Blood Manor

Fantastic acting.

Since I was out of town for Halloween, I’d still wanted to experience the madness Halloween brings to NYC.
We’d bought tickets for the last show which was on a Friday night, roughly a week after Halloween.
I was very impress with how organized the staff were with such a large and challenging crowd.
Oh boy! I was shivering and nervous cause I wasn’t sure how intense this would be.
Haha! The performers did an excellent job by scaring the heck out of me.
At one point, our group were puzzle for a few minutes as we enter a small maze.
Each room had a creative and haunted look to it. My favorite was the 3D experience along with the mirrors and unthinkable creatures brilliantly sneaking up on us.
We took our time to digest what each room had to offer. It lasted roughly 20 minutes or so.
I’d suggest don’t go alone, it’s much more fun in groups.
Also, it’s worthwhile to have a creative mind and be spontaneous so you can have a satisfying experience.

I’m really glad I sprung for the fast line pass or whatever it was called, because I would have flipped out had I waited two or three hours for this place. It wasn’t the content that bothered me, it was the duration. I feel like we made it through the entire attraction in less than 20 minutes. The actors do their jobs well and the scenery has a nice touch, but again, way too short.

Yesterday for Halloween I came to Blood Manor with my honey and nephew. We had a great time!!! We all agreed we will be back next year for Halloween :)

So I’m pretty sure despite the poor ratings, people will flock here anyway so they have a good thing going for them. I don’t want to say this place sucks, but I’ll say I feel like I wasted both time & money which is one of my least favorite feelings in life.
Pros: The security is on point. A few people tried to cut the insanely long line and the guards actually remembered that we were there and they weren’t in front of us. Appreciated. We made some friends, there was in-​line-​entertainment of sorts (a woman putting 800 staples in her body, and thus breaking a world record o_​O) and thankfully we brought small drinks so the two hour long wait wasn’t as painful as it could have been. The makeup and costumes of the actors inside were well done.
Cons: We thought we were being smart, buying general admission tickets in advance ($ 30). Our time slot was 10pm, we were a little late at 10:30ish but we didn’t actually get indoors until 12am — walk through not starting until around 12:30. It felt longer than a 6 flags line and then it was boring, but I suppose I don’t scare easily. I think I was startled once or twice. I was impressed by makeup/​costume but, though done well, they were simply not scary to me.
I wouldn’t recommend unless it’s with a teenager maybe, I certainly will not be returning. Still on a quest to find a scary haunted house.

Buy the vip tickets. Well worth the value to skip the line.
Great experience. Just no photography so none of your friends can see the amazing room designs and animatronics. If you are a salty, weathered, and jaded, your might not get scared me. Bring an impressionable friend who jumps easily. They will make the experience.
Props to the actors. Some of them are VERY VERY good.

The actors are nice. It’s not too scary, we were separated into a big group. The 3D part is cool. The ticket costs like 35 dollars which is not worth it.

We came here Saturday day night, the line was 3 times around the block. So we give up. We then brought the VIP ticket on living social came back again in Tuesday night. And VIP has no line. The regular line had about 20 people which is not too bad anyways. The VIP line gets to go up the second floor by an elevator.
Since I was the 1 st one in the group, I got to feel the tense. On the scale of 0 – 10, I would give this place 9.5.

This place is trash and no organization. Bought the 9pm ticket, were on line until 12am, and we were still about an hour away from the entrance. What is the point of selling time slot tickets lol? The actors running around the lines are entertaining, can only imagine what it was like on the inside. However I can’t imagine a 4hr wait being worth it especially since the walkthrough is 20min at most. At least Über Pool only costs about $ 9 back to the ferry.

It was over wayy too quick, no scares. Just actors screaming in your face. Props were very cheap and looked like discounted halloween items. Some bald dude ruined the last room by training a clown actor in the middle of our session.

Had 7:00pm tickets and had to wait 2 ½ long hours along side with all the people that had 7pm tickets. Blood manor is greedy and un organized. Finally made it in to the haunted house after waiting 2 ½ hours and the walk through lasted less then 10 minutes. Never ever again will I give my money to blood manor! Save your money don’t go to blood manor!

Been on line since 9pm. Still not near the entrance. This is done very poorly. Never again and still haven’t been inside.

I had a good time everything was organized and the staff was very friendly. I purchased tickets for the first time slot of 7pm on a Friday and got there around 6:30 pm. There was a bit of a line but not to long. My phone was going to die and I was able to get someone to scan my ticket on my phone once I got there which was very helpful. The entire walk through was about 10 minutes or so. It had its moments of being scary and I had a few laughs and screams I did enjoy myself. It isn’t super scary but something to do in the Halloween spirit. They did a good job with the props and actors which is why I am giving 4 stars for support. I think they should do a mirrored room and maybe a room in all smoke or fog as a suggestion.

My friends and I were waiting in line until 1am, even though we were promised a 9pm time slot.
This alone was very poorly managed and kind of dodgy. It feels like they got greedy and were more focused on the people who paid extra to cut the line. I wouldn’t be so upset if they had kept their word and had a limit to how many people they let in ahead of us. Again– we lost four hours
Can’t be good for the clients nor the actors that might have to work even longer because of this shitty, money grabbing scheme. I’m extremely disappointed. I feel like I was scammed.
If I could give this a –1 star I would.
We even heard actors asking how long it would take for the line to end. They weren’t too impressed when they heard it was «stretching all the way to the Hudson» 15 minutes before closing
(And this was the line for people promised a time slot. If we got in at 1am for the 9pm group– what will happen to people from the 10pm group and beyond? They state they don’t give refunds so I’m kind of curious to see how well that pans out)

It was fun; entertaining but not really scary. Maybe if your in a smaller group you might be. In a bigger group it’s easier to tell when actors are going to jump out so you loose a bit of the surprise.
Also felt quick/​short for the money paid.

Decent haunted house! I’m not scared too easily and I was definitely scared good a few times! Would have preferred it to last a little longer, I felt like it was over pretty quick!
They sent the two of us through with another couple so it was nice to be in a small group.
Worth checking out!

I went with a group on a Saturday around 9:30pm. Me and my family made blood manor some what of a Halloween tradition and I would have to say this year was a disppointment. My scare score would be a 7.5

I love haunted houses. But this is more of a fetish house for people who like piercings and hooking and hanging by the skin of their backs. The entertainment, while in line, was watching someone hang by hooks in their back skin. And another guy offered to let us staple $ 20 to his forehead with a staple gun, and my friend did it. Not much to the haunted house but more skin piercings and hookings.

This place provides decent scares. I do wish the finale for it was bigger. There was a good build up, but then I went through a door, and boom! the gift shop! There was also some issue with meeting up with the group ahead of you. It always lessens the scare when the things that jump out are already out when you’re in the room. Still, the actors were very committed so the scares were nevertheless there.
I have to say though that the ghouls that scare you while you’re waiting in line were probably the best. They were hella entertaining. Made the wait seem like nothing. One even had great slight of hand magic. Great!

Now let me start by saying I’m a scary/​horror movie fanatic. I love blood, gore and the shock value more than the next person, but this just didn’t do it for me.
The actors can’t touch you or you them, boring. Also I prefer to not go with a group to be the first one is always a better experience.
And it was over in 20 min! Not worth it in my opinion. Will try nightmare in LES.
