Oct Boos and Brews: On The Road to Long Island’s Scariest Haunted Houses

Long Island knows how to haunt. We’re famous for the Amityville Horror House, the real-life inspiration for the film of the same name and a haunted house in Seaford whose strange events in the 50’s inspired the film Poltergeist. At Hotel Indigo we know that Long Island’s East End is the most fun place to celebrate Halloween. Activities abound for kids of all ages with pumpkin picking, navigating haunted nighttime corn mazes, haunted hayrides and so much more. Here are two of this year’s East End houses of horrors that can’t be missed.

In fact, if you really want to get a scare with your drinking age friends, Hotel Indigo is the starting point for the L.I. Brew Bus, Boos & Brews Tour which visits them both.

Located in Wading River and named by Buzzfeed.com as one of the 25 most popular haunted houses in America, Darkside Haunted House is a bone chilling experience the second you get out of your car. The haunted house is made up of two-attractions-in-one, an indoor and outdoor element totaling 14,000 square feet. There’s “The Village” and “The House.” The attraction is riddled with professional scare actors and movie quality sets. The House has been awarded multiple awards for making it a scaretastic experience since 1998.

Another haunted house of scares and thrills is Gateway Haunted Play House, located in Bellport, Long Island. Voted by Hauntworld Magazine as one of America’s Best Haunted Attractions, the terrifying labyrinth of zombies and ghouls will be sure to stir up some screams and at the end enjoy their beer garden, coffin ride and games.
