Monsterville, New Jersey
Merchantville, New Jersey, is known for such things as its Victorian homes and nature trails. However, in recent years, it's also become "Monsterville" every October, a tradition that is continuing this year.
The temporary name change is not a Halloween prank. Monsterville began in 2015 as a campaign from a group of residents led by Councilperson Anthony Perno to further promote its love for the celebration.
And an adopted ordinance made the moniker official.
We drove to Monsterville on Sunday night after dinner at a favorite pizza joint nearby. It's similar to the Halloween heaven that is Lambertville, NJ, but it's much more spread out. So you have to drive to these colorful hotspots that suddenly appear down a shadowy block. Growing up in Merchantville during the Halloween season must be insane.

The Pumpkin Patch
Wonderful farm that has a pumpkin festival every weekend during October. We got some terrific pumpkin soup and picked up a few beauties for this year's display.
The Haunt Next Door
One of my favorite accounts on Instagram. Devoted solely to featuring the haunts of others. Haunts of every variety. The stuff we grew up seeing... simple ones, extravagant ones.

Halloween III Screening With LIVE Music
Live music by Alan Howarth, that is. At the Colonial Theater in Phoenixville.
Man, last night was quite the evening. We had the amazing pleasure of watching Halloween III: Season of the Witch on the big screen, as composer Alan Howarth augmented his and Carpenter's brilliant score, playing along on stage. It was bliss.
After the movie, he spoke about his insanely interesting life and then fielded questions from the crowd. After that, he did a little guitar playing to cues he put together from his film scores. It was ludicrous. What a night.
Some photos below, with two short videos at the bottom.
