Corrado's Hayride of Horror

Hackettstown, NJ- Corrado's Hayride of Horrors. Joe Corrado Senior raced Stock Car Number 1 in upstate New York, now he is head of the pit crew of 7 tractors that has made over 12,000 laps through the Hayride of Horrors, a Haunted Hayride that is celebrating 20 years as a Haunted Attraction. "I never really thought about how many laps around the Haunted Hayride we have done" says Corrado Sr. 20 years is a major milestone in the Haunted Attraction business. The competition in the genre of Haunted Attractions is getting more competitive with each passing Halloween season. Some of these attractions fly away like a spirit of the night because they try to capture Halloween with the best mask or best animated gadgets. However, when Corrado’s Haunted Hayride of Horrors was built, it was built to last. “My wife Marie Corrado, who recently passed away, loved Halloween and shared that spirit with with our 7 children. “ says Corrado “ It  now includes grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins.“ Love and heart also helped build their marriage that lasted  53 years. For a time of year when you are supposed to be afraid, the Hayride of Horrors provides some good Haunts, with a little Corrado love. For instance, at the midpoint of the Haunted Hayride, you get a break in the action with some fresh apple cider and homemade cider donuts.“I traveled from Nutley, says Haunted Hayride fan Tommy Murphy “We had a great time and I will be coming again next year.” For many, Corrado’s is a yearly tradition. “This has been a Halloween tradition of ours for over 10 years now” says Lisa Lontaria of Wayne, “I love that they add some new things every year and they are always so nice after they scare you.” Your Entertainment dollar goes far for the $15 it costs to ride. You are treated to a 45 minute hayride with a Narrator who interacts with all of the customers and provides great lead up to each scene. You can sit on the either side of the tractors that run every 15 minutes. If you are lucky enough, you may get the special Wendell’s Ride of Doom tractor, which can easily be pointed out with its elaborate decor and fire sticks. You journey through many different sets that use a variety of horror movie themes with some very creative homemade concepts and designs added. The actors do a good job of playing their parts and will tone it down the scare with some humor if you have a little one on board. Though, no matter what age, the sound of a chainsaw will get your heart racing. If you want more haunts, add the Haunted House for another $15. A different tractor that takes you to another area of the Farm that travels through the Corn Field. Corrado’s has managed to capture the true spirit of Halloween from the legacy of Marie Corrado and some Corrado family love. You too can catch the spirit by taking your family and building your own Halloween tradition until November 1st.

Brighton Asylum NJ Haunted Attraction

Brighton Asylum

Passaic, New Jersey-Brighton Asylum NJ Haunted Attraction Runs Wild in Passaic, NJ is back and better than ever for 2014 with all new sinister characters and super-creepy sets!  It is the brain-child of Rich Gonci and crew, the haunted industry vets that brought us the legendary Twisted Maniac Trail in Montvale, NJ.

The eerie tone is set early on with their multi-tiered marketing efforts and engaging website.  The website weaves a well-written and entirely believable tale of an abandoned asylum that their haunted attraction takes place in.  Even though it’s actually just an old, run-down warehouse, a quick Google-search will reveal that they’ve captured the collective imaginations of enough visitors to make “Brighton Asylum History” one of the top related search terms.

The wait times are made much more tolerable by the inclusion of drinks and snacks, paintball, horror movies projected on to the wall and, of course, roaming monsters.

Once indoors, you’re treated to 13,000 square feet of bone-chilling terror.  There is a varied mix of standard, clichéd startles and more cerebral, inventive scares.  Likewise, some of the sets are very well thought out and truly terrifying, while others are frankly underwhelming.  Their use of lighting effects is masterful, while some of their outdoor-themed sets only serve to remind you that you’re still just in a warehouse.  It takes approximately thirty minutes to get through the attraction itself.  The “R.I.P.” upgrade is totally worth it during peak hours.  All things considered, it is a solid attraction and time well spent for casual attendees and haunted-enthusiasts alike!

Brighton Asylum was pre season ranked number 5 Haunted Attraction in New Jersey by Bigtime Magazines Annual Haunted Attractions Issue. They are competing against Haunts such as Scareland Stadium, Bane, and the Haunted ScareHouse in Wharton, New Jersey.

Tapp the App to bring the Haunted Attractions App to your Smart phone that features the Haunt Hunters led by Mr Haunt himself, Triple M Marty Coleman.  The top Haunts will be previewed and the National, Regional and Local Ranking of the Best Haunts will be updated each week.  Entertainment Network App brings you all of the Haunt Hunters Action.
