Old Sturbridge Village, Phantoms by Firelight

About this event

Step into a world where a legend comes to life and curiosity blurs the line between wonder and fear. This October, Phantoms by Firelight enters a thrilling new chapter – and you’ll want to be among the first to experience it! Join Old Sturbridge Village for the premier season of Phantoms by Firelight: Frankenstein Encounter, where a 200-acre, historic village becomes an immersive world of mystery, suspense, and haunting beauty inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. For only 11 nights in October, visitors will witness spine-tingling dramatic performances, dance, and ominous music. Along the way, guests can hear ghost stories by the bonfire, build a monster (a twist on trick-or-treat), watch a coffin being made, learn about inventions of the past, play games, savor cider donuts and hot cider, and so much more. Saturday nights are expected to sell out. Get your tickets in advance to experience Frankenstein like never before at this electric and captivating Halloween event. A legend awakens. As darkness falls over the Village, lanterns flicker, and fog settles across the landscape. A new story begins, and this time, you’re written into it. You don’t watch the story. You walk through it. Our 1830s village transforms after dark into the experimental world of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, where every fire-lit path leads to a scene where the story is still unfolding. Phantoms by Firelight: Frankenstein Encounter only runs for 11 nights! BUY TICKETS Content & Sensory Advisory: Frankenstein Encounter is a fully immersive experience featuring themes from the original 1818 literary work of Mary Shelley.
