Lehigh Valley Haunted Poconos Park Offers Halloween Fun for Everyone

By Joe Wehinger — 2 years ago

On Halloween weekend Oct 28-29, Lehigh Valley’s Haunted Poconos Park unleashes fun for all ages, with a slew of events from kid-friendly trick or treating to genuine thrills, even sit down dinner and a dance party.

And you’re invited!

Poconos Park is popular for its central location in North East Pennsylvania, with easy drives from NYC, Philly and the Lehigh Valley.  

This time of year the road trip is gorgeous.   But as you get closer, your view turns from romantic Autumn to haunted destination.

You drive deep into the dark woods, fog creeps around your car, moonlight pierces through the trees, howling wind makes screachy scratching sounds.

Just then, you expect Leatherface to run out sparking up his chainsaw – and the party hasn’t even started yet.

All of the festivities take place within walking distance at the newly-acquired Pocono Park, a huge indoor / outdoor destination that hosts concerts, theater shows, corporate events, weddings and private gatherings.

This weekend it’s transformed into a Halloween Haven.

Pocono Park manages to create Halloween for everyone, from you littlest goblin who wants candy, laughs, and no scares to the group of friends who want scares and thrills.   Every Halloween and horror lover has a spot here.

For Halloween, event company From The Roots has taken over and promises thrills, smiles and memories for you, your friend and your family.

John M. Oakes, From The Roots

 

John M. Oakes who runs From The Roots , loves putting on a show and delights in every twist and turn from ultra scary, to the cutest moments.

Earlier this week, we got a preview tour of the most popular attraction – Playhouse of Horror. 

It’s a fast-moving, screams around every corner, standing – crawling – jump fest.  Pro tip: Go through it next to your friend who screams the most — it’ll +10 the whole experience for ya.  The Playhouse is fun, fast-paced, well-designed and has the mark of any good maze, when it’s done you’re high-fiving your friends and wanting to get right back in line to go again.

The Front Bottoms Stop in Poconos at Stroudsburg’s Sherman Theater Sept 15

By Ruben Kellermen — 2 years ago
The Front Bottoms Stop at Sherman Theater on North American Tour 2022
Indie-rock outfit The Front Bottoms bring their 2022 tour to the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg on Thursday, September 15.
Opening for the band will be The Joy Formidable and Mobley.
In support of their new EP, Theresa, The Front Bottoms will hit the road for a five-week headline tour across North America.
The EP is led by the single “More Than It Hurts You.”
The five song collection serves as the third installment of the band’s popular Grandma EP series and features new recordings of never before released fan favorite songs.
During 2014, the guys unveiled the Rose EP named in honor of drummer Mat Uychich’s late grandmother who passed the same year. Four years later, the Ann EP followed in 2018 named after guitarist and vocalist Brian Sella’s grandmother. Theresa finds The Front Bottoms continuing the tradition by reheating tracks from their earliest days and properly releasing them for the first time.

The Front Bottoms headlined a special sold out three show residency at Jersey City’s White Eagle Hall this summer.

The Jersey City shows marked the first live performances from The Front Bottoms since the 2021 iteration of their popular year-end bash, Champagne Jam.  Last year, The Front Bottoms shared the standalone singles “Lover Boy” and “Voodoo Magic,” the latter of which the band enlisted Matt Skiba of Blink-182 and Alkaline Trio to play guitar on.
Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Brian Sella and drummer Mathew Uychich, The Front Bottoms have gripped listeners and press around the world with their ragged honesty and emotional urgency.
In 2020, The Front Bottoms released their celebrated album, In Sickness & In Flames, a twelve song collection produced by Mike Sapone.  A.V. Club declared, “The Front Bottoms are as vibrant as ever on In Sickness & In Flames, a reliably great collection of folk-punk anthems that rattle the soul with crunchy riffs, electrifying hooks, and Brian Sella’s idiosyncratic lyricism, which remains as amiable as it is anxiety-ridden.”
The Alternative detailed, “While In Sickness & In Flames was written prior to the pandemic, so much of it feels so tethered to our present collective experience, from the introspection and reflective growth that is showcased in the songwriting, to the sweeping highs and lows of the music itself. This album is the perfect companion piece to the anxiety of standing in the face of uncertainty.”
Show:  The Front Bottoms with special guests The Joy Formidable and Mobley
Date:  September 15, 2022
Time:  Doors at 7:00 PM; Show at 8:00 PM

Museum Must-Sees in the Poconos

By Daisy Schneider — 3 years ago

Poconos has history and culture; and what a great way to explore both by visiting these museums.

Old Jail Museum

Located in Jim Thorpe, the amazing museum is a bucket list item for sure.

The coal mining history of the Poconos and the painful story of coal miners who were given death sentences will raise your eyebrows. The 7 coal miners were collectively known as Molly Maguires who were hanged to death in 1877.

Cold hallways. Strange handprints on the walls.  All reminders to visitors of the pain of the prisoners.

Love mysterious places?  It’s a must visit during your trip to the Poconos.

Antoine Dutot Museum & Gallery

Curious about the early education system of America?

Antoine Dutot Museum & Gallery is perfect to witness a school made of bricks, an old classroom and a vintage bell that looks just like a liberty bell. The former art school was later converted into a museum.

It was named after the great Antoine Dutot who discovered the town Dutotsville later renamed Delaware Water Gap. Their gallery exhibits old rifles, documents and rare art pieces.
