“The Haunt at Wildcliff Mansion” - 10-Day Immersive Experience

New Rochelle, NY: Prepare yourself for a spine-chilling journey as "The Haunt at Wildcliff Mansion" returns for a second year, promising to be bigger and better than ever. Set on a windswept cliff overlooking Echo Bay in New Rochelle, NY, this immersive Halloween experience will transport you to the haunted estate of Dr. Wildcliff, a reclusive botanist with a dark obsession. On select nights in October, guests will explore Dr. Wildcliff’s forgotten laboratory, the restless cathedral and graveyard, the haunted corn maze, and finally, the labyrinthine halls of Wildcliff Mansion, encountering ghostly figures and reanimated horrors at every turn.

Dr. Wildcliff’s forbidden experiments with botany and necromancy have gone horribly wrong. His elixirs, brewed from rare plants and herbs, resurrected corpses into grotesque hybrids of flesh and foliage. Now, these nightmarish creatures haunt the mansion, greenhouse and grounds, their lifeless eyes glowing eerily as they move about. Come and find out if you are brave enough to make it through.

The event is spearheaded by Eastchester technology teacher and Discover Camp director David O'Neil, along with professional set designer and scenic fabricator/painter, David Calamari. Once a student of O’Neil’s 15 years ago, Calamari and O’Neil have joined forces to bring Southern Westchester’s largest haunted attraction to New Rochelle’s Hudson Park.

Enjoy hot chocolate and cider donuts or other treats as you anticipate navigating the haunted grounds, knowing that proceeds from the event will benefit the Hudson Park Children's Greenhouse. Join us for this unparalleled Halloween event and support a great cause while immersing yourself in the haunting legacy of Wildcliff Mansion.
