FARMINGDALE, N.Y- Residents and locals to the Farmingdale area are in luck for the Halloween season with the Jack's Nightmare Halloween Pop Up Experience, happening September 20 - November 2 and located at 230 Main Street, Farmingdale, NY. 

Stacey is one of the bartenders at the Alibi Lounge, where this event is being held. She has been a bartender in the Farmingdale area for 7 years, and has worked this exact event for the last three years in a row. She shared with us the excitement and Halloween spirit this immersive show has to offer.

According to Stacy, this family-friendly and immersive dinner show is inspired by Tim Burton’s A Nightmare Before Christmas. Stacy urges customers to take a look at the spooky-themed items on their menu, such as the  “pumpkin king pie martini”. It is also seen that family and friends will come dressed to fit the theme of this fantastic show, wearing their own pumpkin king-inspired costumes. When it comes to pictures and videos, the staff welcomes you to take photos with the crew once the show has come to an end. 

She explains how there are two shows offered on select dates where tickets can be purchased online or at the front door. Ticket prices are $20 for children and $30 for adults attending. Shows are scheduled for 6 pm and 8 pm, with a 90-minute seating limit, where guests can enjoy the experience while ordering tasty meals and cocktails, all inspired by Tim Burton's most popular film. 

Regarding parking, it is noted that there is parking both on Main Street or parking in the rear, making it easily accessible to all. 

Although seating is only reserved for 90 minutes, there is still room to walk around and enjoy the decor of the lounge, and engage with the crew members. It is noted that the menu specifically catered for the event offers a selection of shareable appetizers, desserts, and themed cocktails.
