Haunted Attractions of New England



Fright Kingdom of Nashua N.H.

If like me, you are a fan of a well-done haunted house attraction, Fright Kingdom located just off Route 3 at 12 Simon Street in Nashua N.H. is one you do not want to miss. Located in a former industrial building the entire facility is indoors guaranteeing weather to never be an issue, rain or shine you can still get your spook on! There is ample parking and attendants to make sure you don’t get lost on your way to the scares, you should however beware of an axe wielding clown often seen wandering in the shadows outside!

As soon as you enter the building to purchase your tickets, it is apparent that a tremendous amount of preparation went into creating just the right atmosphere. Strange characters abound even as you enter through the hall of Tarantula’s before queuing up in groups to enter the first of three differently themed sections of a haunted maze!

The first leg of your tour begins with Bloodmare Manor, a Victorian era mansion rumored to be the home of a bloodthirsty family of cannibals. A creepy butler escorts you through the entrance and into a foyer where a little family history is given before you are turned loose to wander the hallways and rooms. Filled with all manner of freakish abnormalities and things that go bump in the dark, it is immediately apparent these people love what they are doing!

What struck me instantly was the sheer amount of detail put into every facet of the attraction. No amount of detail has been spared to create the illusion; these folks take their scares seriously. Every step of the way there are new surprises waiting to leap out at you or appear suddenly at your back breathing down your neck! The shows performers are not just going through the motions, they obviously relish every moment and work hard to ensure that each group through gets the same thrill as the one before. Groups are carefully spaced and synchronized to make sure your party does not miss a thing.

Next up is the 3-D Psycho Circus! This neon slice of garish sleight of hand is really unlike anything you are likely to have encountered before. Given glasses upon entrance, you cross the threshold into a clowns Technicolor nightmare of menacing greasepaint and all manner of circus themed ghoulishness. The 3-D heightens the experience so once again be prepared because you never know what is going to pop out at you!

A hardly haunted matinee is also available to those of you with small children who want the thrill without the trauma! These shows are available Sundays from one to four in the afternoon.

Finally, after escaping the circus you still have to make it through the Vampire’s castle!  A dead maid greets you at the entrance and after ushering you into the parlor has you wait a moment while she announces your arrival. After she has forewarned your host, you are once again free to roam the castles passages and experience all of the grim delights! 

When and more importantly if, you make it through, there are concessions waiting. You can have your palm read, meet a celebrity, score an autograph or get your picture with a python or wandering ghoul! All in all, a hell of a fun night out! Get off the couch and head over to Fright Kingdom tonight to see for yourself what the buzz is about, as they said in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, “don’t dream it, be it”!
