most nights offer two or three performance times between 5 and 9 pm.\nRun time: About 55 minutes\nTickets: From $40; Historic Hudson Valley members save 15%. Advance tickets only — nothing is sold at the gate\, and dates sell out well before Halloween.\nAges: Recommended for 10 and up. It’s family-friendly\, but the period language\, the length\, and the low-light outdoor setting are a lot for younger kids.\nTerrain: Seated outdoor performance with some walking over uneven ground. Dress for a cold night by the river.\n\nTickets and full schedule: hudsonvalley.org or 914-366-6900 \nPresented by Historic Hudson Valley. \nMultiple performances per evening\, see organizer’s website for actual times.

SUMMARY:The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze
DESCRIPTION:More than 7\,000 hand-carved jack o’lanterns light up the riverside grounds of Van Cortlandt Manor.\nTen acres of an 18th-century estate above the Hudson become a half-mile walk past life-sized dinosaurs\, a working carousel\, a planetarium built entirely of glowing gourds\, and the Headless Horseman riding out of the dark. \nArches\, tunnels\, and clearings open up where the pumpkins climb well above head height\, all of it lit in sequence and scored to an original soundtrack\, so the light moves with the music and the walk keeps reintroducing itself around each bend. \nNew for 2026: a longer path with more displays than any previous season\, movie-monster photo ops\, storybook characters carved to look like they’ve stepped off the page\, and a full pumpkin dance party. \nSpooky\, not scary. No jump scares\, no actors chasing you — it works as well for a six-year-old as for the friend who claims they’ve outgrown Halloween. \nTwo ticketed add-ons let you step off the trail midway: the Gourd & Goblet Tavern\, inside the manor’s 18th-century brick tavern\, and the Headless Horseman’s Hideaway\, a pop-up lounge with visits from the Horseman himself. Both must be booked in advance. \nAdvance tickets only — nothing is sold at the gate\, and dates sell out. FLEX tickets get you in on any open night\, even when the calendar is full. \n2026 dates: Select dates\, September 18-November 8. Open every night in October. Entry times vary by date.
