Blood Manor 2012

Fright Night began as members of the media received a sneak peek of the terrors that awaited them at Blood Manor, New York City’s premier haunted house, during a cocktail reception hosted at nearby W.i.P.

Sponsored by Bacardi, guests mingled with monsters, zombies and serial killers, as the music blared. The actors stayed in character throughout the surreal nightlife scene, interacting and terrifying guests as we sipped on themed drinks.

As the undead and evil escaped to their lairs across the street, we were escorted to the 5,000 square foot space of terror.

During the next 20 minutes, we navigated through a pitch dark labyrinth, connecting 15 themed rooms of horror, from diabolical clowns to a human slaughterhouse, ending with a sensory assaulting 3-D experience.

Regardless of your phobia, you’re guaranteed to stumble upon a scene that is your own personal nightmare.

The screaming begins Friday, October 5 and continues Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through November 3. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. to midnight on Thursdays; 7:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays; and 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Sundays.

Tickets can be purchased online for $30 (plus a $3.50 handling fee) and it’s located at 163 Varick Street in Manhattan.
