New Jersey’s Brighton Asylum has been making waves for a while now. Time and time again, it’s been selected as one of the world’s scariest haunted houses, but it’s so much more than that. An interactive journey offering multiple bone-chilling experiences, it’s the stuff of nightmares. If you’ve been before, you’ll want to visit again because it gets better every year.
The legend goes like this...Brighton's industrial complex was used to house violent mental patients throughout the 1940s.
After allegations of harsh living conditions, grotesque medical experiments, and staff disappearances, the state forced the closure of the asylum in 1952. For decades it was left to decay, but was opened to the public in 2011 so that they may experience the unthinkable events that occurred years ago.
It's the scariest and most interactive haunted house you've ever experienced. The terrifying creatures and eerie atmosphere are second to none. It's like walking into a horror movie.

The addition of The Bleeding Grounds in 2018 made this the largest indoor walk-through haunted house in New Jersey.
This is a special pre-asylum experience. You'll start your journey at Brighton Asylum’s research and development center, where you and your friends will be subjected to a series of testing procedures by Brighton’s own research team. Feeling brave?
Brighton Asylum offers a virtual reality experience, intense 5-minute escape rooms, and ax throwing.
As you can see, Brighton Asylum isn’t your average haunted house. A world-class attraction with top of the line actors, animatronics, costumery, sets, and special effects, every horror lover should visit. Open for the fall season, you can learn more and book tickets by visiting their website here. If you prefer something less terrifying this Halloween, try this family-friendly evening corn maze.
