Kreischer Mansion

I went there and it was the worst
I kept seeing shadows
Feeling like someone or something is with me

Recommend to go at the good days exept Friday

The place is not haunted. Nobody died there. Edward Kreischer shot himself at the factory.
Sad how trashed the current owner has let it get.

Was there to support a charity, friends dad plays in the band that performed on the lawn. Great day to be there.
They have plenty of parking, and you should be able to rent it for the day for a kids' birthday party and such.

I've always wanted to review Kreischer's halloween haunts but I noticed the social media pages (Facebook etc) tend to change every year. I also believe there's no dedicated website for the attraction specifically.

Anywho, the experience's I've gotten have always been top quality here. I've gone to the 2019, 20, 21, and 22 haunts and this review is my overall experience for all the years.

First of all, the property itself does actually feel eerie, it's one of the very few I've been to that actually feels straight out of a horror movie. The hayride/house are a total of 40-45 minutes combined.

The hayride feels like you're immersed into a theater play and the costumes/scenes/interactivity are all amazing. The actors don't just stand around and jump scare you, each one had a story going with them, especially the clown actors.

The best part of this place and the heart of it is actually the actors. I've gone to 20+ halloween attractions but the actors here are alive, creative, and super interactive. (every year it's been like that).

Whoever creates the scares and set pieces/scenes, has it figured out with how to create an entertaining experience.

Another positive here is that from my knowledge, they rarely do repeat scares. Every year I go, it's like the hayride and the house have completely new scenes/characters/scares/set pieces etc.

As for the house, it's a touch-based experience and I highly recommend getting the glow necklace so the actors interact even extra. It's well worth it.

Over the years, I've had actors grab/pick up/hold hostage/push/cage us and one actor even ripped my shirt (by mistake so all in good sport) but point is, the actors here perform at their best. It never feels over-done/uncomfortable or anything like that, it instead feels like an artistic performance play out.

I'm also glad the place splits up groups and spaces out everyone at a reasonable pace in the house, nobody is rushed through, nor do you ever see the group behind/or in front of you. That's honestly the best part, because when you're in the house, it's just you and your group.

There's sometimes even scenes in some rooms that can go on for well over a minute or so, and I've never had the group behind catch up because we're so well spaced out.

Lastly, I hope they can build a website in the future and post a schedule there since not everyone is active on Facebook for updates. Nonetheless, I've always had a blast here and I'd recommend it to any seasoned haunter or newcomer!

Let me begin by saying that I am not into haunted houses or scary movies but this was actually a pretty fun event. The crew members were very “into it” and made it feel realistic throughout the wagon ride and during the tour of the mansion. Everything was very well setup and I liked how they spaced out the groups so you felt “alone” in the mansion. There are a lot of cool sound effects and smoke machines, lights etc to create a spooky vibe. If you like this kind of stuff be sure to check it out. It is worth the price of admission.

Even the security staff was awesome because they were willing and excited to tell us about the real hauntings and investigations that have happened on the property. The mansion has a bit of a gruesome past so it made everything that much more interesting

Impressive place located on a hill in the southern tip of Staten Island. Perfect film location with quite a lot of violent history. The "Boardwalk Empire" production team from HBO couldn't escape the beauty of this place either.
