The screams are returning to Brookdale Community College's Performing Arts Center (PAC) this October as the award-winning Brookdale Haunted Theater celebrates its 23rd year with a full lineup of Halloween experiences.&nbsp; 
From its signature immersive haunt to a family-friendly lights-on tour and a late-night screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Voted Best Overall Attraction for seven consecutive years by <a href="https://www.brookdalecc.edu/pac/haunted-theater/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">NJHauntedHouses.com</a>, Brookdale’s Haunted Theater has become a Halloween tradition for thrill-seekers throughout New Jersey. At the heart of it all is an attraction imagined and brought to life by Brookdale students. Designed, built, and operated by past and present students, the Haunted Theater transforms the entire Performing Arts Center into a terrifying labyrinth filled with gruesome scenes, sinister creatures, elaborate sets, special effects, and heart-pounding surprises. This isn’t a stage show. Guests make their way through a fully immersive haunted house experience that winds through the facility, with frights lurking around every corner.&nbsp;Enter if you dare. The Haunted Theater will be open Oct. 16–18, 23–25, and 29–30, from 6 to 10 p.m. at Brookdale Community College PAC, 765 Newman Springs Road, Lincroft, NJ, off&nbsp;Museum Drive. Tickets are $20 and must be purchased in advance for a designated time slot. Group rates are automatically applied for groups of 10 or more and 25 or more, and buses are welcome. Convenient parking is available in Lot 2, with accessible parking in Lot 1.For tickets and additional information, visit the <a href="https://www.brookdalecc.edu/pac/haunted-theater/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Brookdale Haunted Theater webpage</a><a href="https://www.brookdalecc.edu/pac/haunted-theater/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">.</a>&nbsp;Questions may be directed to the box office at <a href="tel:(732)%20224-2411" target="_blank">732-224-2411</a> or <a href="mailto:brookdalehauntedtheater@gmail.com" target="_blank">brookdalehauntedtheater@gmail.com</a>

The Carousel Building

With great enthusiasm, we invite you to join us on the Asbury Park&nbsp;Boardwalk for our 6thannual Walk In Their Shoes,&nbsp;on Sunday, November 8th,from 9amto 11am.Wewalk to support the residents, clientsandthe programs of Ocean’s Harbor House and bring awareness and honor the lives represented in November - National Youth HomelessnessAwareness Month.
When people hear "homeless youth," they sometimes picture a young person literally sleeping on the street. And yes, that happens. But youth homelessness can also look like sleeping on someone's couch, moving from house to house, staying somewhere unsafe because there is nowhere else to go, or turning 18 and suddenly realizing there is no stable adult or home to fall back on. At Ocean’s Harbor House, our goal isn't simply to give a young person somewhere to stay. We help them build a life they can sustain after they leave us.
Here, our programs help young people find a pathway toward stability and independence. But young people shouldn't have to navigate that pathway alone. Our job is to provide structure, support, accountability, and opportunity. The SHORE House, our Supervised Transitional Living Program, provides housing and support for young people ages 16–21 with services extending into young adulthood through our Aftercare Programs. Through our Life-Skills Development Initiative, we teach practical skills young adults actually need in financial, housing and leasing literacy, employment and professionalism, communication and self-advocacy, health and wellness support. Our Day Services and Harbor Hub provide a central location for young people seeking these supports, along with guidance and a welcoming space to connect. Our Harbor COMPASS Street Outreach meets our young people in need where they are in the community and in their lives, connecting them to immediate safety and essential services. Your support is an essential part of how that happens. Your contributions make an incredible difference in creating a pathway to hopeful and sustainable futures for the young people of our shared communities.
Join us, along with the incomparable Ocean Avenue Stompers, the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Department, and our Monmouth and Ocean County community partners as we walk to support, to honor, to elevate, and to celebrate the young lives impacted through the 40-year mission and vision of Ocean’s Harbor House.
