Garish zombies, monsters and other ghoulish creatures await in this 5,000-square-foot labyrinth of horrors, deemed too scary for children under 14 to enter without supervision. Pass through themed rooms such as The Crypt (where no one rested in peace) and Hannibal’s Hell (with 1,000 ways to die). It’s popular, so lines are likely to be long—consider shelling out for an “R.I.P.” express-access ticket.
Fall is just around the corner, and while some of us are dreaming of hot apple cider, hayrides and picking apples and pumpkins, others are eagerly planning for the upcoming spook-fest that is Halloween in NYC.
