Nightmare: Face Your Fear - a pyshological Halloween Haunted House
This terrifying haunted house started in Manhattan a couple of years ago and became a huge hit. This year, there is one in each of the five boroughs. For kids 2 - 10, check out their Crazy Dream House.

Nightmare combines urban horror with a visceral interactive theatricality. And this year, to guarantee a unique and psychologically terrifying experience for each borough, Psycho Clan polled thousands of local residents to list their top 13 fears, and then designed each house based on those responses. The result is a chilling room-by-room encounter with the obsessions, anxieties and phobias that frighten New Yorkers most borough-by-borough. Nightmare makes visitors the stars of their own horror stories, in a house that knows their worst fears and forces them to face it.
