Get Spooked At A Sensory Haunted House In Brooklyn
When we talk about Halloween in NYC, we have to say that the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade is so 20th century. A Brooklyn haunted house showcasing professional scarers is what you'll really want to check out this season.
The Gravesend Inn Haunted Hotel is a yearly production by the New York City College of Technology as a departmental project in "entertainment technology"—the kind of training that would prepare you to work on a Cirque de Soleil show in Vegas or be a Disney Imagineer. The hotel is designed to "sense" and respond to visitors; for more on that, check out an engineer's inside take on what makes it run. Last year's production imagined a hotel buried over a sailors' graveyard haunted by vengeful pirate ghosts; will it be zombies (or zombie Michael Jacksons this year?
The Gravesend Inn opened October 15, so all the glitches should be out by the next performance on Thursday the 22nd. There are seven other performances spread between the two weekends before and including Halloween; tickets are a November-1st-candy-sale-friendly $6. You can watch clips of previous years' performances on YouTube, if you need a little encouragement for this year's scarefest.
