Last Chance to Visit 22nd Annual Spooky Walk

Oct. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- (Center Moriches, New York) — This weekend is the last chance to get “spooked” at the 22nd Annual Spooky Walk to benefit Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck. Spooky Walk will take place on October 29-30 on the campgrounds of Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The event is being hosted by the Moriches Paquatuck Squaws.

Since its inception in 1989, Spooky Walk has drawn between 10,000 and 15,000 visitors each year. Last weekend, on October 22-23, 2010, five thousand people turned out for the longest — and scariest — Halloween walk on Long Island.

As visitors enter the gates, they will encounter some of the scariest, most grotesque creatures they have ever seen. Their bravery will be challenged as they walk an inescapable route into The Black Woods. This year’s exhibits include the Psycho Circus, The Pirates, The Die-Ner, The Haunted Gazebo, The Dark Woods, The Witches and more!

This year’s Spooky Walk is geared towards older children, teenagers and adults. Younger children may also attend, but it is up to the parent or caregiver to determine if their child can handle it. If for any reason the parent needs to take the child out, they may do so by notifying a security officer.

Tickets can be purchased at the gate for $12.00, with proceeds going to benefit the special-needs children at Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck. Food, drinks and souvenirs will be sold at the end of the walk.

The camp is located on Chet Swezey Road. For more information, visit www.spookywalk.com. For more information about Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck, call (631) 878-1070 or visit www.camppaquatuck.com.
