'Haunted Subway' Coming To Union Square Station For Halloween

GRAMERCY, NY — With collapsing ceilings, elevator breakdowns and mysterious odors, New Yorkers are already enduring a subway horror show. Now, transit officials are taking often creepy commutes to the next level with a "Haunted Subway."

Come Thursday, Oct. 18 and Friday Oct. 19 the MTA and NYPD's Transit Unit will transform part of the Union Square station into a spooky, "family friendly" subway of horrors, the NYPD announced on Twitter.

The MTA and NYPD did not immediately return requests for more information.

The experience is sponsored by veterans of the haunted house scene including Headline Horseman Hayrides & Haunted Houses and Blood Manor. Other sponsors include Party City and New York Life Insurance — let's hope no one will need any to visit the haunted subway.

Brave New Yorkers can enter the spooky scene at the 15th Street entrance to the Union Square station from 4-7 p.m. on both nights.

Hopefully the experience will take straphangers minds of their nightmare commutes.
