BloodManor successfully scared me

If you are following me on my blog, by now you know I am a Haunted House Halloween junkie. I love to be scared and try to do Haunted Houses, haunted B&B's or haunted places every year. This year I seem to be going over board and have so far done Nightmare Superstitions in Noho, Jason's Woods in PA and now I have added Blood Manor in Chelsea to my list.

Out of the 3 I have designated BloodManor #2 between the 3 above. We purchased the R.I.P. tickets through Goldstar https://www.goldstar.com/ at a discounted rate of 25.00 per ticket. In my opinion so well worth it. The R.I.P is a V.I.P pass that allows you to skip the line and another plus take the elevator up to the 5th floor.

The make up on the actors was so well done. There was 2-3 actors per room so this helped everyone in the group get scared here and there. One of the faults of not getting scared at Nightmare Superstitions was one actor per room and no real boogie men jumping out at you to surprise you and get you to SCREAM!!

My husband asked if I would go back, and I would if I could not try a new place next year. I am hoping I can finally add Salem, MA to my list October of 2011. (I went to Salem as a kid, but not as an adult yet)

So I would say if you want 15-20 minutes of fun scary stuff and you get get it at a discounted rate, for sure "I DARE YOU TO DO IT" !!

A weekend off from NYC to PA Dutch

Ok I know this is my "New York City" blog but I had to tell you about my weekend break from the city. We decided to head to PA Dutch instead of the city for Columbus Day weekend. After being disappointed at Nightmare Superstitions in Noho NYC, I headed back to an all time favorite haunt of mine "Jasons Woods". It was as great as I remember and I had MANY a scream! I got on a Haunted Hayride, Haunted House, a 3D haunted pirate house and a museum of items from horror movies and such all for 45.00 almost the same as Nightmare Superstitions which I had no scares and one exhibit.

I also wanted to make special mention to the great B&B we stayed at called Greystone Manor in Bird in Hand. Besides being so reasonable the grounds and home is just lovely. I highly recommend staying here if you head off to PA Dutch.

To scare or not to scare......NOT at Nightmare: Superstitions NYC

I am a bit of a Halloween Haunted place junkie and excited to have new options this year since I have never done any of the Haunted activities in Manhattan. I have been a junkie of haunts since the early 80's when my first haunted house was the "Haunted Mansion of Long Branch, NJ". http://www.darkinthepark.com/Haunted%20Mansion/Home/lbhome.htm This place was awesome and it started my love of going to Haunted places and get scared and screaming!! Unfortunately the Haunted Mansion burnt down. Some of my other favorites over the years have been "Bayville Haunted Firehouse in Long Island", "Jason's Woods" in PA and "Terror behind the Walls" a haunted old prison in Philly. I have been trying over the years to try at least a new Haunt every year. This year I added Nightmare:Superstitions to my list.

All I can say is I am happy I got a discounted ticket on Goldstar, https://www.goldstar.com/, Nightmare in my opinion was a waste of money and I did not get scared once. I love going into the Haunted Houses and having a few good screams. I think I had a mini scream once. I was so disappointed. Also I have been scared in many Haunted Houses with out anyone having to touch me. I do not understand why they feel the need to touch you, if they can't even scare you. I know people who raved about Nightmare that it is so good they go every year. Maybe they have nothing to compare it to like me??? Should I give it another try maybe next year? I wish I went last year when it was a vampire theme since I am so into TrueBlood & Vampire Diaries. Love my vampires!

Next week I am not staying in the city and heading back to PA to go to Jasons Woods. I have not been for about 4-5 years now, but previously have gone there at least 3 times. They have newly expanded it and I am excited to get the SH*T scared outta me!! BOOOOOOO!!!!

In the following weeks I hope to get to Bayville Scream Park in Long Island and Blood Manor in NYC.
