Spookiest Haunted Houses on Long Island (And Places to Dine Near Them)
October 19, 2022 | What To Do
While some people’s idea of fall is to drink hot apple cider and pick apples and pumpkins, others are looking to get spooked. Here are our three favorite haunted houses on Long Island (and places to dine near them) for a frightful night.
Bayville Scream Park has seven attractions in one! You can choose to venture through the haunted mansion, asylum, funhouse of fear, temple of terror, evil in the woods, and other scary locations. A brand new attraction that opened this year is called “Nyctophobia,” where one has to feel your way through pitch blackness, intense audio-visuals, and spine tingling passageways to survive. If you have an appetite afterwards, our favorite restaurants in Bayville include Shipwreck Tavern, Souvlaki Place of Bayville and Piccolo Cantina Bay.
