Face your fears head on. Bane Haunted House holds no prisoners. Dark and carnivorous entities grab, push and scream at you. It’s like being in an insane asylum pumped with a ton of MEDs while trying to sail through a tormented maze. Every step of this 3-level 40,000 square foot former nightclub (Pacha NYC) will have you literally shitting in your pants or better yet pleading, “Mercy!”
Some of our team members couldn’t keep themselves together long enough to make it through while others managed to make it out alive. Many were unscathed, but be prepared to get soiled as you will have to crawl, kneel and push through some obstructions. You may even be spun around a few times – a sneakerhead’s nightmare. Moreover, we’ve been to some relatively challenging ‘horror nights’ like Universal Studios but this will have you piss in your pants while sweating your balls off. Of course, some tours of the house can be with 2 or 3 people; however, on our journey it was barely one per party.
In short, even if you’ve ever skydived out of a plane at 10,000 feet in South Africa and/or zip lined in Costa Rica at 1000 feet above ground while travelling 35 to 55mph, this meticulously designed space will still frighten the bejesus out of you. Last year Bane Haunted House had approximately 30,000 people attend while they were nestled in their New Jersey location. This year they expect door attendance to double with their newly appointed West Side Highway position.
Anyone whom has binge watched Jason and Freddy should drop by. No excuses.
