CSV Center Haunted House Halloween Fundraiser

Thursday, September 28, 2006
A benefit to support Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center.
Tickets available at SmartTix.

In its third year, “Nightmare” will be bigger and better than ever! After sold-out engagements in 2004 and 2005, New York’s favorite haunted house is back with an all new edition. This fall, NIGHTMARE will possess ALL FIVE BOROUGHS with locations in Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. Presented by Psycho Clan, this sensational fright-fest, created and directed by downtown fearmeister Timothy Haskell, is poised to become the largest haunted event on the East Coast. NIGHTMARE combines urban horror with a visceral interactive theatricality to guarantee a unique and psychologically terrifying experience. Expect a chilling room-by-room encounter with the obsessions, anxieties and phobias that frighten New Yorkers most-borough by borough. NIGHTMARE makes visitors the stars of their own horror story, in a house that knows their worst fear- and forces them to face it.
