Halloween Haunted Hangar Spooktacular To Be Hosted By LI's American Airpower Museum

FARMINGDALE, NY — The American Airpower Museum of Farmingdale is set to host its Halloween Haunted Hangar Spooktacular from 2 to 6 p.m. on Oct. 29.

"Who said Halloween is just for children?" the American "Scarepower" Museum, as it referred to itself, wrote in its news release.

The museum will offer children the ability to go trick-or-treating in its haunted hangar. Staff in costumes will hand out treats as children go door-to-door in Hangar 3, at 1230 New Highway.

"Mingle with ghosts, goblins, ghouls, skeletons, vampires and witches inside our spooky home, decorated and creatively transformed into a horror house with dry ice fog, spider webs, flying bats and new frights at every turn," the museum wrote. "Yikes!"

Guests can take a tour of the museum's Haunted Bomber and then enter the Museum’s Maze of Horrors. There will be photo opportunities next to the Ghost Fighter, and people can then climb aboard the Tram of Terror for a ride around Hangar 3.

There will also be crafts, games with prizes, face painting, and more.

There will be a costume contest for children ages 1 through 16. Adults are also encouraged to dress up in horrific garb. Prizes will be awarded for the best original and creative costumes, courtesy of Cockpit USA.

Halloween music, like John Zacherley’s “Monster Mash,” will be playing, too.

The regular admission fee is $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and veterans, $10 for kids 5 to 12; and free admission for kids under 5 and active military.

"Your contributions support AAM’s mission to honor our veterans and U.S. aviation history, by preserving the aircraft and their legacy for future generations," the museum wrote.
