Celebrating its 36th year, the Spooky Walk will be held to benefit the camp for children with disabilities.

The Spooky Walk began in 1989 and has developed into one of Long Island’s most popular Halloween events. The Camp Paquatuck Fundraisers were the first volunteers, along with family and friends, to set up, dress up, and haunt unsuspecting visitors as they strolled through the campgrounds. Today, they have more than 500 volunteers who make the Spooky Walk possible.

According to Marcella Weiss, the past camp board representative and Spooky Walk coordinator, president of the The Moriches Paquatuck Fundraisers, many of the booths for the walk start setting up right after Labor Day and work several hours getting their exhibits ready.

“The Spooky Walk provides an evening of total entertainment. The lines can be long, but when asked, customers don’t mind the wait,” she added. “We try not to rush anyone through, so everybody gets a good scare. It is amazing to sit back and listen to the laughs and screams as this 35-year-old tradition continues to entertain and to support Camp Paquatuck.”

Delivering about 45 minutes of scares, the Spooky Walk is considered the longest-lasting haunted walk on Long Island. One hundred percent of the proceeds go to the camp.

The walk will be open from 7 to 9 p.m. at 2 Chet Swezey Road in Center Moriches on Oct. 18, 19, 25 and 26 at Camp Paquatuck. Tickets are $25. For more information, visit spookywalk.com.

WHAT YOU WALK THROUGH

The first exhibit is Alice in Zombieland, hosted by Amanda Epp, Daniel Szabo and friends.

The exhibit is then followed by The Wicked Woods, made by the Ferington family, who go above and beyond making sure guests are spooked by many scary surprises.

Next is the Back Trail into deeper woods for more frights and hidden monsters! This area is manned by several volunteers with a stop at The Cult, hosted by Jessica and John Del Cuore. The Cult is an eerie area that takes walkers through a dark tunnel. The walk continues up the path and to the water’s edge to visit the Lost Pirates as they try to welcome you aboard.

Walkers then head up the hill to the Haunted Hospital to visit patients that never left.

New this year, Rob Frey is promising a scary media event. So, come and be surprised!

The last exhibit, and the most popular, is Club Boogie, hosted by Chris Burian, which invites everyone to dance along with his happy monsters.
