House Of Horrors: A Visit To Blood Manor




Soundcheck show

Summary: As our House Of Horrors series continues, Soundcheck is visited by Jim Faro and Jimmy Lorenzo -- two of the creators of the New York City haunted house, Blood Manor -- conveniently located right across the street from WNYC's studios. Before visiting Blood Manor, Soundcheck producer Katie Bishop spoke to Jim and Jimmy about what it takes to create a true house of horrors.  Listen to what happened when producers Katie Bishop and Mike Katzif went through Blood Manor -- you can hear their terrified (and hilarious) reactions to the experience below. Soundcheck's Trip Through Blood Manor    Jim Faro on transforming a warehouse into a haunted house: "When you enter the attraction, the goal is to forget you're on the second floor of a building on Varick Street. You're in Blood Manor for the next 20 minutes or so. We go to great lengths creatively and economically, you know, in New York City things are expensive to do -- to make sure that that atmosphere and that whole ambiance stays with you and that all your senses are assaulted once you're in the manor."  Jim and Jimmy's Tips for Blood Manor first-timers:  Make sure to use the restroom beforehand. But if you pee your pants you get a free shirt! Don't eat beforehand. Don't cover your eyes -- enjoy it!
