Eighth annual 鈥淪carefest鈥 beckons Harlemites to CCNY, Oct. 31

鈥淪carefest,鈥 City College of New York鈥檚 annual family-friendly Halloween celebration welcomes the Harlem community on campus on Friday, Oct. 31, with spooky fun and frights for all. In its eighth year, the event, from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., is free and open to the public on a first come, first served basis.

As always, the highlight of Scarefest is a walk through the dark tunnels running underneath The City College campus and designed to resemble a haunted passageway. Curated by CCNY鈥檚 Theatre and Speech Department, the 15-minute experience includes all the staple elements of your traditional horror movie: ghoulish sightings, spine tingling sound effects and more. 

The entrance is at West 138th Street and Amsterdam Avenue. The ADA entrance is located at the North Academic Center (NAC) Building ground floor Plaza at 160 Convent Avenue (near 138th Street).
