Beneath the streets of Smithtown lies a maximum-security penitentiary, built to contain the most violent and notorious criminals in history. For decades, whispers of riots, failed experiments, and disappearances have haunted the town. Now, the prison’s gates are open—and you’re invited inside.
Step into a terrifying walk-through haunt where each cell block, interrogation chamber, and execution hall tells a story darker than the last. From the creators of Nightmare on Main Street and brought to life by the legendary Abracadabra NYC, this is more than a haunted house—it’s an immersive horror experience that will test your nerves at every turn.
