October 24-31: The Greatest New England Halloween List That Has Ever Been Compiled, with Massive Creative Awesomeness for Kids and Adults, Click Now Now Now :)
Wow! I have really gone ALL OUT for this Halloween season. Without a doubt, this is the most comprehensive and generally awesome Halloween list that anyone has ever built in New England. Please do me a favor for all the hard work and make your friends subscribe.
It’s a list that’s really too big to read everything, so click on nearby regions to see just the events that are close to you. Also, you guys know that I put the best stuff up top, right? I try to prioritize everything from most awesome to least but still worth a mention.
Anyway, you really must click through to see the whole list. (You should be doing that every week, but this week’s special.
Check this space for our Australian Pink Floyd interview on Tuesday, Oct 25.And please don’t spend Halloween in a bar. You know when you can go to a bar? ANY NIGHT OF THE YEAR. So please do something awesome, maybe outdoorsy, that is more creative than just getting buzzed.
I hope you are having an awesome week. Now get out there and do something fun!

Club Oberon has the best arty hipster events, and this one starts out as a slumber party but suddenly there’s burlesque, Halloween antics, and a just-for-fun (not paranormal idiots, I asked) seance. 7:30pm.

Click for my review (posted Monday eve, Oct 24)! 539 Tremont St, Boston, MA. |

Revere Family Fright Night | Boston Metro
Sun 10/30 |
Below you’ll find nearly 200 Halloween events this week (including haunted cornfield mazes and permanent haunted attractions). I’m listing this one in Revere first because it’s so close to Boston, and comes with a parade (at 4:30pm) from City Hall to a party (5-7pm) at the Harry Della Russo Stadium. It’s free! Bring a costume! Revere, MA. |
Steampunk Form & Function II Exhibit Opening | Boston Metro
Mon 10/31 |
Now here’s something REALLY creative that’s right on public transit. The museum behind International Steampunk City is bringing in a WHOLE NEW steampunk exhibit, and holding a Halloween opening reception that turns the place into a haunted house! They’ll have a costume contest and “steam powered monsters”! 6:30 pm to 10:30 pm. Light refreshments will be served. Charles River Museum of Industry, 154 Moody Street, Waltham, MA.781-893 5410. |
Haunting Hawthorne | Metro West
Wed 10/26 |
Nathaniel Hawthorne is one of New England’s most famous writers, and my favorite re-enactor will read his spooky stories and take questions. It’s free and a very rare event, a true gem of re-enactments. How often do you get a chance to “speak with the dead”, so to speak? What a fun way to learn some history! 7pm. The Wayside, 455 Lexington Road, Concord, MA.978-318-7825. |
Haunted Higgins | Worcester
Sat 10/29 |
Unlike the Somerville Armory, the Higgins Armory has armor in it, and it’s worth visiting anytime. But this Saturday, come in costume and go trick or treating (adults or kids), participate in a costume contest and hear spooky storytelling. OoooO! 11am-3pm. 100 Barber Ave, Worcester, MA. |
