New York home haunt FAQ
What is a home haunt?
A home haunt is a Halloween display or walk-through haunted house built by a family in their own front yard or garage — not a commercial attraction. Most New York home haunts are free, run by neighbors, and open only a handful of nights around Halloween.
Are home haunts in New York free?
Almost always yes. Home haunts are passion projects, so there's rarely a ticket. Some collect canned goods or donations for charity — each FrightSpot listing notes it when they do.
When are New York home haunts open?
Most open the last two weeks of October, with the biggest nights on the weekend before Halloween and on Halloween itself. Every listing on FrightSpot shows the exact dates and hours the haunt is running.
