Gateway's Haunted Playhouse

Gateway's Haunted Playhouse in Bellport, New York, is a premier haunted attraction, celebrated as Long Island’s top-rated haunted house, consistently voted the scariest by News12 polls and recognized by USA Today and Hauntworld Magazine as one of America’s best, delivering a theatrical, immersive horror experience. Housed within the historic Gateway Playhouse, a professional theater since 1950, the haunt transforms into a chilling labyrinth where over 100 professionally trained actors bring to life a new, terrifying theme each year, such as a twisted Camelot experiment gone awry, featuring grotesque sorcerers and unpredictable creatures. Meticulously crafted by the theater’s renowned design team, the three-dimensional sets, complete with fog, strobe lights, and eerie soundscapes, create a relentless atmosphere of dread across a 40-minute walkthrough. The attraction also offers a family-friendly Not So Scary Adventure for kids, with Halloween-themed activities like face painting and an inflatable pumpkin bouncer, and a Nightmare Carnival Midway with a Fear Garden serving drinks, a shooting gallery, and food trucks. With a no-touch policy and a reputation for Broadway-caliber production, as noted on gatewayshauntedplayhouse.com, Gateway’s Haunted Playhouse is a must-visit Halloween destination for thrill-seekers.
