Thursday, October 1 at Frightmare Farms in Fulton, NY.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with attractions beginning around 7:15 p.m.

Yes. Lit Actually will have books available for purchase during the event, including titles from participating authors and other seasonally appropriate romance reads. Some authors may also have their books available for purchase as well! Books and Brew will also have thrillers, mystery and other books available. And Two Broke Besties will have seasonal blind dates for sale as well!

You can pre-order books from Lit Actually here.

A lot. Frightmare has gathering areas with fire pits, seating, food and beverages, small shops and plenty of spooky atmosphere.

There will also be bookish vendors, photo opportunities, themed social moments and select Frightmare attractions operating throughout the night.

Frightmare’s actors are getting in on the bookish fun.

Leading up to the event, you’ll see characters appearing in social content reading romance novels and participating in other book-related antics.

They’ll also be available for photo opportunities during the event. We’ve been promised a few appropriately romance-coded masked characters, possibly involving some muscles and strategically limited layers, while keeping everything fun, non-offensive and on brand.—usually within one business day.

We are building this event for everyone! We know there are very different definitions of “fun spooky night.”

The event is being designed so you can participate at the level that works for you, whether you want:

• Cozy fall atmosphere, a PSL and absolutely no desire to be chased by anything

• A little spooky fun without testing your cardiovascular system

• The full fright-fest experience and the possibility of questioning several life choices afterward

You can come primarily for the books, authors, vendors, food and atmosphere without needing to be a hardcore haunted-attraction person.

There will be three ticket tiers, with final details being developed by the Frightmare production team.

The highest tier will be an RIP experience, which will include additional perks, goodies and/or attractions plus access to a separate party area.

There will also be goodie bags for RIP ticket holders.

The other ticket tiers will include access to a designated number of Frightmare attractions.

No. This is a special event night, so the entire Frightmare Farms attraction lineup will not be operating.

The production team is selecting and scripting the attractions that will work best for this particular event and each ticket tier will clearly outline what is included.

We’re keeping this event 18+ unless you want to explain what a Cockmark is to your child.

Yes. Frightmare Farms is primarily an outdoor venue with multiple gathering areas and shed-style structures throughout the property.

There are tents available in the event of inclement weather and we’ll have contingency plans in place, but guests should plan for an outdoor fall evening and dress accordingly.

We’re going to hope October gives us peak sweater-weather perfection, but this is Central New York and we know better than to negotiate with the forecast.

We’ll communicate any weather-related updates as the event approaches. But this is rain or shine.
