Haunted Theater Starts Oct. 14 at Brookdale Community College

Brookdale Community College - The curtain rises on fear Friday, Oct. 14, as the Haunted Theater returns to the Brookdale Community College Performing Arts Center (PAC), 765 Newman Spring Rd., Lincroft.

Community members are invited to navigate a sprawling haunted maze stretching throughout the PAC complex and brave an army of zombies, evil clowns, mad scientists and other creatures. The Haunted Theater also features an interactive 3-D blacklight maze and other obstacles designed to scare even the bravest of Halloween adventurers. It's been called one of Central New Jersey's most unique and truly scary Halloween attractions, and has been extended to a third weekend this year.

The attraction, now in its 14th year, is designed and operated by more than 100 local actors, technicians and Brookdale theater students. The Haunted Theater is open from 7 to 10:30 p.m., Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from Oct. 14-30.

General admission is $12. Seniors, Brookdale alumni and staff can attend for $10. Attendees 17 and under can attend for $8 and current Brookdale students can attend for $5. Large groups are welcome.

The PAC will also offer a family friendly, “no-scare” experience titled “The Mystery of the Missing Candy” from 2 to 4 p.m. on Oct. 22, 23, 29 and 30. Young children are welcome. Admission is $5 for everyone.
