On October 24th all the ghouls come out with no holds barred for the Sinister Haunted Trail Halloween Event where we light up the trail (in places, the rest of it is dark scary woods) and the crazy clowns, masked chainsaw men and evil witches will haunt this abandoned mill in Chester Factory Village including a complete sound show, live props and gags.

Be prepared for a spine tingling, jump out of your pants walk thru the haunted woods! Join the Hilltown Hikers and our volunteers at our Granite Saw property. We will have a haunted trail complete with a 12-foot diameter cutting saw, real tombstones, haunted gags, bloody ghouls, skin crawling sound show, zombies and more! What is lurking in those woods? Don’t worry, we will make sure you get out….alive!

AND THERE’S MORE! The Town of Chester invites all ghouls, ghosts, and goblins to gather at the Chester Ball Field on Emery Street for frights and fun! We’ll kick things off at 5pm for the little ghouls with pumpkin painting, face painting, followed by a rag-shag parade. Sink your fangs into Trunk or Treat, live DJ with music, Chester Fire Department food, Ice cream Truck by Our Mother’s Kitchen and spooky sweets by Mel’s Kitchen while spooky spirits roam the grounds. Dress to impress (or terrify!) for our costume contests, followed by an award ceremony with trophies and prizes for trunks and costumes. Warm your bones by the fire at the snack shack, where hot cocoa, cider and other sweet treats await. We hope to see you all there!

No dogs please on the haunted trail.
