Playland scares up some frightening fun as the “Scared by the Sound” Haunted House attraction begins Oct. 9 and runs weekends through October.

Come witness for yourself the walking undead as you enter the 10,000 square foot haunt, complete with haunted wine cellar, library, attic, sanitarium and much, much more. Dare to control your senses as you attempt to cross through the tunnel of doom only to find an unbelievable experience awaits you at the other end. Successfully pass through the waterfront cemetery and then through the mausoleum and you are truly home free. Or are you? We dare you to be Scared by the Sound.

“Scared by the Sound” is presented by Dark Attractions Inc. and is accessed by walking through the Fountain Plaza entrance at the park. The attraction is sponsored in part by Blockbuster Video, McDonald’s, Manhattan Beer Distributors, Signs by Con-Tees and Party City.
