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.
