State Scare is the scariest indoor haunted attraction in New Jersey. Take a stroll down ‘Maim Street,’ a terrifying little thoroughfare built on the site of the old State Processing Factory, recently razed due to its evil activities. On Maim Street, you’ll find a creepy barber shop, butcher, pub, hotel and 5&10. Come and find out why shoppers are disappearing, and Maim Street isn’t quite what it seems. “Not So Scary Sunday Matinee” for kids, Sundays in October, from 4-6 p.m.

Vita Sackville-West was a wealthy socialite and aspiring poet.
Virginia Woolf was of more modest means, and widely considered to be a
brilliant writer. Yet, these two women shared a long and complex
relationship. Told mostly through letters that sparkle with wit and
insight, Vita and Virginia sheds an intimate and provocative light on
these two visionaries as they negotiate what it means to be a sexual
woman in their respective worlds.
