This year for Halloween, former Hollywood actor, producer and digital entertainment executive Will Keenan is launching a fun and family-friendly event called 'Tromeo’s Halloween Cemetery Scare!' at the St. Babs church.
As the church resides on one of the most historic cemeteries in New Jersey, it offers plenty of learning opportunities for those of all ages. At the event, families will have the chance to partake in a haunted cemetery tour, a Zombie Crawl, a Zombie Prom, or listen to readings of haunting poems by Edgar Allan Poe.
One of the events going on as part of Tromeo’s Halloween Cemetery Scare! includes a Buried Alive Experience "where attendees can feel what it’s like to be buried in a fresh grave complete with funeral procession."
