The Cuneo Brothers, of I Heart Horror Day fame, and the Sayreville Cultural Arts Society have combined to celebrate Halloween every year in October with a new tradition: "Scare-ville." For the first time, the Borough Hall lawn is decorated with new creepy residents in the form of skeletons and other creatures.

On Saturday, October 17th, the town will be celebrating "Scare-ville: A Dia De Los Muertos Celebration" from 5:00pm until 9:30pm at Veterans Field, located at 167 Main Street in Sayreville. Designed for all ages, the evening will feature a Skeleton Parade, so come dressed to scare (or impress).

Vendors and food trucks will be on hand selling their trinkets and tasty treats. DJ Criss Bones will be setting the atmosphere with "Day Of The Dead"-themed music with some holiday favorites thrown in, as well as other surprises, until 7:30pm.

The Main Street Theatre Company will be on hand performing songs from their original production of "Which Witch Is Which?" In addition, the MJX Dance Program will be entertaining the crowd with a special performance. At 7:30pm, the movie "Coco" will be shown, so don't forget to bring your blankets or lawn chairs. Follow the Sayreville Cultural Arts Facebook Page for the rules to be entered into the Good Spirits Basket Giveaway or to simply find out more about this event.
