Strobe lights flashing, fog-filled rooms, and blood-curdling screams echo through the walls of Manhattan\u2019s own BloodManor. But behind the screams lies a dedicated production team, fueled not only by thrilling haunts but also by their commitment to delivering the fright of your life\u2014in the safest way possible.<\/p>\n
BloodManor\u2019s horror-loving creator and owner, Jim Lorenzo, has been curating this chilling experience for 23 years. He began his career in the nightclub industry, hosting a variety of private events. From that passion, BloodManor was born\u2014 \u201cthe most intense, creepy and scream-inducing haunted house attraction in the New York area.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Located at 359 Broadway, BloodManor\u2019s<\/a> home is steeped in history. In 1852, President Abraham Lincoln was photographed there\u2014 the same image now seen on the $5 bill. For many reasons, the manor appears to be a magnet for paranormal activity.\u00a0<\/p>\n Over the years, BloodManor has welcomed horror fans and curious spectators alike. In 2016, Jimmy Fallon and Kevin Hart visited the haunt, resulting in a now-viral <\/a>video of their terrifying trudge through the house.\u00a0<\/p>\n The team behind Blood Manor\u2019s operations is what keeps the attraction relevant year after year, Lorenzo said, \u201cWe have a team of about 20 people that do airbrushing, they do prosthetics, they do wigs, they do costuming that\u2019s just in getting them prepared.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n But beyond the makeup and effects, Lorenzo said the audience experience is the most essential part of their success.\n<\/p>\n \u201cWe make sure safety is first and foremost. I\u2019m an event producer by trade. I\u2019ve done all types of events, so in bringing that knowledge into the industry,\u201d he said, \u201cwe\u2019re considered amusement, but it\u2019s all about safety and scaring the heck out of people.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Nick Piccolo, BloodManor\u2019s director, said that passion is what keeps the production fresh every year, \u201c We just love doing it. Just, you know, it\u2019s a passion, passion that we have for it. Everybody here has a passion for it. We have a good, great crew inside that has a passion for it,\u201d Piccolo said, \u201cAnd that\u2019s why blood matter is so successful. Jim has a great passion for us, and He gives us a great canvas to make everything happen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Each year, some of the rooms may be remodeled or redesigned. But no matter the layout, Lorenzo promises every guest will leave with a unique experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cEvery actor brings a different sense to a room. So you could be in a dining room and it could be played one way, it could be played 10 other ways,\u201d he said. \u201cA lot of that comes out of Nick\u2019s creative, and a little bit sick brain.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n New this season,\u00a0 BloodManor is offering an experience for members of the audience who want to be fully immersed. Select audience members can purchase a \u201cScare Actor Experience<\/a>\u201d and step completely behind the scenes. Instead of just experiencing the haunt, they will become a part of the show, \u201cThey\u2019ll be taken into makeup, wardrobe, talk about the acting experience, and then they\u2019ll actually put into the haunt, and they\u2019ll get to scare people for an hour,\u201d Lorenzo said.\u00a0<\/p>\n BloodManor\u2019s 2025 season runs through Nov. 8. Tickets and more information are available on the attraction\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"BloodManor,](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bloodmanor-Select-Images-5.jpg\" "\\"Take")
