This Friday, Nov. 6, the Fright Yard of Atlantic Beach will be back by popular demand. During the night, when you think you're safe, many characters from famous horror movies including Freddy, Jason and Leatherface come out of captivity on a murder spree, and you're the victim. The yard includes life-size monster mannequins and at least a dozen actors who chase unsuspecting visitors. There are five different themes in the yard, including an operating room and a horror chamber complete with strobe lights, scary music and fog lights. The Fright Yard is located at 1582 Park Street in Atlantic Beach off Vernon Avenue. It will open at 6:30 p.m. and close at 10:30 that night. A visit to the Fright Yard is free, but Isola said a donation of a non-perishable food item would be greatly appreciated. He added that all donations will be given to a local food pantry for needy families. For more information about the Fright Yard, visit www.frightyard.webs.com

A Nightmare in Screamhurst -- Mark Sarro, a 2000 Lawrence High School graduate, has been decorating his house on Washington Avenue in Cedarhurst for Halloween for the past 10 years. This year's theme is "A Nightmare in Screamhurst." One side of the yard is a mock graveyard filled with tombstones of celebrities who have either passed away or been in the news recently. The other side is a pumpkin patch which displays the different ways that the those buried may have died. Sarro, who makes most of the decorations on his own, said the reason he decorates the house for Halloween is because he wants to showcase his creativity and likes hearing from kids and parents about how creepy the house is.

Hundreds of people flock to 189 Wanser Ave. in Inwood each night to take in the many sights and sounds of the Haunted House of Wanser. The house first opened three years ago and has been scaring the living daylights out of residents ever since. “I love to see the kids’ faces,” said Warren Martz, the home’s owner. “They stay there at night and see the smoke and the lights. It’s like Disneyland for free. If you’ve got time and you’ve got kids, it’s something worth seeing.”
