With insane clown sightings and costumes shops popping up all over New York City, Halloween seasons is in full throttle. We recently had the chance to check out two of the scariest haunted houses the city has to offer. They’re literally on two different sides of Manhattan, so we’ve got you covered. First, we stopped by The Uninvited: Awakening, a thrilling experience brought to you by our friend Michele Ware of Hoodwinked Escape and veteran producer and haunt designer, Dalton M. Dale. The Uninvited: Awakening is a site-specific theater installation located in and utilizing the cellar level of the historic Graham Court building, which once served as stables for the Manhattan elite. The Uninvited: Awakening is a 25,000 square foot, 30-heart pounding minute experience; combining immersive theatrical storytelling, epic scenic design and scream-inducing state-of –the-art special effects. The scariest part of the experience was not being able to hear or see which haunted creatures were stalking you as you walked through the haunted house. The wide open space leaves you vulnerable as all hell. At Uninvited, these haunted folks can touch you, so if you’re going with friends, hold on to them tight! The Uninvited: Awakening open now through November 6th at the Historic Graham Court, 151 W 116th Street, NY, NY on the northwest corner of 116th street and 7th Avenue.
