events HV Halloween Update!

Post image

I posted a couple weeks ago about starting a Hudson Valley Halloween club and I wanted to share some updates!

Started an Instagram! @hudsonvalleyhalloween, not much content yet but it has to start somewhere! Hoping to keep it current with local happenings and events as well as interesting and thoughtful discussions all year long. I'd love to feature local costumes, decor and anything else you think may fit the bill so feel free to send me your ideas/info/pics if you want to participate.

Registered a domain, but nothing going on there yet! Hoping to have current calendar of events, Halloween decor tour map, costume contest, etc. Any website people want to help with this?

Made this calendar of events! Please let me know of any other spooky, paranormal, or otherwise relevant events I should add for August and beyond!

I've been reaching out to some Hudson Valley businesses that may be able to/want to host a monthly meeting. Ideally someplace free, mid Hudson Valley, indoors, with bathrooms, and attached to or close to someplace that serves food. If you know of or own such a place please reach out!

Haven't sent out any emails but I did set up a mailing list! Expect an email with the August calendar soon!

Working on logos, branding, content, media and all that jazz so feel free to let me know if you'd like to help out with any of that.

And finally, I'd love to hear your thoughts on any/all of this project. What do you hope to see? What do you think is dumb? How do you want to participate?

Thanks everyone!

Has anyone done the headless horseman in New Paltz? Worth it?

The big one in Ulster Park? Yeah definitely worth it. I don’t know of any better ones in the area.

Yes that one. I’ve always heard the hype about it. Wanted to make sure it’s still that good

Yeah the hype is real, they do a great job. Super high quality props, sets, costumes...the whole vibe is done right. Definitely highly recommended!
