Halloween is here once again! The best parties of the year are just a few days away! People travel from all over the world and come to New York to attend the scariest and best NYC Halloween parties that happen all over the city.
We have fun just with the thrill of dressing up for the NYC Halloween parties, which we do need to confess, we do spend a lot of time prepping! Ok, so do all other New Yorkers too! So cool!!!
Plus, we do know that New York always hosts the best parties in the planet, right?
We’ve selected a few of the scariest and best NYC Halloween parties to attend. In addition, we also talk about a few other days in October to party and start getting in the vibe for the 31st!
Take a look:
Haunted Hayride
Hosted at Randall’s Island, this event has definitely created a buzz after last year’s success! This night will surely make you scream, so get ready!
“The Halloween Attraction that made Ten Thirty One Productions famous and convinced Mark Cuban to make the largest investment in SHARK TANK history returns for its second year with a brutal and haunting program that has tripled in growth, featuring THREE ZONES in 2016.
After 8 years of sending Los Angelenos into the woods for the most horrifying experience in town, the Haunted Hayride has become the most popular Halloween Attraction in the county. Now, in its second year in NYC, all the stops are being pulled as this year’s attraction offers a higher octane horror experience of psychopathic fun than our inaugural year delivered, since we think New Yorkers can take it.
Psychotic clowns, viscous demons and killers will be waiting around every turn to ruin you.”
The three new experiences are House of Shadows, Purgatory Haunted Village and Theatre Macabre.
Dates: October 13th – 31st
Location: Randall’s Island
