Out &
About
BY JILL DAVIS
What could be more appropriate for October
than Frankenstein Friday, celebrated on the
last Friday of the month in honor of the birth
of Frankenstein and its creator, Mary Shelley.
A Mr. Ron MacCloskey of Westfield, New
Jersey, created this day in 1997. Ron supposedly
chose Friday since more people can party
than on other nights of the week. Notably, the
cartoonist Charles Addams, best known for
the mysterious and spooky, altogether ooky
Addams Family, was also from Westfield.
Coincidence? Perhaps not.
Halloween is on a Thursday this year and
there are lots of things going on in the area
which will get kids of all ages into the
Halloween mood.
Here’s what’s coming up over the next few
weeks:
