WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. – The Historic Village at Allaire will come alive with spirits, scares, and storytelling this weekend as the annual Night of Frights and a brand-new Ghost Tour take over the historic grounds.

The Halloween events run Friday through Sunday, October 17–19, offering both family-friendly thrills and spine-tingling exploration for the brave.

Visitors can expect glowing spectacles, eerie performances, and the chance to step inside the village’s haunted past.

Historic village transformed for Halloween

The Night of Frights turns the 19th-century ironworks community into a festive yet frightful destination. Guests can roam the candlelit paths, visit historic buildings, and witness performances that include blacksmithing, storytelling, and eerie theatrical scenes.

Fire jugglers, fortune tellers, and sword swallowers will perform alongside costumed characters and ghostly figures haunting the grounds. Families can enjoy glow-in-the-dark bubble shows, spooky displays, and themed photo spots.

New ghost tour uncovers haunted history

For those seeking a deeper thrill, the new Ghost Tour leads small groups through the darker corners of Allaire Village. Guides share true stories of paranormal encounters and village legends while taking guests into buildings typically closed to the public.

The walking tour lasts 90 minutes and is limited to 15 people per group due to narrow passages and low light. Organizers recommend it for ages 12 and up.

The Night of Frights has become a staple of Allaire’s fall calendar, blending family fun with the village’s rich historic backdrop. The addition of the ghost tour offers a new way to explore the site’s mysterious past and engage visitors in its preserved 19th-century charm.
