As if the day and age we live in didn’t keep us “entertained” more than enough with chills, spills and related anxiety attacks, people still love to be frightened. From bizarre and unnerving theme park rides and attractions to all manner of repulsively grotesque horror films, people never seem have quite enough of a good scare.
Here in post-9/11 Manhattan it’s not any different and a new and purportedly terrifying attraction has now opened. Blood Manor, located at 542 West 27 St. between 10th and 11th Avenues (a less glitzy and more shady section of town), is a “ haunted house” attraction that promises to terrify one to his or her heart’s content. With its 5,000 square feet of eerie rooms, twisting corridors and creepy passageways, it provides a perfect playhouse for its ghostly and monstrous ghouls and goblins threatening all that enter with misfortune. These nightmarish residents are murderously evil and proudly up to no good, popping and springing out at every unsuspecting guest who also gets treated to (among other things) a psycho-themed bathroom, a weird alley of skeletons and a crazy spider-infested room.
The Blood Manor’s management appear eagerly and gleefully devoted to scaring the living daylights out of its guests. They warn that the Manor isn’t designed for children under 14; they will not be allowed entrance without a parent or guardian. Additionally, people with heart and back problems, pregnant women, and anyone prone to seizures or suffering from afflictions made worse by fear, anxiety and flashing lights (that probably includes most of us) should avoid Blood Manor.
Being as intellectually perverse and idly curious as the next person, I may be tempted to visit Blood Manor. However, being a lifelong resident of New York City, I’ll realize that the REAL chills and spills won’t be in my visit to the Manor but rather in my daily adventures in this city. Has anyone out there ever rode the IRT in the early morning hours? Maybe one or two o’clock?…But that’s another story.
