Poughkeepsie, New York Haunted Attractions: Kevin McCurdy’s Haunted Mansion 2014 review
Kevin McCurdy’s Haunted Mansion is in my opinion the keystone of the haunted attraction industry. These guys are who many other haunts in the country subcontract to make their most amazing scenes.

Nightmare NYC is one of the most unique haunted attractions that I know of. They do a show that is more theatrical than most. This haunted attraction is not your standard boogity boogity chainsaw chase – and that’s precisely what I like about it. When you go to Nightmare NYC the entire point is to…

New York City: Blood Manor 2013
I attended a media event for Blood Manor haunted attraction in NYC. It was a party followed by a walk through of the haunted house. It looks like they have taken their haunted attraction which I reviewed here a couple of years ago and made some good changes and augmentations to it. When I went…

Poughkeepsie, NY: Kevin McCurdy’s Haunted Mansion 2013 review
Kevin McCurdy’s Haunted Mansion in Poughkeepsie, NY is a slightly different type of haunted attraction. It’s been running since 1977 and, in our opinion, is one of the most interesting and creative haunts that you will find.
