This is Halloween

On Sunday, Oct. 25, the Revival House, Hudson Fields, and the Beebe Foundation will host another free outdoor movie event, “This is Halloween” to again benefit Beebe Medical Center in its ongoing efforts to help Sussex County during the Covid-19 pandemic. Food, music, artists, vendors, and safely distanced fun and entertainment will once again mark the event, capped off by a double-feature screening “A Nightmare Before Christmas” and the original 1978 classic “Halloween.”

The event
Featuring several food and beverage trucks, local vendors, and live music. The event will feature a limited number of trick-or-treat bags for younger attendees and there will be various stations around the Hudson Fields grounds for them to collect treats, starting around 5:00 pm.

The music
Even though they are veterans of the local stages, many of the members of Hope For Success are not even old enough to drive. Performing about 70 times since their formation, Hope for Success has plugged in and performed at the Freeman Stage, Rehoboth Beach Bandstand, Irish Eyes, Crooked Hammock, JD Shuckers, and will be making a return appearance to Hudson Fields to perform for the event.

The food and drinks
This is Halloween will feature a number of food and beverage trucks for visitors, including Street Kitchen, DaNizza Pizza, Sea Hogg, Kona Ice and, of course, popcorn vendors. Drinks will be served from: Revelation Brewery, Nassau Valley Vineyards, Brimming Horn Meadery, and Beach Time Distilling

The films
A little after dusk (6:09 p.m.) families are encouraged to take their seats in their pods to enjoy a screening of the animated classic “A Nightmare Before Christmas” on a huge 52-foot screen.
After a short intermission, those brave enough to remain are encouraged to stick around for the screening of the quintessential film of the season, the 1978 John Carpenter classic “Halloween.”

The safety
As in the Jawsfest event, all entrants are required to wear protective face covering while walking around the grounds and maintaining the CDC-mandated six-foot distance from one another. Only when groups are safely seated within their “pods” on the field will they be allowed to remove them. 

The Revival House is once again working with Beebe to ensure that all organizers and vendors receive temperature checks prior to the event opening.

Once again, the event is free and open to the public, but donations will be accepted at the door with all proceeds going to Beebe Healthcare’s frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
