Ben Cohen has loved Halloween for as long as he can remember, now the 9-year-old has transformed a path in front of his house on Florence Avenue into a destination of scares and fear for all ages.

Spooktacular spirit on the avenue

9-year-old builds Halloween display to share passion By lUKE FEENEY lfeeney@liherald.com

A nine-year-old Sea Cliff resident has transformed a path in front of his house on Florence Avenue into a destination of scares and fright for all ages. Ben Cohen loved Halloween since he was toddler, attributing his passion for the holiday to being surrounded by the decorations of his aunt Marissa Cohen growing up. “I got inspired by her,” he said. Cohen fostered his initial love into investment by asking for money from his family and friends to buy Halloween animatronics every birthday and holiday. “They just looked really cool, and they looked spooky,” he said. “I liked the creepy stuff.”

Cohen described creating spooky environments designed to give people a scare as his passion. The aim of the path, he said, is to give people a “spook,” adding that he likes “people to get a little scare in their life.” The path debuted on Oct. 16 and is open on Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays from 7-8 p.m. It features fog to create a spooky atmosphere, remote-controlled animatronics that can scream or remove one of its body parts. It also features red outdoor string lights, yellow caution tape, sound effects as well as ghouls, ghosts, and monsters. His favorite Halloween movie is Five Nights at Freddy’s.
