First Ever ‘Halfway To Halloween’ Event in Upstate New York

If you enjoy Halloween we've found an event you can't miss!

You may be asking yourself, "Since when do people celebrate halfway to Halloween?" It's the first question that popped into my head and to try and find an answer I think this just might be the first event of its kind in New York.

Halfway to Halloween Event in New York

The folks at Double M Haunted Hayrides one of upstate New York's most popular Halloween attractions have announced that they will be hosting its first-ever off-season "Halfway to Halloween" event. They're calling it "Halfway to Halloween" and are planning to give Halloween lovers a sample of what's to come in October according to WTEN. Dan Barner, Event Manager at Double M said

"We are really excited to bring this new, unique event to Double M, it will be very immersive with our creatures and monsters watching the movie along with you and then welcoming you into their world in the haunted houses. Get ready!"
