Alexandra De Collibus is the spirited force behind Halloween New England and is an expert on Halloween events and attractions in the northeast. Alexandra is a Massachusetts native and lifelong Patriots fan who after years of trying to find events on outdated websites and misleading haunt directories, she created a solution to her own problem–that is how Halloween New England was born.

At the heart of Halloween New England is Alexandra's unwavering dedication to meticulous research and curation. Her pure, obsessive focus is on unearthing hidden gems, showcasing bucket-list experiences, and being a relentless advocate for the outstanding Halloween industry right here in our  backyard. She’s built deep relationships with local event producers to understand their needs, how to best support them during the season, and how to effectively connect them to Halloween fans. Her first-hand knowledge gained through visiting events and attractions across the region is why people trust her expertise and why Halloween New England has earned its acclaim as the #1 place for drawing every last drop of blood–er, delight from the Halloween season.
