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.
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.

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.
