For many Long Islanders, Halloween is about candy and mischief.  Then there are those that really want to immerse themselves in this spooky holiday.  What better way to do so then to visit some of Long Island's scariest haunted houses.  After stumbling upon the website L.I. Haunted Houses, it seemed like a good idea to put together a list of the places that are worth visiting in the coming week.  Please check out the websites for information before deciding to attend with children.  Some of these places are pretty intense.

 

 

 

 

 

NASSAU County

Bayville Scream Park - This Halloween Theme Park features four different attractions (Bloodworth Manor, Uncle Needle's Funhouse of Fear, Temple of Terror and Curse of the Zombie Pirates)

 

SUFFOLK County 

 

Schmitt Farms Haunted House in Melville - Features a haunted mansion and an even creepier haunted corn maze.  Perfect if you want to star in your own horror movie.

 

 

North Babylon Fire Company Haunted House - There is a day and a night show.  The day show is appropriate for children ages 8 and up, and the night show for children 12 and up.

 

 

Darkside Haunted House in Wading River- The Darkside Haunted House and Haunted Village will make you feel like you have stepped into a horror movie. Their slogan - "Be Prepared To Be Scared!"  Enough said.

 

 

 

Medford Haunted House- Lock up the women and children if you're going to visit at night!  The days are kid friendly though.

 

 

 

 

Andrea's Haunted House in West Islip - Prepare to be petrified.  Their website recommends bringing a change of underwear!  Need I say more?

 

 

 

REMINDER:  Please check out each of these websites before bringing children to check out these very scary places.  Have a happy and safe Halloween!

Very interesting Adam. I was never into going to haunted houses primarily because I don't scare easy and didn't see the excitement in them. But many people do get enjoyment out of haunted houses. thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the list Adam!  I have been to Darkside in Wading River and I can attest to the scare factor!

SEAN:  Thanks for your comment.  Haunted houses have never been a big thing for me either, but I started seeing all of these ads for them, so I thought that it was worthwhile to post for those that are interested.

KATHY:  Thanks for sharing your testimonial and for your comment.  By the way, I noticed that you needed a photographer.  I can recommend one to you that is excellent and very reasonable.  Let's talk offline.

Some of these sound very tempting Waldman, I could use a good scare now and again.  I haven't been to a Haunted House in years.

Andrea's looks very intense.  A change of underwear would be a requirement for me.  Then again, I usually carry a spare.  I don't think that this is posted to Localism yet.

I am glad you covered yourself by disclosing these homes as haunted, Adam.  That top one in particular looks suspect.  I think that most prospective buyers would be likely to discern this for themselves upon initial inspection, but you can't rely on them to see Freddy Krueger hiding in the boiler room, or Leatherface oiling up the chainsaw in the utility room.  You don't want to get all the way to the home inspection before buyers uncover the truth. 

Home Inspector: "Okay .. so we have a faulty GFCI outlet here ..."

Disembodied Voice: "Get Out!"

Buyer:  "What was that?"

Waldman:  "Nothing, nothing at all.  What was that about the GFCIs?"

 

Kudos to you, Adam, for being at the leading edge of disclosure issues!

JASON:  Do you have the kind that you put in water and it grows to full size like those promo towels, or do you carry it around in a bag? (LOL)  A lot of these came with warnings about bringing the kids around.  Thanks for commenting, Jason.

PAUL:  That's why I ALWAYS do my home inspections in the daytime.  The ghouls usually only come out at night.  All part of being an evil genius! (LOL)

Adam- Well, I won't be attending Haunted Houses.  I have never liked to be scared. When I was little I saw one of those black and white Vampire movies and had nightmares for over 12 years! No Thanks, not a chance! Katerina

Adam, I've been to a few of these and they are great.  Bayville has a good three hour wait on weekends it's so good!  And Schmitts Farm is fun as well; I don't think you missed any.   Btw, you're right about small children, I think it's too intense for them.

KATERINA:  It's not something that I do either, but I thought that since there seems to be a lot of publicity around these types of things now, that I would help spread the word to those that are interested.  I hope that this post didn't scare you too much.  Thanks for commenting even though this isn't your thing, Katerina.  I really appreciate it.

CAROLE:  I think that you should be the first-ever Feng Shui tour guide!  I'm amazed at how much you've done and seen on Long Island and around NYC.  You're something else my friend.  Thanks for sharing your first-hand knowledge and for your comments, Carole.

Adam, I had a past client who used to work as the manager of one of California's largest Halloween haunted houses.  Obviously it was a seasonal job, but given the size and complexity of the operation and the number of visitors, it was quite a serious job.  He had to hire staff, promote and advertise the place, and help come up with the "script" for haunting the house.  Are you taking your son to any of these this weekend?

Adam - Certainly a cool post for the season! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! Sounds like you have some really great haunted houses in your area. We have nothing like that around my area.
