About The Party

My name is Phil Maceno, your host of #pHiLsHaLLoWeEnBaSh. I threw my first substantial Halloween Party in 1999.  Substantial then meant about 25-30 people and a few decorations in the basement of my home.  Each year the party grew by the dozens, eventually forcing me to begin the daunting task of finding a new “home” for the event.  Eventually, after moving to Collingswood, it became known as pHiLsHaLLoWeEnBaSh and landed at the party room of The Pop Shop.  They were great hosts, but after three years there was just one problem: the party grew too large for capacity limits.  What would I do?!  I didn’t want the BaSh to move out of this great town!  Was this the end?!  Fortunately, NO!

After finding...

     the old, historic Collingswood Theater (known as the Factory) and after being there for many years, the party will move on yet again to the biggest venue in the area! Keep checking back for exciting details and information!

I’ve always loved Halloween, more than any other holiday of the year. I am a fan of horror films and the unexplainable, especially when it’s creepy and scary.  I also remember as a kid getting so excited thinking about what I was going to be and even more excited to go trick or treating.  Not because of the candy, but to show off my costume. I can’t wait to see YOUR costume!  Will you win the contest?
