Fright is big business. What also makes this industry doubly interesting, however, is that the haunted attraction business is largely a DIY one, with an assortment of creative carpenters, engineers, mechanics, and creepy-looking actors crafting fright-fests to make visitors jump out of their shoes Sometimes they run and leave shoes behind. In a sense, haunted houses date back to prehistory. Fangoria Magazine wrote that many ancient civilizations had their own versions of haunted houses. To keep body snatchers and gold diggers away from the treasures of the recently deceased, Egyptians built within the pyramids mazes, moving walls, and traps filled with snakes and insects.
Stories of labyrinths filled with scary monsters are common in Greek and Roman mythology. During the early years of Christianity, with the clergy looking to wipe out "pagan" holidays such as the Gaelic festival of Samhain which includes a celebration of the dead , they created horror plays designed to frighten people into converting.
Modern-day haunted houses are the direct descendants of the macabre exhibitions that sprang up to spook people in the 19th century.

Horror continued to be a popular, if subversive, form of live entertainment in Europe. As Smithsonian Magazine writes , Paris' Theatre du Grand Guignol specialized in shows that featured graphic dismemberment. So-called "ghost houses" popped up at Edwardian English fairs. The haunted house as we know it today traces back to s America, where they were meant to be a family-friendly alternative to real destructive Halloween traditions like destroying mailboxes, vandalism, and harassing neighbors.

Ghosts were no longer simply sheets hung in a tree, but were instead actual shimmering translucent figures that moved, spoke, and sang. Around this time, the United States Junior Chamber or the Jaycees , a civic organization for young adults, began encouraging members to put up haunted houses as a way to fundraise. It became such a dependable and lucrative way to raise money that a chapter head in Bloomington, Illinois named Tom Hilligoss wrote a manual and formed the "Haunted House Company" to help other chapters. Hilligoss was the first so-called haunted house expert, traveling across the country giving seminars about how to construct the houses, train actors, advertise, and even how to properly put on horror makeup.

Louis, who is also editor of Hauntworld. Bigger private entities took notice of the Jaycees' success and began launching big-budget commercialized haunted houses. At the same time, Hollywood movies—which for years relied on physical effects, animatronics think Jaws , and live actors—were moving to CGI, SFX, and animation. Many people who once worked in movies building those props and creating those effects saw these live haunted houses as a new way to ply their trade.

The people who made the big bucks were the practical effect geniuses," says Kirchner, "One of the things that capitulated the haunted house industry By , the haunted house industry was being transformed by bigger money, safety regulations in large part due to a fatal fire in a haunted attraction at a New Jersey Six Flags , technological advancements, and consolidation of talent.
But this year, it hit me: Am I not doing October right? Instead of breaking out the Ouija board, I made my way through three spooky, seasonal adventures — ending up with the Bane Haunted House, which bills itself as the scariest haunted house in New York City. This one takes place in a karaoke bar, and focuses on the mystery surrounding the death of Edgar Allan Poe in While mingling with other guests during a cocktail hour, one of the actors asked if I knew how Poe died.
The immersive play begins with the initiation of guests into the Poe Society by Jimmy Harder played by Johnny Pozzi , a fellow so cavalier and roguish that you can safely wager he will be among the first to experience some sort of trauma. The dim lighting, casting shadows on the actors and their movements, along with the original score, by Manuel Pelayo and Giancarlo Bonfanti, created an eerie mood, and one character in particular, Anna Carver Makaela Shealy , with her shrill giggle, nails the caricature of a foolish girl lost in a cult.

Spoiler alert: He died after being found on a street in Baltimore, following an alcohol binge. Through Nov.

The owners said the first room — which pays homage to famous chefs with posters featuring Anthony Bourdain and Julia Child — is the most difficult and then the puzzles get progressively easier.
The first room is outfitted as a restaurant kitchen with a fryer, sinks with dirty dishes, a flat top, burners and pots and pans.
The challenge is to use the clues to retrieve five knives from locked cabinets. It took us a long time to figure it out, and by that point we were too frazzled to start the sleuthing all over again in the second room. We never met the deranged chef, but he made his presence known by loudly banging on the walls.
At first, it was just absurd and funny. But as the hour continued, the song slowed and warped, taking on a sinister tone. I slowly felt as if I were losing my mind. Then at one point, I had to stick my hand in a vat of fryer oil after unlocking a box that held a recipe revealed that clue.
It was just dirty water with liquid smoke, I later learned, but my hand sure did reek of old grease and made me feel queasy. The second room was significantly more macabre: not only was there more frequent banging, but also drills suspended from the ceiling and sputtering on their own. A wrapped, bloodied body was hung upside down like an animal carcass and a heavy, bloodied wrench had been left on a worktable. Even some errant cinder blocks on the ground were overrun with fake rats.
