Every year, New York warehouse spaces rise from their graves and provide a refuge for out-of-work actors seeking well-paid seasonal jobs (seriously, make sure to grab have a good look at them—you've probably seen them in Law & Order). We admit, being raised on a visual diet of graphic violence and horror films, we're kinda hard to spook, but haunted houses can at least provide the chance to mess with your friends, and you're guaranteed that something'll make you jump out of your skin at least once.
