With that in mind, we’re excited to offer our latest giveaway!
Don’t miss this chance to win 2 free tickets (a $70 value) to Nightmare: Killers haunted house in New York City.
But hurry– the contest ends on Sunday, October 21st!
The prize
One lucky reader will receive two general admission tickets to Nightmare: Killers Haunted House, located in Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
Known as New York’s “most horrifying” haunted house, Nightmare prides itself on bringing our darkest fears to life. This year’s theme– “Killers”– ups the ante from previous installments.
Movie baddies like Jason and Freddy can cause a freak out, but real serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmer and the Zodiac Killer are much scarier. This year, Nightmare takes you through the kill rooms of America’s sickest criminals, from an axe-wielding woman to an infamous clown.
For the extra brave, they’ve added a “please touch me” option this year so you can choose to have physical contact with the performers. Click here for our recent review of Nightmare Killers!
How to enter
Simply log in to the entry form below. You only have to select one activity to enter (leaving a comment on this post) but you will earn extra entries for each additional activity. So don’t hold back!
