The Haunted Mill is now officially three days!

This year features a haunted garden/forest by Calder Kamin, a Lynchian photo booth by Patricia Voulgaris, a vintage horror film set by Rosabel Rosalind, a room crawling with giant paper mache bugs by Lia DeFranco, a sparkly swamp witch’s hut by Rixy, a trip to the Norse god Hel’s kitchen by Lise Ellingsen, a crowded funhouse by Danielle Klebes, outdoor open mic “skaryoke” by Eliza Fernand, a post-human puppet show collaboratively produced by Theodora Skipitares and Jane Catherine Shaw alongside students in our JV/Varsity art clubs (Saturday only), and, on the top floor, a journey into the land of the monsters under your bed by Miranda Nichols.

Saturday Haunted Mill tickets are $10 for individuals and $20 for families. (Two parents, one kid? $20. Two parents, four kids? Still $20.) On Friday and Sunday, tickets are discounted to $8 for individuals and $15 for families. If your family has a student in the Webutuck Central School District, keep an eye on your email for a promo code for a free ticket.

We will also be introducing a soft timed entry system to help the line move smoothly this year. Tickets will still be available at the door, but we recommend RSVPing and selecting your attendance time in advance (Saturday from 5–6 PM is historically the busiest time). You will not be denied entry if you come outside of your scheduled time.

On Saturday the 26th (only!) at 7:00 PM, we’ll head over to The Lantern’s garden for the Monster’s Ball, featuring a costume contest and live music. Please note that Monster’s Ball tickets must be purchased in advance and all attendees must wear a costume. Meaning: no day-of or at-the-door sales and uncostumed ball-goers will be turned away, even with a ticket. We’re not kidding! Tickets have sold out in advance of the event every year and are on pace to sell out earlier than ever this year. Dress to impress, dance ’til you drop.
