Halloween is everyone's favorite holiday. What's not to like about dressing up in costumes, collecting candy and generally causing mischief with your friends? Maybe Staten Island isn't your first choice for Halloween plans, but you should definitely reconsider! Staten Island has some awesome choices for Halloween activities.
1. Rocky Horror Picture Show
On October 30, the Rocky Horror Picture Show is playing at the St. George Theater. The cult classic is a Halloween staple, and if you've never seen it with the company of a live audience, you're in for a treat. The audience interacts with the movie, in such a creative fun way, its hard not to get swept away in the madness.
2. Cemetery Flash Light Tours
Willowbrook has a long, infamous history on Staten Island, and what's better then exploring Lake Cemetery on Willowbrook Road on Halloween weekend? Bring a flashlight and take a guided tour around the spooky (and possibly haunted) cemetery.
3. Halloween at Historic Richmondtown
Do some classic trick or treating at Staten Island's oldest and most historic sites. Come in costumes, collect some candy from the historic buildings and play some games, like bobbing for apples!
4. Halloween Pub Crawl
Pubcrawl.com is famous for putting together themed bar hopping events, in any area you could think of. They decided to bring a Halloween one to Staten Island this year. If you buy a ticket, you get special drink specials at all the bars listed on the crawl and of course, costumes are encouraged!
and if all else fails....
5. Go trick or treating
I am totally not ashamed to say at 22 years old, I still go trick or treating. Nothing wrong with getting a little free candy and dressing up in a fun, creative costume! I definitely don't go out for hours like I used to when I was younger and I mostly stay on my block, where I know my neighbors. It's a fun tradition to continue with my friends, and Halloween just wouldn't be quite the same without it.
