New Jersey Top Haunt: Brighton Asylum

Year Round Horror Themed Attraction!

Taking the number one slot for New Jersey’s best haunt of 2017 is Brighton Asylum. This Halloween season sees an all new interactive addition inside the bowels of this ramshackle 1940’s asylum, Zombie Attack. Forget paintball and laser tag, you and a team of friends will take on weighted, metal body replicas of M4 rifles so you can truly tackle the undead uprising. Called “The scariest place on earth” by The Today Show and rated as a Must See Haunt by Haunted Attraction Magazine for 2 consecutive years, it’s needless to say that if you want to get into this attraction, you should buy your tickets early. Visitors can also gain access to their time sensitive escape rooms, where you’ll need to work together to unlock hidden passageways and solve the puzzles that lead to your freedom. But why stop there? Since Brighton Asylum is open on selected dates year round there will always be an occasion to get spooked! So go ahead, take your loved one out for one of their dark Valentine’s Day celebrations in February, or maybe try your luck at one of their full contact (waiver required) experiences even later in the year. No matter when you need the scares, Brighton Asylum will be there!

New York Top Haunt: Darkside Haunted House

Professional haunt with movie quality sets!

Darkside Haunted House has intrigued curious visitors both near and far since 1998. Offering two attractions for the price of one, guests will get access to “The Village” and “The House” – both of which sit on over 14,000 Sq feet.  Fanatical patrons of the establishment insist that you should take your time to enjoy the professional and beautifully crafted props and scenery, although that may be hard when all you’ll want to do is hide your eyes and run! Located in the middle of a deserted field, adding a hint of real world isolation, you must make your way through the winding trails of “The Village” before venturing indoors where even more startling scenes await you. Applauded by Newsday for their realism and continual effort in creating a bigger and scarier haunted house year after year, you may want to bring a change of pants. (Or two.)
