Blood Manor – Haunted Attractions in New York City

We’re already back in the Big Apple, and as before, we’re bound for a bloody good bash. Last time it we did battle with ravenous vampires, but this time it’s an insane, evil and oft-undead smorgasbord of creatures and crazies come to kill us (and not with kindness). We’re headed to the Blood Manor haunted house in Manhattan, New York.

Entering their fifth year of spine-tingling spook-tainment, the folks at Blood Manor have spent the time and earned the experience to put together a real beast of a haunted bastion. There’s absolutely nothing pleasant about this place, and I mean that as a high compliment.

Your unease sets in early. The waiting area walks with disgusting visages and mangled monsters, a few of which hail from the famous DisGraceLanD family of freak show entertainers (love the name). Still, it’s all in good fun. You shouldn’t worry for you life, or your sanity, until you step inside the Blood Manor.

The directors don’t recommend guests below the age of 14, and boy do they mean it. Room to room, horror to horror, this is a grizzly and gruesome journey, and the strong-hearted will love every second of it. Blood Manor mixes cool, sometimes out-there ideas but flawless invention. Impeccable set design, drenched in detail, provides atmosphere to spare, and can even pull off something as outlandish as the “Beauty Shop of Horrors”.

Throughout the Manor, hi-tech lighting effects are employed, including some 3D sequences. Each of the 19 rooms is also set to its own soundtrack, always striking the right note. And especially exciting, among the new creates this year are a pack of “Sexy Zombie Strippers”. Do you really need anything else?

Blood Manor is located on West 27^th Street in Manhattan. Advanced online tickets cost $25 and guarantee entrance on the selected night. As always, early arrival is recommended to avoid longer lines. The season runs from October 2 – November 7, with show dates varying. View the Web site.

We already recommended our downtown hotels in a previous post, so this time I think we’ll hop across the Hudson to the Crowne Plaza Englewood Hotel in New Jersey. This affordable New Jersey hotel is actually located closer to several Manhattan attractions than most New York hotels, and we always get a good price.

Have fun.
