Friday the 13th LIVE with Kane Hodder

I just love that this new addition to the October event is Friday the 13th LIVE with Kane Hodder.  I thought at first we would be dressing in costume and acting out the plot on the intimate stage of the Griffen Theatre.

We will not be acting or dressing in costumes (thank goodness), but Kane Hodder will, indeed, be LIVE in the audience during this incredibly unique screening of Friday the 13th.

Here's the official, entertainingly written event description:

Come for a screening of this iconic and memorable 80's classic and listen to LIVE commentary by KANE HODDER who will be with you right there in the audience! To any Modern Horror Movie fan, this will be a once in a lifetime experience. Your friends will BLEED with envy when you say you sat with Kane Hodder and watched "The New Blood"!! Each ticket comes with admission to Count Orlok's Nightmare Gallery! The film will be screened at a separate location at The Witches Cottage at Griffen Theatre. The theater is intimate and the seats will sell fast so don't wait! See you then!!

They aren't kidding when they say "intimate" and "sell fast," so we recommend buying your tickets quickly so you don't miss out on the opportunity to brag about hanging with Kane Hodder during Salem Haunted Happenings.

Connors Farm Corn Maze is now open!

The Connors Farm Corn Maze is now open for the season!  Themed the "Witches Of Salem," the 7-acre corn maze is open until October 31st.

Connors Farm is a great destination any time of the year, but in the fall they pull out all the stops. In addition to the enormous corn maze, there are games, pedal carts, a grain train, pumpkin tether-ball, a giant sling shot, a jumping pillow, pick-your-own pumpkins and apples,and Bob's Barbecue Pit.


In October, the Corn Maze will go haunted on the weekends after 6:30 PM.  It's seriously scary, and not recommended for younger children. (As a side note, my 11-year-old is still talking about how awesome the haunted maze was in 2011. AWESOME, he says.)

The Connors Farm Market and Bakery are open 7 days, 9am-6pm. 

Purchase tickets online and save $1.  For general information on Connors Farm, click here.

Connors Farm is in Danvers, which is about a 20 minute drive from downtown Salem.  Click here to see directions on Google.
