Ah Halloween, the time for haunted houses, horror movies and scandalous costumes.

It's a wonderful time of year. Seriously, what's better than horror movies and haunted houses to scare scantily clothed girl's right into your arms; it's like the amazing wing-man you never had.

If you're one of those lucky people who isn't even scared by the thought of going bald by age 30, well we finally found a Halloween event that'll leave you shaking in your sneaks. Blackout New York, the completely, and sometimes unfortunately, interactive haunted house is back again this year with a whole new show that is certainly going to scare your pants off.

Don't be fooled though dudes, this isn't your typical Halloween haunted house. It's completely interactive and not in the way where people jump out with chainsaws and pretend to saw your head off. Following suit of how it's been in the past, you sign a waiver allowing people to touch you, put disgusting things in your mouth, and basically put you in the most horrifyingly horrible situation that only a psycho's sick mind could think of. Seriously though, people have actually reported having plastic bags put over their head, seeing some naked people do some weird things and some other stuff that we can't even bring ourselves to talk about.

Don't worry, we're pretty sure that nobody can actually kill you or force you to stay (that would just be a law suit waiting to happen), and word on the street is that there's a safe word just in case things get a little bit too intense for you (wimp). Also, rumor has it that since it's a brand new show this year, you don't have to go through this mental torture by yourself, but that doesn't mean you get to go in with people you know (we're really not sure which situation is preferable).

If this sounds like how you want to spend your Halloween weekend, then you better get a move on and get over there; this haunted house is officially closing shop on November 9th.

It was nice knowing you.
