Thread: North New Jersey - "Phantasmal Haunt" @ Willowbrook Mall, Wayne NJ

Tweet

I've been reading about the opening of a Surreal Haunted Attraction at a near by shopping mall. It sounds very interesting and may be worth a look.

"Phantasmal Haunt" is the brain child of Don Della Volpe, a career haunter, and renouned NJ Artist Joe Kozak who has created over 30 unnerving oil paintings, dark landscapes, and nearly a dozen sculptures. Kozak himself admits that he had a hard time sleeping with a house full of his Creations surrounding him.

Its a 17th Century Themed Maze which is said to run about 10 minutes and is designed to make you reflect on life and the possible here-after. Della Volpe insists that this haunt isn't Chainsaw Wielding Murders chasing around children for a cheep thrill like many others, "This is not about monsters jumping out at you .." he said ".. its not gory or pornographic, its meant to jar someone mentally"

The actors and staff, many of whom have been in the business for 15+ years, are trained to be ghostly and create a surreal affect to startle you .. some may follow you, some may interact with other props, some may be frightened of YOU. The haunt is not recommended for anyone under the age of 16. Phantasmal Haunt was inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Clive Barker, and Mary Shelly. There is a $13 charge for the maze and it runs through the month of October.
