Halloween in Morris County to You!

Halloween in Morris County
Halloween is a time of the year when nothing is quite what it seems. Some people put masks on to be someone else; while others take off the masks they wear daily and show themselves to the world.
The Ancient Celts in Ireland first celebrated Halloween as Samhain (pronounced “sam- wen”), which was their last day of the year. It was believed that the souls of those who died returned for this one night and played tricks upon the living. The Celts would visit neighbors for contributions of food and have a boisterous feast in order to scare away the spirits.
In Chatham and Summit, Halloween is a reason to fill the streets with colorful superheroes, glittery princesses, sharp-toothed vampires, solemn Jedis, ephemeral fairies, rough pirates, and sugary blonde brigades of Hannah Montana clones. You can trick or treat with the kids at local businesses and houses around the towns starting at 4:30 p.m., the accepted “start time” of Halloween.
If scares and tricks aren't your particular treat, then bring a special someone to the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey located at Drew University for a production of "Romeo and Juliet."
Besides trick or treating or attending a play, there are many great activities within a half an hour car ride of Summit or Chatham. Listed below is a list of haunted houses, haunted hayrides, and farms where you can pick your own pumpkins!
