On Wednesday, October 29, 2025, starting at 7:00 p.m., all participants will receive a visit from Village of Warwick Mayor Michael Newhard and guest judges, who will decide which ghouls and ghosts scare them the most.
Prizes:
-
First, Second, and Third Prize winners will be posted on the Village’s website and earn bragging rights that “I Scared the Mayor.”
-
One special home will receive The Karl Scheible Award for Exemplary Skill and Thematic Creativity, in honor of the late Village of Warwick Planning Board Member Karl Scheible, creator of the original “Haunted House” on Oakland Court.
