Get a Quote For some, Halloween includes dressing up for costume contests, binging on your favorite candies, and watching reruns of scary Disney movies (Hello! Hocus Pocus anyone?). For others, the holiday entails Michael Myers-type of scares evoked only by the 1978 original “Halloween” Michael Meyers. For those of you falling among the latter category of Halloween-lovers, allow the New York City moving experts, Shleppers Moving & Storage, to introduce you to some of the scariest homes on this side of the Hudson River. With over 30 years of experience moving in NYC, we’ve seen our fair share of NYC homes. So, trust us when we tell you that the following are 4 of the Best Haunted Houses in New York To Make Your Blood Run Cold:
New York Haunted Hayride: Randall’s Island
Usually home to music festivals like Governors Ball and Electric Zoo Festival, Randalls Island transforms to New York Haunted Hayride for your Halloween-themed enjoyment. This experience is half hayride, half blood-curdling terror—and that’s putting it lightly. Climb aboard a tractor-pulled hay wagon and hang on to your seats as you’re taken on a chillingly rustic drive through a land filled with downright devilish characters. Just when you think you’ve seen enough ghouls and goblins to last you a lifetime, you’ll arrive at the House of Shadows. In this dark and winding maze, your only support to help you make it out alive is a dimly lit lantern—but will it do you any good when it also allows the things that go “bump” in the night to see your position throughout the maze?
Blood Manor: Lower East Side
With a name like “Blood Manor”, this NYC Haunted House should already give you enough reason to run screaming. If not, consider that this Manhattan manor plays host to themed rooms with titles like, “Killer Clown Room, Hannibal’s Hell, and The Crypt”…yeah, we’d be scared if we were you. For those of you brave enough to enter this 5,000 sq. ft. house, do so at your own risk.
BEWARE: the lines to Blood Manor can get horrifyingly long. We recommend that you purchase an express access ticket in advance!
The Gravesend Inn: Brooklyn
Check in, if you dare! The Gravesend Inn, in its 20th annual year, is filled with high-tech scare tactics all set to frighten those who enter. Out of the 4 Ghostly NYC Haunted Houses That’ll Make Your Blood Run Cold
, this inn is the only haunted house experience that has been deemed child-friendly. Purchasing your tickets in advance is also advised for this spine-tingling event.
This is Real: Brooklyn
We’ve saved the worst for last. This is Real is an engrossing, horrifying experience that is not for the faint of heart. Those who dare enter are given 70 minutes, in which your primary goal is to stay alive while a deadly lunatic on a homicidal killing spree (simulated, of course) attempts to abduct you…
Perhaps staying home on your couch watching Hocus Pocus and chowing down on chocolate candy is the more fitting choice.
