Dark Manor

Set in an old movie theatre and the total area being around 20,000 square feet, Fright Haven is Connecticut’s largest haunted house. 

This non-profit haunted attraction sends its visitors through a labyrinth with one scare after another. They use a combination of gas, live actors dressed as witches and ghouls. Assortment of sounds, smells and optical illusions will give you goose bumps.

With lot of scary props and décor items the final effect is eerie. They also conduct halfway to Halloween special shows, but majority happen closer to Halloween in October.
