Our Story

What started with a group of childhood friends, their families, and a love for Halloween grew from an elementary school haunt into a one-night tradition at their parents’ home in West Harrison. As the crowds grew, the scares moved to North White Plains, where the haunt continued for years until COVID brought everything to a stop.

But the haunting wasn’t over.

After searching for a new home, the tradition returned in Ossining, New York, at Cedar Lane Park, where Haunt at Cedar Park Woods was born.

Real Actors. Real Scares.

Our haunt is built around talented scareactors, detailed costumes, terrifying makeup, and the element of surprise. Once darkness falls, the woods transform—shadows move, screams echo, and you never know what may be waiting around the next corner.

The tradition continues. The scares are real. And we’re waiting for you in the woods.
