The sky is starting to darken early, the leaves are browning and the wind is starting to howl like it’s trying to tell us something. How does that song go? This is Halloween! The North Fork transforms during the spookiest season and there’s plenty for everyone, young and old, to do throughout the month.

So take this dark, terrifyingly fun journey from Riverhead to Orient with us, and don’t forget to say the magic words — trick or treat!

GRAVEYARD TOUR
Saturday, Oct. 15, North Fork Community Theatre, 12700 Sound Ave., Mattituck

Lots of small towns have a community theater group, but how many troupes can say they’re on the same property as a historic — and haunted — graveyard? The merry band of actors at NFCT have seized upon the unique location of their beautiful performance space to create an informative, entertaining, slightly eerie tour of the graveyard, portraying real-life former North Forkers who are buried on the grounds. This tour is a collaboration with the Mattituck-Laurel Historical Society to make it historically accurate, from costumes to script.
