“The lights look cool,” says Paul Bennett, Director of our Coach and Livestock Department, holding up one of the LEDs that will brighten the four nights of Haunting on DoG Street. He’s excited about the prospect of outdoing last year’s Halloween bash.
We’re talking about the horses that will be coming in costume for Haunting of Dog Street. Why should humans have all the fun, right?…
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of our Halloween monsters? Tom Hammond does. From a rough story line and a few beastly names, Tom and his colleagues in the art of costuming sketched, selected, and sewed the outfits and accessories for an assortment of ghastly characters….
As those fortunate enough to cross his path know, Zach Hillegas (a.k.a. Zachariah Hill) has been drawing shade portraits from his corner desk in Mr. Greenhow’s store for several months now. As of this week, he is officially an Apprentice Artist. But it turns out he has a darker side……
Pat yourself on the back for being ahead of the game this year for Halloween. Costumes? Check. Tickets to “A Pirate’s Life for Me”? Check. And it’s only the first week in October. Whether this year will be your first Haunting on DoG Street or not, you won’t want to miss the one-of-a-kind kid food being served in our historic taverns—for four nights only! What could be better than leaving the cooking to us on one of the busiest weekends of the year? And let’s be honest, isn’t it a lot easier to get your kids to eat their dinner when it looks like a sea monster?
The “Young Pirate’s Menu” (for the young and young at heart alike) will be served in three of our taverns October 28 through 31. We’re keeping things classic, affordable, and fun with four spooky specials that are all $5.

In just a little more than a month, Sea Witches will arrive under a cloak of darkness to put a curse on our colonial capital several nights leading up to All Hallows’ Eve. They will terrorize guests in their quest for the severed head of the infamous and villainous pirate, Blackbeard. Once in their hands, the coven would gain unimaginable power to continue to do evil throughout Colonial Williamsburg. Do you dare to stand in their way?
I have always loved Halloween. It is the one night out of the year we all embrace the strange and mysterious. Yet, I never imagined I would get the chance to help create a Halloween event right here in our colonial capital!

Okay, okay. I know it’s still summer and an unbearably hot one at that. But if you stop to think about it, we’re really just two months away from my most favorite season—fall! For Colonial Williamsburg, that means beautiful and vibrantly colored leaves, hot apple cider, burning cressets, and yes—Halloween.

I was able to attend Haunting on DoG Street first on Friday night as a volunteer and then Saturday with my family. Both evenings, it was evident—while all of my colleagues did a stellar job, the Coach & Livestock crew definitely stole the show! Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what it took to pull off such an amazing live Halloween display.

My family and I stayed in the heart of Colonial Williamsburg this past weekend after winning a “Halloween Costume Contest” posted to Facebook. We just moved to Hampton Roads from New York about a year ago and didn’t really know what we were going to do for Halloween. When we found out we’d won a night’s stay, we were beyond ecstatic, especially when we discovered we’d be staying in a haunted Colonial House!…
