Prepare to be terrified like never before as Dark Night Halloween World, Long Island’s top-rated haunted attraction, makes its spine-chilling return to Bald Hill Amphitheater in Farmingville, NY, starting Friday, October 13th. This year, the Halloween screams and delights are bigger and scarier than ever, offering retro, 80’s and 90’s-themed thrills and horrors that will send shivers down your spine.

In 2022, Dark Night Halloween World secured its place on BuzzFeed’s prestigious list of the “Top 20 Haunted Houses” in the U.S., ranking #15. This year, it’s back with a vengeance to show you why it deserves that acclaim. With a staggering lineup of nine hair-raising haunted attractions (the most on Long Island), a bustling vendor market filled with Halloween-themed artists and vendors, a Vintage Halloween Museum, captivating one-of-a-kind social media photo opportunities, a spooky pumpkin trail, two immersive Photo Experiences with Krampus and Baphomet, live scare actors, and theme park-grade animatronics and effects, this season’s event promises an unparalleled Halloween extravaganza.

One of the most exciting additions this year is the “GENERATIONS FROM BEYOND” Haunted Drive Experience, presented by Generation Auto Group. On select nights, you can embark on a family-friendly, sci-fi journey from the comfort of a Kia, GMC, or Buick vehicle, adding an extra layer of adventure to your Halloween experience.

Behind the scenes, the creative minds at DarkWorld Entertainment Group have gathered a team of artists from across Long Island and the U.S. to ensure Dark Night Halloween World surpasses all expectations. Among them is scenic designer Chelle Papaycik, renowned for her work at some of the nation’s largest haunted attractions and theme parks. The event also features custom effects and special masks crafted by Hollywood FX Houses like CFX Masks, Dapper Cadaver, and Distortions Unlimited.

Aidan P. Finnegan, Co-Owner of DarkWorld Entertainment Group, expressed his excitement, saying, “We’re thrilled to bring back Dark Night Halloween World for another year of heart-pounding excitement. Our team has worked tirelessly to create an unforgettable experience that will leave visitors screaming for more. This is the Halloween event that Long Island has been waiting for, the one it truly deserves, and we can’t wait to share it with everyone.”

Dark Night Halloween World is the result of a partnership between Finnegan and local event producer Martin Arominski. Arominski has an extensive history of creating some of Long Island’s largest Haunted Events, including the iconic Chamber of Horrors NY, Long Island Fear Fest, Halls of Terror, and the original owner of Blood Manor in New York City. Their combined expertise ensures that this event is nothing short of spectacular.

Mort Spuccenskrëm, Co-Owner of Dark Night Halloween World, added, “We’re opening the doors for artists, brands, and businesses to create their own opportunities at our event, even other haunted attractions in the area can participate! If you have an attraction of your own, whether that is Axe Throwing or an Escape Room, or you want to promote and sell your wares – Dark Night Halloween World is the place to be.”

Dark Night Halloween World opens its gates on Friday, October 13th, and the screams will continue until Halloween.
