“This brilliant little attraction is exactly what you want in a haunted house. It’s clever, scary, and guaranteed to make you jump.” – The Raven and the Black Cat

(New York, NY) – Timothy Haskell, of NIGHTMARE (New York’s most horrifying haunted house and AOL CityGuide’s No. 1 rated haunted attraction in NYC) and longtime Bronx haunter Bobby Ferrara have joined forces with Steve Kopelman, producer of THE NEST (named ABC News / Good Morning America’s “Scariest Place in America”) to stage the most intense haunted house the Bronx and Westchester has ever seen with BRONX HAUNTED WAREHOUSE which will run from October 5th until October 31st, 2012 at 1157 Commerce Avenue in the Bronx. www.hauntedhousebx.com
Perfectly situated in the Bronx to cater to both a local and Westchester audience, BRONX HAUNTED WAREHOUSE (formerly Nightmare: Z-Day) is bigger, badder and scarier than before in this dynamic, modern version of a classic zombie haunted house. With multiple new rooms and added scares and effects, this Haunted Warehouse promises to amp up the terrifying fear factor from last year’s horrifying and much raved about debut. BRONX HAUNTED WAREHOUSE will provide plenty of screams as zombies chase you from every angle and surprise you in the most unexpected places. It is the Zombie Apocalypse and it is time to put your survival skills to the test. Will you survive? Or will they eat your…braaaaaaiiiiiins?!
