October 27 One-Stop Family Halloween Party to Feature Popular Medium and a Classic Scary Movie!

October 27 family Halloween Party has it all - pizza, treats, face painting, costume contest, psychic readings, live music, scary movie! Fun

The Atlantic Frightlands Creative Group is organizing a special Halloween Party fundraiser for the Atlantic Highlands Arts Council (AHAC). The party will be held on Friday, October 27, 7:30 - 9:30pm at the AHAC Gallery, 54 First Avenue, Atlantic Highlands. The event also includes a classic scary movie screening at nearby Atlantic Cinemas after the party.

“Each year we are dedicated to putting on a great show and, at the same time, a fun -- and safe -- alternative to trick-or-treating for kids and parents,” said organizer Jon Crowley.

Co-organizer JoAnn Molnar said, “Come in costume and join in the fun! We will have ‘fun eats’ like pizza, finger sandwiches, hot chocolate, and candy treats. And the entertainment will be amazing too! You won't believe how gifted our psychic medium is!” The medium, well-known Anthony Dijoseph from Long Island, is set to begin shooting a TV show with Crowley, who is also an Emmy award-winning television producer.

In addition to the pizza, treats, and psychic readings, there will also be a costume contest, pumpkin painting, face painting, tarot card readings, a photo booth, and live music from popular local rockers The Glycerines. Tickets also include a special late-night ‘interactive’ screening (loaded with surprise scares!) of a classic horror flick at Atlantic Cinemas, just up the block from the party.

When he's not busy running for Atlantic Highlands Town Council, or producing/directing series such as House Hunters International, Crowley spends several months each year organizing local Halloween festivities. “We'll probably return to our popular Ghost Walking Tour next year, but because of this year’s hectic campaign, we decided to keep things fresh by throwing a big party. With all of the things we have included, it will be a night to remember!”

All proceeds benefit the AHAC, a non-profit 501©3 organization.
