‘New Jersey’s Largest Haunted House’ Returns For Halloween 2017

LIVINGSTON, NJ — It takes a lot of hard work and preparation to scare the living daylights out of 50,000 people. But don’t worry, New Jersey thrill-seekers… the Bane Haunted House in Livingston has years of practice.

Its owners say that the 40,000-square-foot attraction is the “largest haunted house in New Jersey.” But its size isn’t the only impressive feature Bane has going for it. With more than 70 live actors in creepy costumes and dozens of rooms to explore, the attraction has earned its titles as the “Most Terrifying” and “Scariest Haunted House in NJ” for several years running.

For Halloween 2017, the festivities at the handicap-accessible building will also include a live DJ, an on-site FX makeup team and food trucks, organizers said.

If you plan on making the trip to Livingston when the haunted house opens for the season on Friday, Sept. 29, you’ll likely have plenty of company. According to its owners, Bane Haunted House saw more than 30,000 visitors last year, averaging to 2,000 guests per night.

They expect more than 50,000 guests this year, organizers said.

The haunted house is located at 630 W. Mount Pleasant Avenue in Livingston. It runs from Sept 29 to Oct. 31. Learn more and purchase tickets here.
