HALLOWEEN HAPPENINGS

BRIGHTON ASYLUM PASSAIC, N.J.Brighton Asylum admits visitors to roam legendary hallways, operating rooms and experimental treatment chambers. This huge, haunted warren unfolds entirely indoors. On special “contact nights,” visitors don glow necklaces indicating a willingness to physically interact (think straitjackets and abductions) with the attraction’s actors, which amplifies the fright factor. Those nights also feature a different pathway through the facility as well as a unique ending. With live line entertainment, horror movies and other activities such as zombie paintball, the experience at Brighton is fully immersive.

HAUNTED SCAREHOUSE WHARTON, N.J.An eerie abode looms at Haunted Scarehouse, where two floors of fear – The House of Nightmares and The Attic – entertain those who venture inside. Scenes from the horror anthology film, “Abandoned in the Dark,” were shot on the premises, and creatures from other popular movies make appearances. Special effects, intricate sets and masterfully rendered monsters reside around every corner. Creaky stairs lead to The Attic, a trove filled with a carnival of terror. Plus, an elaborate, lobby-style queue area with multiple rooms stirs anxiety from the start.

PURE TERROR SCREAM PARK MONROE, N.Y.A trip across state lines to Pure Terror Scream Park in New York pays off immediately. Located in Monroe’s historic and inherently spooky Museum Village, Pure Terror features five haunted attractions spread across 2 miles of terrain. The experience begins on a backwoods Trail of Terror that ducks into abandoned cabins, caves and catacombs. A string of elaborately haunted homes follows, with themes exploring Phobias, Terror in the Dark, Sanitarium Terror and The Living Dead. You’ll even stumble upon a freaky hoarder’s yard. It’s a layered, all-encompassing experience that feels bone-chillingly real throughout.

SIX FLAGS GREAT ADVENTURE FRIGHT FEST, JACKSON, N.J. Great Adventure’s Fright Fest returns for its 23rd season with new scares and dozens of signature attractions, including a Dead Man’s Party. Days are family-friendly and feature a Looney Tunes trick-or-treat trail. At night, zombies roam the park, and terror trails, haunted mazes and scary shows rule. Plus, Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom – a 41-story plunge that just debuted as the world’s tallest and fastest drop ride – could frighten anybody.
