Visit the @GravesendInn Haunted Hotel in Brooklyn, an Interactive #ElectronicHalloween Experience
Gravesend Inn is a fun, interactive, and at time slightly creepy haunted house experience designed by Theatreworks, the resident theatrical organization inside New York City’s City Tech. It combines interactive technology with theatrical elements, meaning at times animatronics, or motion-based environments, alongside real-life actors (do not touch the spooky humans!). Below are some pictures I took of last year’s House, which included upside-down rooms, creepy-calling telephone booths, one-way mirrors, and LCD simulating picture frames, window vantages, and more. The whole thing was topped off with an exit into an actual theater, where you could see the multi-camera & interactive system the admins used to control the House (image below) – there was a delay on one screen between your walking through the House and the capture, so you essentially get to see yourself get spooked!!
I wrote about last year’s House here on my own blog; this year the House runs Oct 20-22 & 27-31 – complete details including times, admissions, and directions can be located here.
Dates:
October 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, 29, 31 2016

Voorhees Theatre, 186 Jay Street (north of Tillary), Brooklyn, NY
Admission:
$5 for students (with ID) and group admission
$10 for general sales
Free to New York City College of Technology students with ID the day of the event.
