Haunted in the Aberdeen-Matawan Area: Halloween 2010

Looking for Halloween fun in Central New Jersey? I've put a few things together for you.

Maybe you're in gear for the 19th Annual Fright Fest at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson? You'll get a healthy mix of thrill rides and goblins.

Or you could check out haunted places at Lost Destinations. Many of the sights are in New Jersey, even some in our area. My favorite is Whipporwill Valley Road in Middletown. It's truly creepy. Or you could check out this list of haunted houses. No personal recommendations here, but they look worthy of experiencing.

How about hayrides, pumpkin pickin', etc, etc? Try these.

• C Casola Farms off Route 79 in Marlboro has the Haunted Hayride of Terror.
• Dearborn Market off Route 35 in Holmdel.
• Samaha's Farm off Lloyd Road in Aberdeen.
• Battleview Orchards at Wemrock Road in Freehold.

More my speed is to drop by Delicious Orchards in Colts Neck and pick up a pumpkin pie and apple cider and other goodies.
