Description
In 2009, BLOOD MANOR, NYC's Premier Haunted Attraction, returns to scare Manhattan senseless for the fifth consecutive year. The traditional gift for a 5th year anniversary is wood; may we suggest a pine box 2 feet wide and 7 feet long for this grand occasion? Undoubtedly, there will be some caskets already stacked up at Blood Manor’s creepy location: 542 West 27th Street (between 10th & 11th Ave). Some patrons arrive in coffins, others depart in them, but all are enlivened at the end of this spine-chilling journey.

Marauders with a gluttonous longing for screams, scares and scars are gravitating to join the caravan of soulless corpses heading towards Blood Manor. Destined to be suited to something, these poor souls are to the manor born, or in this case, to the manor die. Freaks, zombies, demons and mere mortals descend upon Blood Manor to fulfill a constant craving that gnaws at them all year long: a depraved appetite for gore and a twisted thirst for blood.

Immensely successful in its first 4 years, BLOOD MANOR will open for its fifth frantic season with a bloodcurdling scream on Friday, October 2, 2009. With louder shrieks, scarier scenes and more shudders for each moment in its fun-filled darkness, BLOOD MANOR makes your fears come to life.

In October 2009, the BLOOD MANOR escapade begins the moment you arrive at the site of Manhattan’s premier haunted attraction. Milling about the place is Voodoo Rob, Henry the Caretaker, monsters bigger than life and Disgraceland characters: all entertaining you until the time your excursion through the manor begins. The real freaks from The Disgraceland Family will literally hang around you. When these guys say, “the suspense is killing me” – they mean it! The Disgraceland Hook Squad presents modern day flesh suspensions in a raw, most primal way, but enjoy this pure and simple fun. Among dozens of cutting-edge animatronics and scores of state-of-the-art props, Blood Manor’s exciting horror experiences this year include the new Disgraceland Room – you’ve never seen anything like it! Also new this year are the Sexy Zombie Strippers and the 3D Bedroom’s satanic, possessed demon children – you’ll never sleep again! All of our Blood Manor actors have slogged over into different horror rooms; they want to bite off more than they can chew and they’re waiting for you…

When you first enter BLOOD MANOR, you pass through the I Scream Parlor where the organist, an unwilling organ donor in his former life, plays while who-knows-what lurks behind the walls. The immediate chill you feel is intensified while battling the terrifying elements of the Thunderdome: a fierce electrical storm complete with pounding rain, howling winds and blinding lightning. If you survive the putrid precipitation of Mother Nature’s wrath, you’ll get no respite in Hog Hell. You’ll squeal like a hog and your only escape is through Skull Alley, but you may wake the dead as you stumble on your way. The petrifying path is bathed in UV light, which is utterly shocking as it envelops you. Duck into the Boiler Room where scalding hot steam emits from the pipes and smoke abounds in this dismal underground passageway. Make your way through this psycho superintendent’s lair quickly or you may wind up looking like one of the charred bodies. Speaking of looks, stop in for a touch-up at the Beauty Shop of Horrors - it will be the last appointment you'll ever need! If your shave is a little too close, you can choose a new scalp-style from the multitude of horrible heads adorning the shelves. Show off your new coif while staggering down the all-new, electrifying 3D maze by world famous artist Stuart Smith of Stuartizm Designs, LLC. Experience sensory overload as she-demons, creatures, zombies, spiders and other unidentifiable beings take note of your presence and breathe down your neck. There are no restrooms here, but upon entering the Blood Bathroom you just might relieve yourself. The stench of dried blood hangs in the air of this 3D scene of a massacre, but don’t gag too loudly or you may awake the psycho sleepers in the 3D Boudoir of Endless Sleep next door.

There are a total of nineteen environments - each with its own creepy digital sound effects that will make your heart skip a beat. Blood seeps, drips and pours everywhere; BLOOD MANOR spews roughly 37 gallons of blood per night, give or take a fatality. The finale of this terror tour is bound to leave you running for your life from The Slaughterhouse, if you escape with your limbs intact.

That’s just a sampling of the sinister smorgasbord awaiting you at Blood Manor. There’s plenty more where that came from – it’s a blood buffet! For those of you who have previously survived Blood Manor, 2009 will provide many new and extreme experiences; for first time visitors, you will finally face your darkest fears!

Jim Faro, Mike Rodriguez and Jimmy Lorenzo, whose combined passion for all things spooky, created this Halloween Haven. Sparked by insurmountable cravings for the macabre and decades of their own incredible Halloween houses, the trio have reached scary nirvana with BLOOD MANOR.
The team works all year long to perfect the haunted attraction in time for “the only month that really matters,” October. If BLOOD MANOR doesn't scare you out of your skull, these guys are not satisfied. With these guys – HALLOWEEN IS DEFINITELY NOT JUST FOR KIDS!
Oh, and GO AHEAD SCREAM…. IT WON’T MATTER!
