Haunted House Coming Up In Jefferson

JEFFERSON, NJ — Jefferson's annual haunted house is back for the 2017, promising plenty of sights and frights.

The Community Lodge has been transformed into a haunted house, with plenty of "dark and scary rooms," the Parks and Recreation department promises.

They described the event as a spook-filled night:

Spooktacular spirits will inhabit the completely transformed Community Lodge where eerie scenarios will unfold in dark and scary rooms causing you to laugh and scream your way through a diverse gathering of ghosts, ghouls, serial killers, random creatures, and things that go bump in the night! Spirits will be roaming the outside grounds as well, and DJ Earl of Sound Solutions Entertainment will be playing some bloodcurdling music for the monster mash to get the ghouls dancing. If you dare, take a haunted hay ride (a nominal fee) through the dark and mysterious woods and hold on so you don’t jump out of your skin along the road!

There will also be a less-scary matinee performance for younger kids.

Catch the less-scary shows from 4 to 5:30 pm on Saturday, Oct. 21 and 4 to 5 p.m. on Sunday Oct. 22. Full-scare hours are 7-9:30 p.m. on Saturday and 6-8 p.m. on Sunday.

Admission is $3 for the matinee and $5 for the night hours. Attendees are also asked to contribute non-perishable food items, paper products, toiletries, and/or cleaning products to donate to the township food pantries.

The Haunted House is at Camp Jefferson (81 Weldon Road, Lake Hopatcong). You can find more information on their Facebook page.
